Brief Summary:

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of the efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in pediatric subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

At least 230 pediatric subjects (ages 6 through 17 years) will be randomized 2:1 to receive either apremilast or placebo for the first 16 weeks and then all subjects will receive apremilast during the 36 week Extension Phase for a total of 52 weeks. Randomization to apremilast arm or placebo arm will be stratified by age group (6 to 11 years or 12 to 17 years). Subjects will receive apremilast treatment of either 20 mg twice daily (BID) or 30 mg BID, depending on weight. This Phase 3 study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of apremilast in the treatment of pediatric subjects.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Response at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 16 ]
    The sPGA is the assessment by the Investigator of the overall disease severity of plaque psoriasis at the time of evaluation. The sPGA is a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), incorporating an assessment of the severity of the three primary signs of the disease: erythema, scaling and plaque elevation. The results presented are for the percentage of participants with a sPGA response. An sPGA response was defined as a score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved At Least 75% Reduction in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI-75) From Baseline at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 16 ]
    The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) is a measure of psoriatic disease severity taking into account qualitative lesion characteristics (erythema, thickness, and scaling) and degree of skin surface area involvement on defined anatomical regions. The PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The results presented are for the percentage of participants with PASI-75. PASI-75 was defined as at least a 75% reduction in PASI score from baseline.

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved At Least 50% Reduction in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI-50) From Baseline at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 16 ]
    The PASI is a measure of psoriatic disease severity taking into account qualitative lesion characteristics (erythema, thickness, and scaling) and degree of skin surface area involvement on defined anatomical regions. The PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. The results presented are for the percentage of participants with PASI-50. PASI-50 was defined as at least a 50% reduction in PASI score from baseline.

  3. Percentage Change From Baseline in Total PASI Score at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 16 ]
    The PASI is a measure of psoriatic disease severity taking into account qualitative lesion characteristics (erythema, thickness, and scaling) and degree of skin surface area involvement on defined anatomical regions. The PASI scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting greater disease severity. Positive percentage change from baseline scores indicate a worsening of disease severity, and negative percentage change from baseline scores indicate an improvement in disease severity.

  4. Percentage Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected by Psoriasis at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 16 ]
    BSA is a measurement of involved skin of the whole body affected by psoriasis, which ranges from 0% to 100%. Positive percentage change from baseline indicates that a greater BSA was affected by psoriasis. A negative percentage change from baseline indicates that a lesser BSA was affected by psoriasis.

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]
    The CDLQI is designed to measure the impact of skin disease on children's quality of life. The CDLQI measures how much the participant's psoriasis has affected them over the last week, and includes 10 questions with possible answers ranging from not at all (score of 0) to very much (score of 3). The CDLQI total score ranged from 0 (no effect on the participant's life) to 30 (extremely large effect on the participant's life). The results presented are for the percentage of participants who achieved a total CDLQI score of 0 or 1 at Week 16.

  6. Change From Baseline in CDLQI Score at Week 16 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 16 ]
    The CDLQI is designed to measure the impact of skin disease on children's quality of life. The CDLQI measures how much the participant's psoriasis has affected them over the last week, and includes 10 questions with possible answers ranging from not at all (score of 0) to very much (score of 3). The CDLQI total score ranged from 0 (no effect on the participant's life) to 30 (extremely large effect on the participant's life). A positive change from baseline score indicates that a participant's quality of life has worsened. A negative change from baseline score indicates that a participant's quality of life has improved.

  7. Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Placebo-controlled Phase [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]

  10. Number of Participants Who Experienced a TESAE During the Apremilast Exposure Period [ Time Frame: 52 weeks ]
    A TESAE is any AE occurring at any dose after first dose that results in death, is life-threatening (ie, in the opinion of the Investigator, the participant is at immediate risk of death from the AE), requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization (hospitalization is defined as an inpatient admission, regardless of length of stay), results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (a substantial disruption of the participant's ability to conduct normal life functions), is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or constitutes an important medical event.

  11. Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-related Adverse Event (TRAE) During the Placebo-controlled Phase [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
