時間枠 |
---|---|---|
Change in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI-75)
時間枠:Baseline, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
|
The Psoriasis Area Severity Index measures severity of psoriasis on a 0-6 scale for head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities and amount of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation for each area.
An overall score of 0-72 for the whole body is calculated from the observed severity values.
Outcomes will be reported in terms of PASI 75, or number of participants showing at least 75% reduction in PASI score from baseline.
Only final PASI 75 will be reported.

時間枠:12 months
|
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) is rated on a scale of 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe).
The outcome measure to be reported is the number of patients who reached a final IGA of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).
