Study summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate if VTX958 is safe and effective in adult participants with active Psoriatic Arthritis. Approximately 195 eligible participants will take VTX958 Dose A, VTX958 Dose B, or matching placebo (no active drug) for 16 weeks and then move on to a 36 week Long Term Extension (LTE). The study will include 16 weeks of treatment, 36 weeks of LTE, and a 30-day follow-up period.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of VTX958 tablets, Dose A and Dose B, in adults with active Psoriatic Arthritis. Approximately 195 participants will be assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of three groups, VTX958 Dose A, VTX958 Dose B, or placebo, for 16 weeks and then move on to a 36 week Long Term Extension (LTE). The study consists of a 30-day screening period, a 16 week double-blind treatment period, 36 weeks of LTE, and a 30 day follow-up period.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants achieving 20% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR20) at Week 16

    Number of participants reaching ACR20 at week 16, compared to the total number of participants in each cohort

    Time frame: Week 16

  2. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) from week 0 through week 16

    The number and proportion of participants who have at least 1 TEAE after exposure to the study drug

    Time frame: Week 16

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) scores at Week 16

    HAQ-DI assesses functional ability. It is a 20 question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty with accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities of daily living). Responses in each functional area are scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (inability to perform a task in that area). The overall HAQ-DI score is the mean of the 8 functional area scores and ranges from 0 to 3. Lower scores are indicative of improved functional ability.

    Time frame: Week 16

  2. Proportion of participants achieving 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI75) score at Week 16, in participants with at least 3% body surface area (BSA) involvement at baseline

    PASI is used to assess the severity of psoriasis and response to therapy. Each body region is evaluated separately for body surface area percentage of involvement and translated to numeric score ranging from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90 to 100% involvement) and for erythema, induration, and scaling, each is rated on scale of 0 to 4 (from none to maximum severity). PASI numeric scores range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (maximal disease). Higher scores indicate more severe disease.

    Time frame: Week 16

  3. Change from baseline in Short Form Health Survey - 36 items (SF-36) physical component score (PCS) at Week 16

    SF-36 is a 36-item, patient-reported measure of health status and quality of life, which includes 8 domains (physical functioning, physical role functioning, bodily pain, general health perception, vitality, social functioning, emotional role functioning, and mental health). Each of the 8 domains contribute in different proportions to the physical component summary (PCS) score and the mental component summary (MCS) score, which are normalized to general US population norms and range from 0 to 100 (where higher scores correspond to a better quality of life).

    Time frame: Week 16

  4. Proportion of participants achieving 50% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR50) at Week 16

    Number of participants reaching ACR50 at week 16, compared to the total number of participants in each cohort

    Time frame: Week 16

  5. Proportion of participants achieving 70% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR70) at Week 16

    Number of participants reaching ACR70 at week 16, compared to the total number of participants in each cohort

    Time frame: Week 16
