Trial outcomes

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).

Time frame
Week 16

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 16

The Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) documents the Investigator's assessment of the participant's psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).

Time frame
Week 16
2

Proportion of Participants Achieving 90% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16

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).

Time frame
Week 16

4

Proportion of Participants Maintaining 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 100

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).

Time frame
