Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Proportion of Participants Achieving 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).
Week 16
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 16
Week 16
Proportion of Participants Achieving 90% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16
Week 16
Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA = 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 16
Week 16
Proportion of Participants Maintaining 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 52
Week 52
Proportion of Participants Maintaining an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 52
