PASI75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction in PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) score compared with the Baseline PASI score. PASI scores range from 0.0 (best) to 72.0 (worst), with the highest score representing complete erythroderma of the severest degree. The percent decrease in score is calculated as (Week 0 PASI score minus Week 16 PASI score) divided by Week 0 PASI score. Positive percent decreases indicate improvement, with best improvement being 100%. The outcome measure is the percentage of participants who had at least a 75% PASI score decrease.
