2 PsO: Review of Available Assessment Instruments and Lessons from Trial Results - Part II Steve Feldman, M.D., Ph.D Professor of Dermatology, Pathology & Public Health Sciences Wake Forest University School of Medicine

3 Part I Various ways to score psoriasis Quantitative measures of lesions –PASI –OLA –PGA (static and dynamic via a photo assisted approach) –The Ellis Lattice –NPF Psoriasis Score –Target lesion

4 Part II Other ways to assess the disease –QOL: Impact on patients’ lives –Biopsies –Photographs –Geneomic approach (DNA, mRNA, proteomics) Lessons from Trial Results

5 Quality of Life (QOL) Doesn’t directly measure the impact of drug on the disease Does measure the impact on the patient’s life Clearly the overall goal is to improve patient’s lives But the direct measure of the disease is essential for drug trials

6 QOL vs Disease Severity Some patients have lots of lesions but aren’t bothered by them Some have very few lesions and are very bothered by them QOL correlates to a degree with skin lesions, but certainly not 100%

7 Correlation of Change in DLQI and Change in PASI and PGA PASIPGA Correlation of absolute changes 0.490.46 Correlation of percent changes 0.610.58 Spearman rank correlations Data on file, Centocor, Inc.

8 QOL is Complementary Want treatments that improve the disease enough to make a difference QOL tells you if the change in the disease made a difference Treatments that improve QOL without improving the disease shouldn’t be approved for the disease –Anxiolytics or narcotics might make patients feel better without changing the character of the lesions –They could be approved for the symptom

9 QOL Measures Non-specific –SF-36 –Euro QOL –Utility Skin specific –DLQI –Skindex Psoriasis specific –PDI

10 Short Form-36 General health, health change, physical functioning, limitations due to physical health/emotional health, social functioning, pain, energy, emotional well-being Walking, climbing stairs, working Physical and mental dimensions

11 Psoriasis: Impact on Physical Health–Comparison With Other Diseases 55 47 45 44 43 42 41 35 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Healthy adults Dermatitis Cancer Depression Hypertension Arthritis Myocardial infarction Chronic lung disease Type 2 diabetes Psoriasis Congestive heart failure Rapp SR et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 1999;41:401. Physical Component Summary Score of SF-36

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1999;41:401.

13 Skindex-16 16 items rated on a scale from 1-7 –Total score of 16-102 –Higher score indicating worse QOL Symptoms –Itching, burning, pain, irritation, appearance, persistence Emotions –Worry, frustration, annoyance, depression, embarrassment Social –Being with others, interactions, activities, affection, work

14 QOL Without The Condition Patients first rate overall QOL with the facial blemish Then rate what QOL would be without the facial pigmentary disorder –8 subscales—work, family relationships, social life, sexual relationships, recreation and leisure, physical health, money matters, and emotional well-being –The difference between QOL with and without the facial pigmentary disorder (score range, 0-40)

15 Dermatology Life Quality Index Consists of 10 questions covering 6 domains –Symptoms and feelings –Daily activities –Leisure –Work and school –Personal relationships –Bother with psoriasis treatment Response options –Very much: scored 3 –A lot: scored 2 –A little: scored 1 –Not at all: scored 0 Range 0-30 Lower scores = Better QOL Finlay AY et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1994;19:210.

22 Timing of Improvement Mean PASI scores may show statistical significance early in the trial QOL measures can confirm that these changes are clinically meaningful –Whether there is improvement in QOL

28 Biopsies Lab tests are attractive because they are objective –Work great for blood levels, such as glucose, because there is uniformity within the blood –Biopsies can’t assess the severity of psoriasis because one can’t achieve representative sampling Biopsies are at best nice for assessments of mechanism

29 Photographs In theory, could be used to confirm real time assessments of severity –Not clear that thickness or even scaliness of lesions can be accurately assessed Real use is for the marketing department after the study is approved

30 Genomics Again the problem is finding a representative sample Perhaps will be useful for –Mechanistic understanding of the disease –Identifying specific subpopulations For prognostic information For guiding treatment

31 Summary Step 1 is to accurately determine the effect of drug on disease QOL measures supplement lesion measures Effective quantitative objective measures to assess overall severity (such as based on biopsy of lesions) aren’t available
