Study of Subcutaneous Risankizumab Injection to Assess Change in Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index [PPPASI] in Adult Japanese Participants With Palmoplantar Pustulosis
Study Purpose
Palmoplantar pustulosis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that causes repeated on and off symptoms like erythema (reddening, irritation), vesicle (swelling, cyst), pustules, scale, and crusts in palms and soles. This study evaluates how well risankizumab works compared to placebo (no medicine) to treat palmoplantar pustulosis. Study will assess change in Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index [PPPASI]. Risankizumab is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of palmoplantar pustulosis. This study is "double-blinded", which means that neither the trial participants nor the study doctors will know who will be given study drug and who will receive placebo (no medicine). Participants are randomly put into 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms to receive risankizumab or placebo in period A. In period B, each group receives both risankizumab and placebo at different time intervals. Around 116 adult participants with palmoplantar pustulosis will be enrolled in approximately 39 sites across Japan. Participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of risankizumab or placebo at Week 0 and Week 4 (Period A). Beginning Week 16 (Period B), both the groups will receive risankizumab and placebo at different intervals. Total treatment duration is 56 weeks. There may be a higher burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT04451720 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
