What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Score (PASI) 100 Response at Week 26	PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 100 responders were defined as participants achieving 100% improvement at Week 26.	Week 26

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Static Physicians Global Assessment (sPGA) Score 0/1	The sPGA scale (0 [clear] to 4 [severe]) will be completed by the investigator or qualified designee and is designed to evaluate the assessor's global assessment of the participant's psoriasis. 0 (clear) = No signs of psoriasis; postinflammatory hyperpigmentation may be present, 1 (almost clear) = No thickening; normal to pink coloration; no to minimal focal scaling, 2 (mild) = Just detectable to mild thickening; pink to light red coloration; predominantly fine scaling, 3 (moderate) = Clearly distinguishable to moderate thickening; dull to bright red, moderate scaling, 4 (severe) = Severe thickening with hard edges; bright to deep dark red coloration; severe/coarse scaling covering almost all or all lesions.	Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Change From Baseline in Mean sPGA * Body Surface Area (BSA) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26	The area of body surface affected by psoriasis will be estimated by the investigator as a percentage of the participant's total BSA wherein the area of the participant's palm will be considered as 1% of total BSA. sPGA of disease severity is measured by the investigator on a 6-point scale wherein 0=Clear, 1=Almost Clear, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe, 5=Very Severe. The product of these values offers a more specific assessment of the severity of psoriasis. This product can yield a result between 0 (no disease) and 500 (most severe disease).	Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 75 and PASI 90	PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 75 responders were defined as participants achieving ≥75% improvement at specified timepoints. PASI 90 responders were defined as participants achieving ≥90% improvement at specified timepoints.	Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 100 at Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 16	PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 100 responders were defined as participants achieving 100% improvement at specified timepoints.	Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 16
Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Symptoms Inventory (PSI) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26	The PSI is a psoriasis-specific patient-reported outcome that measures the severity of psoriasis signs and symptoms based on an 8-item scale. The severity of itch, redness, scaling, burning, stinging, cracking, flaking, and pain over the last 24 hours is assessed on a scale of 0 to 4 (not at all, mild, moderate, severe, or very severe) for a total score of 32, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.	Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26	The DLQI is a 10-item general dermatology disability index designed to assess health-related quality of life in adult participants with skin conditions. The measure is self-administered and includes domains of daily activities, leisure, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, treatment, and work/school. Each item has four response categories, ranging from 0 (not at all or not relevant) to 3 (very much) assessing the impact of the disease over the last week. The DLQI total score is a sum of the 10 questions. Scores range from 0 to 30 and higher scores indicate greater health-related quality-of-life impairment.	Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26	The HADS is a self-reported questionnaire that assesses anxiety and depression. The scale includes two subscales, specifically depression and anxiety. Each subscale has 7 items, for a total of 14 items with a total score ranging from 0 to 21 for each scale. Participants report the relative frequency of symptoms over the past week using a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3. Higher scores indicate a greater likelihood of depression or anxiety.	Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Change From Baseline in EuroQoL-5 Dimensional (EQ-5D) With Psoriasis Bolt-on (EQ-PSO) Score at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26	The EQ-PSO is a psoriasis-specific adaptation of the EQ-5D, a standardized measure of health status that can be used to provide a simple, generic measure of health outcome. The EQ-5D comprises of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, each of which is assessed by the respondent according to 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems.). The EQ-PSO includes two additional, psoriasis-specific dimensions: skin irritation and self-confidence.	Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 16, and 26
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)		Baseline (Week 0) up to end of treatment (Week 26)
Time to Onset of Action		Baseline up to Week 26
Number of Participants Adhering to the Treatment		Baseline up to Week 26
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100 at Week 16 and 26 According to the Last Biologic Agent That the Participant was Receiving Before Initiating Treatment With Brodalumab	PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 75 responders were defined as participants achieving ≥75% improvement at specified timepoints. PASI 90 responders were defined as participants achieving ≥90% improvement at specified timepoints. PASI 100 responders were defined as participants achieving 100% improvement at specified timepoints.	Week 16 and 26
