About this trial
The main aim of this study is to check the safety and effectiveness of tildrakizumab regarding the alleviation of symptoms in the genital area after administration according to the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) and to access overall treatment safety and quality of life assessed on multiple scales.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician's Global Assessment of Genitalia (sPGA-G) Score of "Clear" (0) or "Almost Clear" (1)
The sPGA-G is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, with a larger score indicating greater severity, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of psoriatic genital lesions.
Change From Baseline in Modified Genital Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (mGPASI) Score
mGPASI determines participants psoriasis severity in the genital region at a given time point yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease. Scoring index incorporates the degree of erythema (or redness), induration (or thickness), and scaling) of the genital plaques as well as erosion, fissure, and/or ulcer as a product of the genital area involved.
Secondary outcomes
Change From Baseline in Genital Psoriasis Symptoms Scale (GPSS) Score
The GPSS is a self-reported measure where participants were asked to assess each of their psoriasis symptoms (itch, pain, discomfort, stinging, burning, redness, scaling, and cracking) in the genital area and select a number on a scale of 0-10, where 0 represents no symptoms, and 10 represents the worst imaginable. Each symptom assessment were summed to generate a total GPSS score ranging from 0 (no genital psoriasis symptoms) to 80 (worst imaginable genital psoriasis symptoms).
Change From Baseline in Pain, Itch, and Discomfort on Numerical Rating Scales (NRS) for the Genital Region
Genital region is defined as the labia majora (outer lip), labia minora (inner lip), and perineum (area between vagina and anus) for females; penis, scrotum, and perineum (area between the penis and anus) for males. NRS is the simplest and most commonly used scales to indicate the degree of pain, itch, and discomfort. The numerical scale is most commonly 0 to 10, with 0 being "no pain or Itch or discomfort" and 10 being "the worst imaginable pain or Itch or discomfort".
Change From Baseline in the Dermatological Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score
DLQI is a questionnaire which is to evaluate the impact on participant's quality of life due to psoriasis. It is composed of ten items related to symptoms, feelings, daily activities, leisure, working or studying activities, personal relationships and opinions about dermatological treatment. Each item is scored from 0 (not affected at all) to 3 (very much affected). The DLQI score is the sum of the 10 individual question scores and ranges from 0 to 30, with lower scores indicating better quality of life. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.
Change From Baseline in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) Score
The TSQM-9 is a psychometrically robust and validated instrument to assess participants satisfaction with the treatment they are receiving. It is a self-administered questionnaire that measures participants drug therapy satisfaction considering the last two or three weeks or since the last time the participant took the medication. It consists of 9 items distributed in 3 domains: effectiveness, convenience, and global satisfaction, with scores at each domain ranging from 0 to 100. with higher score indicating higher treatment satisfaction.
