Guselkumab
Arm Description
Participants will receive 50 milligram (mg) guselkumab subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 4 and 12. At Week 16 through the study end (Week 52) participants who are defined "Very much improved" or "Much improved" in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) will continue to receive guselkumab 50 mg every 8 weeks from Week 20 to the study end (Week 52). At each visit timing from Week 20, participants who are defined "No change" or "Worsened" in CGI will receive guselkumab 100 mg and continue 100 mg every 8 weeks dosing until the study end (Week 52). Participants who are defined "Minimally improved" in CGI will also receive guselkumab 100 mg only if the investigator considers that it is necessary.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants with Treatment Success at Week16
Treatment success is defined as "Very much improved", "Much improved" or "Minimally improved" in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale. The CGI scale is a brief clinician-rated instrument which has five categories (Very much improved (1), Much improved (2), Minimally improved (3), No change (4), Worsened (5).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Week 16 and Over Time
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score is a participant-reported outcome consisting of a set of 10 questions regarding the degree to which the participant's skin has affected certain behaviors and quality of life over the last week. Responses to each are: very much (score of 3), a lot, a little, or not at all (score of 0). The DLQI score ranges from 0 (best) to 30 (worst); the higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score less than (<) 6 indicates that psoriasis has small or no effect at all on participant's life. In addition to evaluating overall quality of life (QOL) can be used to assess 6 different aspects that may affect QOL: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school performance, personal relationships, and treatment.
Percentage of Participants with Treatment Success Over Time
Treatment success is defined as "Very much improved", "Much improved" or "Minimally improved" in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale. The CGI scale is a brief clinician-rated instrument which has five categories (Very much improved (1), Much improved (2), Minimally improved (3), No change (4), Worsened (5).
Percentage of Participants With Investigator's global assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1 at Week 16 and over time
Investigator's global assessment (IGA) score is Investigator's assessment of the participant's psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
Percent Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Week 16 and over time
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas is assessed separately for erythema, induration and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 to 4. The PASI produces a total numeric score that can range from 0 to 72.
Change From Baseline in Total and Component Japanese Dermatological Association (JDA) Severity Index for Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP) Over Time
Japanese Dermatological Association (JDA) severity index for GPP consists of area of etythema with pustules, area of erythema (total), area of edema, fever, white blood cells (WBC), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and serum albumin. The total score of JDA severity index for GPP is assigned a score of 0-17 (0=best, 17=worst).
Change From Baseline in Components of the JDA Severity Index for GPP Over Time
Area of erythema with pustules, area of erythema (total), area of edema are rated as 0 to 3. Fever, WBC, hsCRP and serum albumin are rated as 0 to 2.
Change From Baseline in Observed Value of Components of the JDA Severity Index for GPP Over Time
Area of erythema with pustules, area of erythema (total), area of edema are rated as 0 to 3. Fever, WBC, hsCRP and serum albumin are rated as 0 to 2.
Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) of Involvement of Lesion for Erythrodermic Psoriasis (EP) Over Time
Calculation of BSA involvement in dermatological lesion is used to measure disease severity and treatment responses for participants with EP.
Percentage of Participants with DLQI Score of 0 or 1 Over Time in Participants With Baseline DLQI More Than 1
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score is a participant-reported outcome consisting of a set of 10 questions regarding the degree to which the participant's skin has affected certain behaviors and quality of life over the last week. Responses to each are: very much (score of 3), a lot, a little, or not at all (score of 0). The DLQI score ranges from 0 (best) to 30 (worst); the higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score less than (<) 6 indicates that psoriasis has small or no effect at all on participant's life. In addition to evaluating overall quality of life (QOL) can be used to assess 6 different aspects that may affect QOL: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school performance, personal relationships, and treatment.
Percentage of Participants With a Reduction of 5 or More Points in DLQI Score Over Time
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score is a participant-reported outcome consisting of a set of 10 questions regarding the degree to which the participant's skin has affected certain behaviors and quality of life over the last week. Responses to each are: very much (score of 3), a lot, a little, or not at all (score of 0). The DLQI score ranges from 0 (best) to 30 (worst); the higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score less than (<) 6 indicates that psoriasis has small or no effect at all on participant's life. In addition to evaluating overall quality of life (QOL) can be used to assess 6 different aspects that may affect QOL: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school performance, personal relationships, and treatment.
Change From Baseline in Physical and Mental Component Summary Scores of SF-36 Over Time
The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) is a generic 36-item questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) having 2 measures: physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). It consists of 8 subscales. The PCS is represented by 4 subscales: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. The MCS is represented by 4 subscales: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Participants self-report on items in a subscale that have between 2-6 choices per item using Likert-type responses (e.g. none of the time, some of the time, etc.). Summations of item scores of the same subscale give the subscale scores, which are transformed into a range from 0 to 100; zero= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. PCS and MCS scores are constructed as a T-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10 and no minimum or maximum score; higher scores indicate better health status.
Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI): Psoriasis (PSO) Over Time
Work productivity was measured by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI). The WPAI questionnaire is used to measure productivity loss associated with psoriasis during the past 7 days. It consists of six questions about absence from work because of psoriasis, hours actually worked, reduction in productivity at work attributed to psoriasis and reduction in productivity while performing daily activities. This instrument generates four scores between 0 and 100: absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment at work / reduced productivity while working), work productivity loss (overall work impairment /absenteeism plus presenteeism) and activity impairment, which were expressed in percentage of impairment.
