Severe Plaque Psoriasis in Chinese Children
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a real-world clinical study of adalimumab. The project plans to enrol 30 participants and aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in Chinese children with plaque psoriasis, with the primary endpoint being the proportion of participants achieving PASI 75 (PASI score reduction ≥75% from baseline) at week 16.
Interventions
Adalimumab is a fully human anti-tumour necrosis factor-alpha monoclonal antibody that inhibits the downstream inflammatory cascade by blocking Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), a core inflammatory factor in psoriasis. In March 2020, adalimumab was approved in China for the treatment of severe plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents aged four years and older who have not responded well to topical therapies and phototherapy or are unsuitable for such treatments.
