Background and study aims
Plaque psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory condition, affecting about 3.5 million patients in the United States, European Union, and Japan. Despite advanced treatment options, large numbers of patients are not receiving these therapies. There is a need for safer options, fewer injections, and more effective oral medications. Janssen has an investigational drug called JNJ-77242113, which targets immune responses in the body and skin that impact diseases, such as psoriasis. It is hoped that targeting immune response processes may lead to less inflammation and a reduction in psoriasis disease activity.

This study is a follow-on trial of 77242113PSO2001 (https://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN76915275), which is designed to evaluate long-term efficacy and safety of the investigational drug JNJ-77242113 in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Who can participate?
Patients who have completed the week 16 weeks in the study 77242113PSO2001 and who, in the opinion of the investigator, may benefit from inclusion in this long-term extension study.

What does the study involve?
This is a long-term extension study of JNJ-77242113 in eligible participants who completed the Week 16 visit of the originating 77242113PSO2001 study. All participants will receive active JNJ-77242113 study medication. The total study duration will be up to 40 weeks which will include:
1. A 36-week treatment period
2. A 4-week safety follow-up period after the last study intervention administration

Safety will be assessed by clinical safety laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, physical examinations, and monitoring adverse events (AEs) throughout the study.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Possible benefits for patients taking JNJ-77242113 include improvements in plaque psoriasis symptoms based on current scientific theory. Only patients who may benefit from such drug treatment (i.e., with specific disease characteristics identified by study investigators) are eligible for study inclusion. Such patient participation may help other psoriasis patients in the future.

Study participants also may experience some benefits not due to receiving the study drug, but instead due to regular visits, assessments, and overall health monitoring. Long-term benefits, however, are not guaranteed to happen and there may not be any benefit to participants by being in this study.

Not all possible side effects and risks related to JNJ-77242113 are known, such that unexpected side effects may arise or be life-threatening.

A participant information sheet (which will be signed by every participant agreeing to participate in the study) includes a detailed section outlining all known risks/side effects to study participants.

To minimize any study-associated risks participants are frequently reviewed at every visit for side effects and adverse events and participants are educated to report any such problems to the study staff without delay.

Any serious adverse events that are reported to the sponsor are thoroughly reviewed by a specialist drug safety team and the sponsor has implemented an Independent Data Review Committee.

Where is the study run from?
Janssen-Cilag International NV (Belgium) is the sponsor for this study. The study will be run at multiple healthcare locations both within the UK and around the world.

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
June 2022 to November 2023

Study acronymFRONTIER 2
Study objectivesMain objectives:
1. To evaluate long-term clinical response of JNJ-77242113 treatment in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis

Secondary objectives:
1. To evaluate and assess additional long-term clinical response of JNJ-77242113 treatment in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis
2. To evaluate and assess the effect of JNJ-77242113 treatment on patient-reported psoriasis severity in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis
3. To evaluate and assess the safety and tolerability of JNJ-77242113 in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPlaque psoriasis
InterventionThe total duration of this study is up to 40 weeks which includes a 36-week treatment period, and a 4-week safety follow-up period. Participants will continue to receive the dose randomly assigned by the online interactive web randomisation system tool from the preceding study (77242113PSO2001).

Those participants assigned to the placebo treatment arm in the preceding study will be assigned to an active treatment arm in this study. Each active cohort group will also receive placebo to maintain blinding of dose regimens throughout the trial:
1. Group 1 will receive dose 1 of JNJ-77242113 once daily and placebo
2. Group 2 will receive dose 2 of JNJ-77242113 once daily and placebo
3. Group 3 will receive dose 3 of JNJ-77242113 once daily and placebo
4. Group 4 will receive dose 1 of JNJ-77242113 twice daily and placebo
5. Group 5 will receive dose 3 of JNJ-77242113 twice daily and placebo
6. Group 6 will receive dose 3 of JNJ-77242113 once daily and placebo

Primary outcome measurePercentage of participants achieving Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75 score (≥75% improvement in PASI from baseline of the originating study [77242113PSO2001]) at Week 36. The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas is assessed and scored separately for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 and extent of involvement on a scale of 0 to 6. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
Secondary outcome measures1. Percentage of participants achieving PASI 90 score (≥90% improvement in PASI from baseline of the originating study [77242113PSO2001]) at week 36
2. Percentage of participants achieving PASI 100 score (≥100% improvement in PASI from baseline of the originating study [77242113PSO2001]) at week 36
3. Change from baseline of the originating study (77242113PSO2001) in PASI Total Score at Week 36
4. Percentage of participants achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) determined at Week 36. The IGA documents the investigator's assessment of the participants psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
5. Change from baseline of originating study (77242113PSO2001) in Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) Symptoms Scores reported at Week 36. The PSSD includes a patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire designed to measure the severity of psoriasis symptoms and signs over the previous 7 days for the assessment of treatment benefit. The PSSD is a self-administered PRO instrument that includes 11 items covering symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning, and skin tightness) and patient-observable signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness, and bleeding) using 0 to 10 numerical rating scales for severity. Two subscores will be derived each ranging from 0 to 100: the psoriasis symptom score and the psoriasis sign score. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
6. Change from baseline of originating study (77242113PSO2001) in Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) Signs Scores reported at Week 36
7. Percentage of participants achieving PSSD Symptoms Score of 0 at Week 36 among participants with a baseline (in the originating study 77242113PSO2001) symptoms score ≥1
8. Percentage of participants achieving PSSD Signs Score of 0 at Week 36 among participants with a baseline (in the originating study 77242113PSO2001) signs score ≥1
9. Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs) monitored up to Week 40. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product.
10. Number of participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) monitored up to Week 40. SAE is an adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product or medically important.
