DrugZasocitinib.
Other names: TAK-279, NDI-034858
NCT Number: NCT07250802
The main aim of this study is to see how well the medicine zasocitinib works, how safe it is, and how children and teenagers aged 4 to under 18 with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis respond to it.
The study will be done in 2 parts: Part A will include both children and teenagers, while part B will only include children.
At first, only teenagers who meet the study rules can participate in this study. Children may only start to participate once enough information has been collected from other studies with zasocitinib.
Participants in Part A will initially be assigned to receive either zasocitinib or placebo for the first 16 weeks of treatment, then all participants will receive zasocitinib through the end of the study. All participants in Part B will be assigned to receive treatment with zasocitinib throughout the study.
Participants will be in the study for up to 4 years and 2 months (217 weeks), including up to 35 days for the screening period, 208 weeks of treatment (Part A and Part B) and a 4-week safety follow-up period. During the study, participants will visit their study site multiple times.

The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA composite score ranges from 0 to 4 and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean greater than (>) 0, less than (<) 1.5; Mild (2) = mean >= 1.5, <2.5; Moderate (3) = mean >=2.5, <3.5; and Severe (4) = mean >=3.5. The percentage of participants achieving an sPGA of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) with a >= 2-point decrease from baseline at Week 16 will be reported.
Time frame: At Week 16
The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity (less than or equal to [<=] 3 representing mild disease, >= 3 to 15 representing moderate disease, and >= 15 indicating severe disease). The PASI-75 is defined as 75% improvement from baseline in PASI score. The percentage of participants achieving >= 75% improvement from baseline in PASI score at Week 16 will be reported.

ssPGA assesses the overall severity of active psoriasis on the participant's scalp. Scalp lesions will be evaluated in terms of clinical signs of erythema, induration, and scaling and scored on 5-point ssPGA scale where 0=absence of disease and 4=severe disease. Higher scores indicate more severe scalp psoriasis. The percentage of participants achieving an ssPGA score of at least 3 at baseline who show an ssPGA score of 0 or 1 with a >= 2-point decrease at Week 16 will be reported.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 16
Psoriasis BSA will be assessed by means of the handprint method, where the surface of the palm and 5 digits of the participant's hand represents 1% BSA. The sum of handprints equates to the total surface area of involvement. The change from baseline in BSA affected by psoriasis at Week 16 will be assessed.

The DLQI is a 10-item validated questionnaire completed by participants aged 16 years or older at screening, which is used to assess the impact of skin disease on the participant's quality of life (QoL) during the previous week. The questionnaire covers 6 domains, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships and treatment. Each question is scored from 0=not at all, 1=a little, 2=a lot, and 3=very much, giving a total score ranging from 0 to 30. A high score is indicative of a poor QoL. DLQI scores indicate: 0-1 (no effect on participant's life), 2-5 (small effect on participant's life), 6-10 (moderate effect on participant's life), 11-20 (very large effect on participant's life), 21-30 (extremely large effect on participant's life). The percentage of participants with a baseline DLQI Score >= 2 who achieve DLQI Score of Zero (0) or One (1) at Week 16 will be assessed.

Plasma concentrations of zasocitinib will be assessed using a validated liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry bioanalytical method.
Time frame: Day 1, Day 7 and Day 14
The acceptability and palatability of zasocitinib will be assessed using the Acceptability Palatability Questionnaire. In this 5-item questionnaire, participants will be asked to evaluate the palatability and acceptability of zasocitinib considering the following elements: smell, taste, ease of swallowing, and aftertaste. This questionnaire uses an 11-point scale anchored at 0; a higher score means better acceptability and palatability.
