| NCT02634801 | A Study of Ixekizumab (LY2439821) in Participants With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis Naive to Systemic Treatment | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 162 | — | — | Jan 20, 2016 | Nov 14, 2017 | Oct 9, 2019 | 21 | Germany |
The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored separately and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region \* area score \* weighing factor \[head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs (0.4)\]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).
