About this trial

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study of 1516 patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of vunakizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Approximately 50-100 clinical trial centers are planned to participate in the study. The study consisted of a 7-day screening period, a 52-week treatment period and an 8-week safety follow-up period.

The recommended dose of vunakizumab is 240 mg (120 mg in two injections), with subcutaneous injection at week 0, 2, and 4, followed by a dose every 4 weeks and a final injection at week 48 (the actual treatment regimen is based on the clinician's recommendation). After the corresponding assessment at 52 weeks, an 8-week safety follow-up period was entered until the end of the study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The overall clinical clearance rate of skin lesions

1. The proportion of subjects who achieved at least a 90% improvement from baseline in PASI scores by week 12 (PASI 90). (PASI: Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, 0 ≤ PASI ≤ 72, where a higher score indicates a greater extent of the disease and more severe skin lesion severity.) 2. Proportion of subjects achieving sPGA 0/1 response at week 12. (sPGA 0/1 response is defined as an sPGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear))

Time frame
Three months

Secondary outcomes

1

The overall clinical clearance rate of skin lesions

Proportion of subjects with PASI 75, PASI 90, PASI 100, sPGA 0/1, and sPGA 0 at week 4, 12, and 52.
