Study of Adalimumab (HUMIRA®) in Patients With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis (PS) in Spain (PROMISE)

PASI is a measurement of the severity of psoriasis. It is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). A lower (and negative) value of change indicates an increase in the severity of the psoriasis, while a positive value indicates an improvement in the severity of the PS. Missing data were imputed using last observation carried forward (LOCF).

PASI is a measurement of the severity of psoriasis. It is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). PASI 50 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 50% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

PASI is a measurement of the severity of psoriasis. It is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). PASI 75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

PASI is a measurement of the severity of psoriasis. It is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). PASI 90 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 90% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

PASI is a measurement of the severity of psoriasis. It is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). PASI 100 response is the percentage of participants who achieved a 100% reduction (improvement) from baseline in PASI score. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

Body Surface Area (BSA) affected or the psoriasis area is determined by the direct calculation of the affected body surface area. This determination was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment during each of the study visits. The change was calculated by deducting the final score from the baseline score. Increased scores correspond to reduction of severity and reduction of BSA. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

The PGA was used to measure participants' disease status at the time of assessment. This tool is a horizontal visual analogue 6-point scale measuring the degree of overall psoriatic lesion severity, and scores range from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe). The percentage of patients who showed an improvement from baseline in their PGA scores is presented. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

DLQI is a self-administered Health Related Quality of Life (HRQL) questionnaire specifically for patients with dermatological diseases, adapted and validated in the Spanish population. It consists of 10 items with a Likert response scale for 4 categories and uses a 7 day time reference. It generates a global score that ranges from 0 (better HRQL) to 30 (worse HRQL) points. Change in DLQI was calculated by deducting the final score from the baseline score. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

The EQ-5D VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a scale from 0-100 where increased scores correspond to better HRQL. 0 is the 'worst imaginable health state' and 100 is the 'best imaginable health state'. Change in EQ-5D VAS score was calculated by deducting the final score from the baseline score. Increased scores correspond to better health state. Missing data were imputed using LOCF.

WPAI-SHP is a questionnaire used to evaluate lost productivity. The scores on the WPAI questionnaire are presented as percentages (multiplying the scores by 100), with 0% representing no impact on productivity and 100% representing complete impact on productivity. Change in WPAI-SHP was calculated by deducting the final score from the baseline score. Increased (positive) scores correspond to a reduction in the percentage of lost work productivity. Missing data were imputed using LOCF. n=the number of participants with data at each time point.

AESIs are adverse events of special interest, including infection, neoplasm, lupus-like, demyelinating disease, serious hepatic and/or haematological event.

SAEs are adverse event with any of the following severity criteria: Potentially fatal/endangers life, Hospitalisation or prolonging of hospitalisation, a medically important event that requires medical or surgical intervention to prevent a serious outcome, Disability or persistent incapacitation, death, congenital anomalies and/or miscarriage or abortion.

See the Reported Adverse Events Section for more details.
