Study to Assess the Change in Disease State When Subcutaneous Risankizumab Injection is Given to Adult Participants With Psoriasis in Taiwan

Taiwan240 participantsStarted 2021-05-31

Plain-language summary

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic, disease characterized by marked inflammation of the skin that results in thick, red, scaly plaques and is associated with high burden of illness that results in a negative impact on long-term health outcomes including quality of life (QoL). The main objective of this study is to characterize the durability of response of risankizumab compared to other biologics measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 response in adult participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are either new or have used a biological treatment in the past. Risankizumab is a drug approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Participants who are prescribed risankizumab or other comparator drugs in the real world setting are enrolled in this study. Data from a total of approximately 240 participants; 160 using risankizumab and 80 using other biologics will be evaluated across Taiwan. Participants will receive subcutaneous risankizumab injection or or other biologic as prescribed by their physician. Data from these participants will be collected for approximately 2 years. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and by questionnaire.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
