Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of Patients Achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) and a Decrease of at Least 2 Points in IGA at Week 8.
The IGA is a global assessment of the current state of the disease. It is a 6-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity and will be determined according to the following definitions: 0 (clear), 1 (almost clear), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe) and 5 (very severe). The scale uses clinical characteristics of erythema, infiltration, papulation and oozing/crusting as scoring guidelines for the overall severity assessment. A decrease in IGA indicates a positive outcome for the participant.
