A Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Ustekinumab in Adolescent Patients With Psoriasis (CADMUS)

The PGA documents the physician's assessment of the participant's psoriasis status according to the following categories: induration, scaling, and erythema. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as 5-point scale as follows: cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4); higher score indicates worse disease. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of 0 or 1 at Week 12 in each treatment group.

The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse disease. A PASI 75 response is defined as a equal to or greater than (=>) 75% improvement in PASI score from baseline. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PASI 75 response at Week 12 in each treatment group.

The CDLQI is a dermatology-specific quality of life instrument designed to assess the impact of the disease on a child's quality of life. The CDLQI, a 10-item questionnaire has 4 items response options and a recall period of 1 week. In addition to evaluating overall quality of life, the CDLQI can be used to assess 6 different aspects that may affect quality of life: symptoms and feelings, leisure, School or holidays, personal relationships, sleep, and treatment. The CDLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0; the higher the score, the greater impairment in quality of life. The table below shows the mean change in CDLQI score from baseline at Week 12 for each treatment group.

The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating worse disease. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PASI 90 response defined as achieving a greater than or equal to (≥) 90% improvement in PASI score from baseline.

The PGA documents the physician's assessment of the participant's psoriasis status according to the following categories: induration, scaling, and erythema. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as 5-point scale as follows: cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4); higher score indicates worse disease. The table below shows the percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of 0 and the percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of 0, 1, or 2 at Week 12 in each treatment group.

The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). The table below shows the percentage of participants in each treatment group who were PASI 50 responders at Week 12 defined as participants who achieved a greater than or equal to (>=) 50% improvement in PASI score from baseline as well as the percentage of participants with a PASI score of 0.

The PedsQL is a general health-related quality of life measure developed for use in children and adolescent populations. The Generic Core Scale contains 23 items and is comprised of 4 domains: physical, social, emotional, and school functioning. Each domain can be scored independently. Additionally, a Psychosocial Health and Physical Health Summary Score can be calculated as well as a total score. The measure distinguishes between healthy children and children with acute and chronic health conditions and disease severity within a chronic health condition. The measure is applicable for healthy school and community populations, as well as with pediatric populations with acute and chronic health conditions and has versions for both parent and teen report. Scores range from 0 to 100, and higher scores indicate better health related quality of life.
