BACKGROUND: Many patients with moderate plaque psoriasis are undertreated despite broadening treatment options. In the phase IV UNVEIL study, oral apremilast demonstrated efficacy and safety in systemic-naive patients with chronic moderate plaque psoriasis with lower psoriasis-involved body surface area (BSA; 5%-10%) during the 16-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase. We describe efficacy and safety of apremilast in this population through week 52 in UNVEIL.
METHODS: Patients with moderate plaque psoriasis (BSA 5%-10%; static Physician's Global Assessment [sPGA] score of 3 [moderate]) and naive to systemic therapies for psoriasis were randomized (2:1) to receive apremilast 30 mg twice daily or placebo for 16 weeks. At week 16, patients continued on apremilast (apremilast/apremilast) or were switched from placebo to apremilast (placebo/apremilast) through week 52 (open-label apremilast treatment phase). Efficacy assessments included the product of sPGA and BSA (PGAxBSA) (mean percentage change from baseline; ≥75% reduction from baseline [PGAxBSA-75]), sPGA response (achievement of score of 0 [clear] or 1 [almost clear]), and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI; mean change from baseline).
RESULTS: A total of 136 patients completed the 52-week analysis period (placebo/apremilast, n=50/64; apremilast/apremilast, n=86/121). At week 52, improvements in all efficacy end points observed at week 16 were maintained in the apremilast/apremilast group (mean percentage change from baseline in PGAxBSA: -55.5%; PGAxBSA-75: 42.1%; sPGA response: 33.1%; mean change from baseline in DLQI score: -4.4); similar improvements emerged in the placebo/apremilast group after switching to apremilast. The most common adverse events (≥5% of patients) through week 52 were diarrhea (28.0%), nausea (19.0%), headache (15.2%), nasopharyngitis (10.4%), upper respiratory tract infection (7.1%), vomiting (5.7%), and decreased appetite (5.2%).
CONCLUSIONS: Apremilast was effective in systemic-naive patients with moderate plaque psoriasis with BSA 5%-10%; efficacy was sustained through week 52. No new safety signals emerged with continued apremilast exposure.

中度斑块状银屑病患者(BSA 5%-10%;静态医师整体评估[sPGA]评分为3[中度])且未接受过银屑病系统治疗,随机(2:1)接受阿普斯特30mg每日两次或安慰剂治疗16周。在第16周时,患者继续接受阿普斯特治疗(阿普斯特/阿普斯特组),或从安慰剂转换为阿普斯特治疗(安慰剂/阿普斯特组)直至52周(开放标签阿普斯特治疗阶段)。疗效评估包括sPGA与BSA的乘积(PGAxBSA)(相对于基线的平均百分比变化;相对于基线降低≥75%[PGAxBSA-75])、sPGA反应(达到0分[清除]或1分[几乎清除])以及皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI;相对于基线的平均变化)。
共有136例患者完成了52周的分析期(安慰剂/阿普斯特组,n = 50/64;阿普斯特/阿普斯特组,n = 86/121)。在第52周时,阿普斯特/阿普斯特组在第16周观察到的所有疗效终点均得以维持(PGAxBSA相对于基线的平均百分比变化:-55.5%;PGAxBSA-75:42.1%;sPGA反应:33.1%;DLQI评分相对于基线的平均变化:-4.4);安慰剂/阿普斯特组在转换为阿普斯特治疗后也出现了类似的改善。至52周时最常见的不良事件(≥5%的患者)为腹泻(28.0%)、恶心(19.0%)、头痛(15.2%)、鼻咽炎(10.4%)、上呼吸道感染(7.1%)、呕吐(5.7%)和食欲下降(5.2%)。
阿普斯特对中度斑块状银屑病且BSA为5%-10%、未接受过系统治疗的患者有效;疗效持续至52周。持续使用阿普斯特未出现新的安全信号。
