Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Plaque Psoriasis Treated with Certolizumab Pegol: Three-Year Results from Two Randomised Phase 3 Studies (CIMPASI-1 and CIMPASI-2).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Certolizumab pegol (CZP) is an Fc-free, PEGylated, anti-tumour necrosis factor biologic. Safety and efficacy data for CZP over 3 years have been previously reported. We report 3-year quality of life (QoL) outcomes for patients treated with CZP, pooled from two phase 3 trials.

Methods

Adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for ≥ 6 months were initially randomised 1:2:2 to double-blinded placebo every 2 weeks (Q2W), CZP 200 mg Q2W (loading dose of CZP 400 mg at weeks 0/2/4) or CZP 400 mg Q2W. All patients received open-label CZP (200 mg or 400 mg Q2W) from week 48. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), EuroQol 5-Dimensions 3-Level (EQ-5D-3L) and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) scores are reported as obs
