Study summary

To collect information on the safety and effectiveness of Infliximab BS for Intravenous Drip Infusion 100 mg "Pfizer" against psoriasis vulgaris, psoriasis arthropathica, pustular psoriasis, or erythrodermic psoriasis under actual status of use.

Read the detailed description

This study will be conducted with all-case investigation system in patients with psoriasis vulgaris, psoriasis arthropathica, pustular psoriasis, or erythrodermic psoriasis.

This study will be conducted in patients who used this drug after the day of approval of dosage and administration for psoriasis at contracted medical institutions. Patients who used this drug before conclusion of the contract with the medical institution will also be included in this study (retrospective patients will be included).

Therefore, Time Perspective is retrospective and prospective.

Groups and cohorts

  • Infliximab [infliximab biosimilar 3]

    Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris, Psoriasis Arthropathica, Pustular Psoriasis, or Erythrodermic Psoriasis treated by Infliximab BS

    Drug: Infliximab [infliximab biosimilar 3]

Interventions

  • DrugInfliximab [infliximab biosimilar 3]

    \<Psoriasis\> The usual dose is 5 mg as Infliximab (Genetical Recombination) \[Infliximab Biosimilar 3\] for every kg of body weight given as an intravenous infusion. After an initial dose is given, the subsequent doses are given at Weeks 2 and 6, and every 8 weeks thereafter. After a dose at Week 6 is given, the dose may be increased or the dosing interval may be reduced for patients who have an incomplete response or reduced effects. These adjustments should be made in a stepwise manner according to condition of patients. The maximum dose is 10 mg for every kg of body weight at the dosing interval of 8 weeks and 6 mg for every kg of body weight at a reduced dosing interval. The minimum dosing interval is 4 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions

    An adverse drug reaction (ADR) was a treatment-related adverse event, and any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Infliximab BS for I.V. Infusion 100mg \[Pfizer\] \[Infliximab Biosimilar 3\] in a participant who received this drug. A serious ADR was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Relatedness to Infliximab BS for I.V. Infusion 100mg \[Pfizer\] \[Infliximab Biosimilar 3\] was assessed by the physician.

    Time frame: 30 weeks from the day of initial dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI75) Response

    Percentage of participants with a PASI75 response was presented along with the two-sided 95% confidence interval (exact method). The PASI quantifies the severity of lesions and the percentage of lesion area. It is the total score of the degree of erythema, infiltration/thickening, and scaling (evaluated for each skin finding) in each of the 4 body regions evaluated by the physician. The score was adjusted for the percentage of lesion area of skin rash in each body region and the percentage of the area of each body region to the whole body. The percent change (%) in PASI score from baseline to the study completion date was calculated for each participant, and the number and proportion of participants with ≥ 75% improvement were calculated as PASI75.

    Time frame: 30 weeks from the day of initial dose

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90 (PASI90) Response

    Percentage of participants with a PASI90 response was presented along with the two-sided 95% confidence interval (exact method). The PASI quantifies the severity of lesions and the percentage of lesion area. It is the total score of the degree of erythema, infiltration/thickening, and scaling (evaluated for each skin finding) in each of the 4 body regions evaluated by the physician. The score was adjusted for the percentage of lesion area of skin rash in each body region and the percentage of the area of each body region to the whole body. The percent change (%) in PASI score from baseline to the study completion date was calculated for each participant, and the number and proportion of participants with ≥ 90% improvement were calculated as PASI90.

    Time frame: 30 weeks from the day of initial dose

  3. Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area Involvement (BSA)

    Summary statistics of the BSA at baseline, at study completion date, and the change in BSA from baseline to study completion date was presented. BSA was calculated from the percentage of skin rash to body surface area from baseline to study completion date, and change in severity of disease was evaluated.

    Time frame: 30 weeks from the day of initial dose
