What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Static Photographic Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Score as Assessed by Two Dermatologists
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
Digital pictures of each participant's whole body were taken at each visit. Static PGA was assessed by two dermatologists on the basis of these pictures at a single point in time. The mean of the two readings from the dermatologists was used. Static PGA score ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (extreme psoriasis). The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis was.
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
Dynamic Photographic PGA Score as Assessed by Two Dermatologists
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)
The dynamic PGA score resulted from the comparison of two sets of pictures/visits. The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period (comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 14 (Visit 4) visits and comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits. Dynamic PGA was assessed by two dermatologists and the mean of the two readings was used. Clinical improvement was measured with a 10 centimeter (cm)-visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions).
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Static PGA Score as Assessed by the Investigator
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
Static PGA was assessed at each visit by the investigator. Static PGA score ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (extreme psoriasis). The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis was.
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
Dynamic PGA Score as Assessed by the Investigator
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)
The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period. Clinical improvement from Baseline (Visit 1) was evaluated with a 10 cm-VAS ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions) at the Week 14 (Visit 4) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits.
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)
Percent Body Surface Area (BSA) Involved With Psoriasis
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5),Week 30 (Visit 6)
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5),Week 30 (Visit 6)
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
PASI ranged from 0 (no symptoms) to 72 (very marked symptoms) and assessed 3 clinical signs within each area (head, arms, trunk, and legs): erythema (redness), induration (thickness), and desquamation (scaling).
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) Score
Time Frame: Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
The nail was divided with imaginary horizontal and longitudinal lines into quadrants. Each nail was given a score for nail bed psoriasis (0-4) and nail matrix psoriasis (0-4) depending on the presence of any of the features of nail psoriasis in that quadrant. Each nail was evaluated, and the sum of all the nails was the total NAPSI score. The sum of the scores from all nails ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 80 (psoriasis present in all 4 quadrants of all 10 nails).
Week 0 (Visit 1), Week 2 (Visit 2), Week 6 (Visit 3), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 22 (Visit 5), Week 30 (Visit 6)
