Improvement of psoriasis by physicians' judgment
All adverse events occurring the trial will be recorded
Evaluate the efficacy of oral CF101 2 mg or 3 mg twice daily (BID) in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, compared with placebo, as determined by the proportion of subjects who achieve a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score response of ≥75% (PASI 75) at Week 16 (superiority)
Nature, incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events
Complete clearing of corneal staining by fluorescein staining (FS). The primary efficacy analysis was performed for 1eye (target eye), defined as the eye with the larger corneal FS value at Baseline. If both eyes had the same corneal FS value at baseline, the target eye was considered the eye with the larger central corneal staining value at Baseline. Corneal FS defined as a corneal punctate fluorescein staining score of ≥4 in either eye by the National Eye Institute evaluation scale summed over 5 areas each with a 0-3 scoring scale
Determine the safety of oral CF 101 in this subject population. Adverse Events (AEs) and changes in vital signs, physical examination, clinical laboratory tests (liver, kidney, hematology, chemistry and urinalysis), electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, slit lamp and ophthalmic examination, visual acuity, and intraocular pressure measurements.
Achievement of PASI 75 indicates a 75% reduction in the PASI score, which ranges from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease)
The primary end-point is to assess whether treatment for 6 months with piclidenoson improves the functioning of renal proximal tubular cells (PTCs), as assessed by the increase in 99mTc-DMSA uptake as compared to Baseline
Proportion of subjects alive and free of respiratory failure (defined as need for non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation, high-flow oxygen, or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) at Day 29
Proportion of subjects alive and discharged to home without need for supplemental oxygen at Day 29
Proportion of patients experiencing AEs
The mean of the IOP measurements obtained at week 16
ACR20 Response is defined as a 20% improvement from baseline in disease: 1. \>20% improvement in tender joint count (TJC), and 2. \>20% improvement in swollen joint count (SJC), and 3. \>20% improvement in at least 3 of following 5: 1. Physician global assessment (PGA), 2. Patient global assessment (PAGA), 3. Patient pain assessment (PPA), 4. Patient's assessment of physical function using Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and 5. Most improved response of ESR and CRP
Number of patients that achieved 20% response at week 12 in American College of Rheumatology Criteria
PASI scale is sum of redness, thickness, and scale scores, ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (most severe possible score); lower scores, i..e., negative change from baseline, indicate improvement
Involved placing a standardized paper tear strip inside the lower eyelid for 5 minutes. The tear strip was then removed and the length of the strip that was wet from tears was measured in millimeters. Change from baseline is calculated. Scores range 0-35 mm, with higher scores indicating more (better) tear production.
Time elapsed between a complete blink and the development of the first random dry spot on the tear film as seen under fluorescent light. Change from baseline is calculated. Scores range 0-30 seconds, with higher scores indicating better tear composition and function.
Severity of corneal epithelial loss as graded by Fluorescein Staining of the cornea, assessed on a 0-4+ scale with 0 = none and 4+ = severe de-epithelialization (in other words, higher scores indicate worse disease), expressed as number of participants with \>25% improvement at Week 12 relative to baseline.
ACR 20 response (20% improvnent in RA based on swollen and tender joint counts, physician and patient global assessments of disease activity, a patient pain score) at endpoint (Week 12), with all-cause dropouts considered as nonresponders (nonresponder imputation) in the Intent-To-Treat (ITT) population
