Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI 75) at Week 16

    Time frame: Week 16

    PASI correlates to the physician's assessment of psoriasis symptoms including redness of lesions, thickness of lesions, scaliness of lesions and extent of disease. Each parameter is graded from 0-4, 0 refers to no disease and 4 to severe involvement. The body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk to groin, legs to top of buttocks), and the final score ranges from 0-72 with higher scores reflecting more disease severity. The PASI-75 response is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% improvement in PASI score from Baseline.
