HRQoL results as reported in randomized clinical trials assessing nail psoriasis-specific HRQoL

Reference Instrument Results
Elewski et al. 2018 [27] NPQ10

Adalimumab (n = 109), mean values: baseline: 5.1; week 16: 0.4; week 26: 0.6

Placebo (n = 107), mean values: baseline: 5.4; week 16: 3.1; week 26: 3.3

Significant difference between adalimumab and placebo (p < 0.001)

Elewski et al. 2019 [28] NPQ10 Adalimumab, continuing from blinded period (until week 26) to open-label period (n = 94), mean values: baseline: 4.9; week 26: improvement from baseline by 3.4 (as observed); week 52: improvement from baseline by 4.2 (as observed)
NAPPA-QOL Adalimumab, continuing from blinded period (until week 26) to open-label period (n = 94): baseline: 3.1; week 26: mean improvement from baseline by 1.3 (as observed); week 52: mean improvement from baseline by 1.6 (as observed)
Reich et al. 2019 [26] NAPPA-QOL

Secukinumab 300 mg (n = 66): week 16: 59.3% median percentage improvement from baseline (no baseline values reported)
