Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Relapse Rate (Success or Failure), as Assessed by Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score
24 weeks

PASI is an index used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (best) to 72 (worst), with the highest score representing complete erythroderma of severest degree. Relapse is considered a worsening of psoriasis associated to a PASI score \>75% of PASI score recorded before starting induction therapy with CsA (before study start). Each patient was considered as failure (relapse occurrence) if rate was \>= 75%. In all the other cases the patient was considered as success (no relapse).
