Abstract

Background

Many patients with psoriasis are bothered by symptoms in highly visible, pruritic areas, such as the scalp.

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of apremilast for moderate to severe scalp psoriasis.

Methods

This phase 3b, double-blind, placebo-controlled study randomized adults with moderate to severe scalp psoriasis who had inadequate response/intolerance to at least 1 topical scalp psoriasis therapy (NCT03123471). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients who achieved Scalp Physician Global Assessment response, defined as score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear), with at least a 2-point reduction, at week 16. Secondary endpoints included at least a 4-point improvement from baseline in Whole Body Itch and Scalp Itch Numeric Rating Scales (NRSs) and mean improvement in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) at week 16.

Results

There were 303 randomized patients (placebo: n = 102; apremilast: n = 201). With apremilast, significantly more patients achieved Scalp Physician Global Assessment (43.3% vs 13.7%), Scalp Itch NRS (47.1% vs 21.1%), and Whole Body Itch NRS (45.5% vs 22.5%) response, and significantly greater DLQI improvement was observed versus placebo (-6.7 vs -3.8; all P < .0001). Common adverse events with apremilast were diarrhea (30.5%), nausea (21.5%), headache (12.0%), and vomiting (5.5%).

Limitations

Patients with mild disease were not enrolled.

Conclusion

Apremilast showed efficacy for the treatment of moderate to severe scalp psoriasis.
