Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Facial Lesion Count
Post 12 weeks treatment
Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI)75 Success at Visit 6
Week 12 (Visit 6)

PASI75 success at Visit 6 was defined as number of participants who achieved at least 75% reduction in PASI scores at Visit 6 compared to Visit 2 (Baseline). The PASI score was determined through evaluation of body surface area (BSA) covered by plaque psoriasis in four regions (head/neck, upper extremities, trunk and lower extremities). This assessment included a combination of both degree of involvement (assessed as per the % of affected body area using a 7-point scale that ranged as 0 (0% involvement), 1 = 1-9%, 2 = 10-29%, 3 = 30-49%, 4 = 50-69%, 5 = 70-89% and 6 = 90-100%) and severity (evaluated individually using a 5-point scale that ranged as 0 = No evidence of sign, 1 = slight evidence of sign, 2 = moderate evidence of sign, 3 = marked evidence of sign and 4 = very marked, most severe evidence of sign) of erythema, induration and desquamation in each of the same four regions. PASI score ranged from 0 to 72 in 0.1-unit intervals; higher scores indicating worse psoriasis.
