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
