A Long Term Study To Evaluate The Safety, Tolerability And Efficacy Of CP-690,550 In Patients With Moderate To Severe Plaque Psoriasis And/Or Psoriatic Arthritis

The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both, "lesion severity" and the "percent of body surface area (BSA)" affected. PASI is a composite scoring assessed by the investigator, of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk [including axillae and groin], and lower limbs [including buttocks]), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The PASI score can vary in increments of 0.1 and range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. PASI75 response was defined as at least a 75 percent (%) reduction in PASI at Week 16 relative to Baseline.

The PGA of psoriasis is scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling are scored separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale (0 [no symptom] to 4 [severe symptom]). The total score was calculated as average of the 3 severity scores and rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine the PGA score and category (0=clear; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; and 4=severe). PGA response was defined as 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).

ACR20 response: greater than or equal to (>=) 20 percent (%) improvement in tender joint count; >=20% improvement in swollen joint count; and >=20% improvement in at least 3 of 5 remaining ACR core measures: participant assessment of pain; participant global assessment of disease activity; physician global assessment of disease activity; self-assessed disability (disability index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ]); and C-Reactive Protein (CRP).

Adjudicated cardiovascular events were assessed by investigators as independent reviewers based on event documentation including: hospital discharge summaries, operative reports, clinic notes, ECGs, diagnostic enzymes, results of other diagnostic tests, autopsy reports and death certificate information; specific requirements vary with the event requiring adjudication.

For all biopsies of potentially malignant tumors, suspicious lymphadenopathy, or possible extranodal LPD, the study site requested the pathologist to send the original slides used to make the definitive diagnosis, ancillary study reports, and the pathologist's report to the central laboratory for a blinded review by a central pathologist.

The NAPSI quantifies severity of nail psoriasis by evaluating the presence or absence of psoriatic manifestations on the nail matrix (pitting, leukonychia, red spots on lulunea, crumbling) and nail bed (onycholysis, splinter hemorrhages, subungual hyperkeratosis, oil drop [salmon patch dyschromia]). Each finger nail divided with imaginary lines into quadrants and scored for both nail matrix and nail bed psoriasis (range from 0 [absence of psoriasis] to 4 [presence of psoriasis in all 4 quadrants]). The total NAPSI score equals the sum of scores for all of the finger nails evaluated and ranges from 0 to 80. Higher scores = more severe psoriasis.

Nail psoriasis is evaluated by the presence or absence of psoriatic manifestations on the nail matrix (pitting, leukonychia, red spots on lulunea, crumbling) and nail bed (onycholysis, splinter hemorrhages, subungual hyperkeratosis, oil drop [salmon patch dyschromia]). Total number psoriasis affected nails (presence of psoriatic manifestations on the nail matrix/nail bed) were assessed and reported.

ISI assessed severity of itch (pruritus) due to psoriasis. ISI is a single item, horizontal numeric rating scale. Participants were asked to rate "your worst itching due to psoriasis over the past 24 hours" on a numeric rating scale anchored by the terms "No itching" (0) and "Worst possible itching" (10) at the ends for post baseline time points. Baseline ISI is average of scores on 7 days prior to start of study treatment.

The DLQI is a 10 item general dermatology questionnaire that assess health related quality of life (daily activities, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, leisure, work and school, and treatment). The DLQI item response options are rated by the participant from 0 (not at all/not relevant) to 3 (very much) with a total score range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst); higher scores indicate poor quality of life.

36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a standardized survey evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well-being: physical and social functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, bodily pain, general health, vitality, mental health. These 8 aspects are summarized as physical and mental health summary scores. The score range for the physical and mental health scores is 0-100 (100=highest level of functioning).

WLQ: participant-reported 25-item scale to evaluate degree to which health problems interfere with an ability to perform job roles along 4 dimensions: Time Management scale (5 items); Physical Demands scale (6 items); Mental-Interpersonal Demands Scale (9 items); Output Demands Scale (5 items). All the scales ranged from 0 (limited none of the time) to 100 (limited all of the time). The WLQ Index score is the weighted sum of the scores from the 4 WLQ scales (total score: 0 [no loss] to 100 [complete loss of work]).

The PtGA asks the participant to evaluate the overall cutaneous disease at that point in time on a single item, 5-point scale (0=clear [no psoriasis]; 1=almost clear; 2=mild; 3=moderate; 4=severe).

The JPA assesses severity of joint pain. The JPA is a horizontal numeric rating scale. Participants were asked to "select the number that best describes any joint pain that participant may have experienced over the past 24 hours" with response options ranging from "0-no joint pain" to "10-worst possible joint pain."

ACR20 response: greater than or equal to (>=) 20 percent (%) improvement in tender joint count; >=20% improvement in swollen joint count; and >=20% improvement in at least 3 of 5 remaining ACR core measures: participant assessment of pain; participant global assessment of disease activity; physician global assessment of disease activity; self-assessed disability (disability index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ]); and C-Reactive Protein (CRP).

Sixty eight (68) joints were assessed by a rheumatologist investigator to determine the number of joints that were considered tender or painful. The response to pressure/motion on each joint was assessed with the following scale: Present/Absent/Not Done/Not Applicable (for Artificial or missing joints).

Sixty six (66) joints were assessed for swelling by a rheumatologist investigator to determine the number of joints that were considered swelling. The response to pressure/motion on each joint was assessed with the following scale: Present/Absent/Not Done/Not Applicable (for Artificial or missing joints).

Subjects assessed the severity of their arthritis pain with a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) by placing a mark on the scale between 0 (no pain) and 100 (the most severe pain), which corresponded to the magnitude of their pain.

Subjects answered the following question, "Considering the possible effects of the arthritis, how are you feeling today?" The subject's response was recorded with a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS), where 0 = very well and 100 = very poorly.

The rheumatologist investigator assessed how the subject's overall arthritis appeared at the time of the visit. This was an evaluation based on the subject's disease signs, functional capacity and physical examination, and was independent of the PGA of arthritis. The rheumatologist investigator's response was recorded a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS), where 0 = very good and 100 = very poor.

The blood samples were collected at each visit for analysis of CRP with an assay analyzed by the central laboratory.

HAQ-DI: participant-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week. Each item scored on 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0-3 where 0=least difficulty and 3=extreme difficulty.
