Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Proportion of Participants Achieving 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).
Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of of Special Interest (TEAESIs)
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs), and treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest (TEASIs), and clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs, clinical laboratory parameters and electrocardiograms
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 16
The Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) documents the Investigator's assessment of the participant's psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
Proportion of Participants Achieving 90% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).
Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA=0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 16
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).
Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of Special Interest (TEAESIs)
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs), and treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest (TEASIs), and clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs, clinical laboratory parameters and electrocardiograms
