Brief summary

This study will evaluate whether adult participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who have been treated with secukinumab or ixekizumab for at least 6 months and are experiencing a suboptimal response may benefit from switching to risankizumab with regard to skin symptoms, quality of life symptoms and psoriasis symptoms. Study duration will last for up to 64 weeks with risankizumab given by subcutaneous injection at Week 0, Week 4, and then every 12 weeks for 52 Weeks (With the last dose being administered at Week 40). An additional visit will occur at Week 8 for a physical exam and questionnaire collection. A final follow-up phone call will occur at Week 60.

Inclusion criteria

* Diagnosed with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months before Baseline (Week 0). * Participant must have been on labeled secukinumab or ixekizumab treatment for at least 6 months and are experiencing suboptimal response at time of Screening and Baseline visits. * Participant must have a Body Surface Area (BSA) 3%- \<10% and Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 2/3 * Participant must be eligible for continued biologic therapy as assessed by the investigator.

Exclusion criteria

* History of erythrodermic psoriasis, generalized or localized pustular psoriasis, medication-induced or medication-exacerbated psoriasis, or new onset guttate psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis. * Participant with active skin disease other than plaque psoriasis that could interfere with the assessment of plaque psoriasis. * History of any documented active or suspected malignancy or history of any malignancy within the last 5 years except for successfully treated non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix. * History of major surgery within 12 weeks prior to Baseline or planned to be performed during the conduct of the trial as assessed by the investigator. * Participant with exposure to risankizumab or any IL-23 inhibitors.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of Participants Achieving Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 0/1At Week 16The sPGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. A lower score indicates less body coverage, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of Participants Achieving a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1At Week 16The DLQI is a self-administered, 10-question questionnaire covering 6 domains (symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and bother with psoriasis treatment). The response options range from 0, not affected at all, to 3, very much affected. This gives an overall range of 0 to 30 where lower scores mean better quality of life.
Proportion of Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Symptoms Scale (PSS) 0At Week 16The PSS is a 4-item patient-reported outcome (PRO) instrument that assesses the severity of psoriasis symptoms in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis (Appendix 8.2). The symptoms included are: pain, redness, itching and burning from psoriasis. Current symptom severity is assessed as a daily diary, using a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe).
Proportion of Participants Achieving Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 0/1At Week 52The sPGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. A lower score indicates less body coverage, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear.
Proportion of Participants Achieving a sPGA Clear Response (sPGA 0)At Week 16The sPGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. A lower score indicates less body coverage, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear.
Time to Achieve sPGA 0/1Up to Week 52The sPGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. A lower score indicates less body coverage, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear.

Recruitment details

Significant site non-compliance for this study was identified at one site since interim results were posted. As a result of this finding, participants enrolled in this trial site were not included in any final analysis. Adverse events or lab abnormalities were reported in 1 participant from this site. The participant was on risankizumab and had a non serious event of headache (assessed as mild), which did not lead to study drug discontinuation
