Study Summary

The primary objective is to provide dose-ranging data for 4 dose regimens of BI 655130 compared to placebo on the primary endpoint of percentage change from baseline in PPP ASI at Week 16. The target dose(s) will be estimated from the model by incorporating information on the minimum clinically relevant effect and accounting for safety. Supportive dose-ranging assessments will also be done on pre-specified secondary endpoints.

Primary Outcome

The percentage change in PPP ASI at Week 16 from baseline. The PPP ASI is a tool that provides a numeric scoring for patients overall PPP disease state, ranging from 0 (best) to 72 (worst). It is a linear combination of the percent of surface area of skin that is affected on the palms and soles of the body and the severity of erythema, pustules, and scaling (desquamation): The percent change from baseline is calculated as (PPP ASI current - PPP ASI baseline) / PPP ASI baseline \* 100%.
