Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 75 Percent (%) Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-75) at Week 16

    Percentage of participants who achieved PASI-75 score (greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 75% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 was reported. The PASI was a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body was divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas were assessed and scored separately for erythema, induration, and scaling, which were each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 (0=none, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe and 4 = very severe) and extent of involvement from 0 (indicated no involvement) to 6 (90% - 100% involvement). The PASI produced a numeric total score that could range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (maximum psoriasis). Higher score indicated greater severity of psoriasis. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.
