Primary outcomes

  1. Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants with adverse events

    Time frame: Up to approximately 12 months

  2. General Improvement Rating

    General Improvement Rating will be assessed by physician's observation

    Time frame: Approximately 1 year from administration

  3. General health assessment on VAS

    Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain will be used for psoriatic arthritis patients' assessment.

    Time frame: Approximately 1 year from administration

  4. Changes in physician general assessment

    PGA: assessment for psoriatic vulgaris by physician to classify disease activity in a consistent manner

    Time frame: Approximately 1 year from administration

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request

Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan, Informed consent form, Clinical study report

Time frame: Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.

Access criteria: Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2017 to primary completion in Oct 2021, 49 months.

Of 81 industry-sponsored observational studies under Psoriasis, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 74. This study's 49 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 173 studies reached it within 37 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 93.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 8, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
