A study of the real-life management of psoriasis patients treated with Otezla® (apremilast) in BelgiumOTELO
Study Details
OTELO is a national (Belgium), multicentre, prospective, non-interventional, post-marketing study. The study will include a representative sample of approximately 250 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for whom the treating dermatologist has decided to begin apremilast treatment in accordance with the local label and reimbursement criteria. Patients may be enrolled into the study up to 4 weeks after commencing the study treatment.
As this study is non-interventional, drug dosing and treatment duration will be at the sole discretion of the treating dermatologist, in accordance with the local label and daily clinical practice.
