1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90 (PASI90) Response at Week 16
Hide Description The PASI90 response assessments are based on at least 90% improvement in PASI score from Baseline. Body divided into 4 areas: head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks. Assignment of an average score for redness, thickness, and scaling for each of the 4 body areas with a score of 0 (clear) to 4 (very marked). Determining the percentage of skin covered with PSO for each of the body areas and converting to a 0 to 6 scale. Final PASI= average redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic skin lesions, multiplied by the involved psoriasis area score of respective section, and weighted by the percentage of the person's affected skin for respective section. The minimum possible PASI score is 0= no disease, the maximum score is 72= maximal disease.

Hide Description PASI90 response assessments are based on at least 90% improvement in the PASI score from Baseline. Body divided into 4 areas: head/arms/trunk to groin/and legs to top of buttocks. Assignment of an average score for the redness/thickness/scaling for each of the 4 body areas with a score of 0 (clear)-4 (very marked). Determining the percentage of skin covered with PSO for each of the body areas and converting to a 0-6 scale. Final PASI=average redness/thickness/scaliness of the psoriatic skin lesions multiplied by the involved psoriasis area score of the respective section and weighted by the percentage of the person's affected skin for the respective section.
