The PASI score measures the severity and extent of psoriasis. Using a scale of 0=none to 4= very severe, each body region (head, trunk, arms, and legs) is rated for redness, thickness, and scaling of the largest psoriatic area in that region producing a Lesion Score. The percentage of the area affected by disease is then estimated, ranging from 0 = no lesions to 6 = 90-100% of the region is covered providing an Area Score. Then, the Lesion Score and Area Score for each region are multiplied, producing 4 subtotals. The 4 region subtotals are multiplied by a standardized percentage of body surface area for that region (head = 0.1, trunk = 0.3, arms=0.2, and legs = 0.4); these four region calculations are added to provide the final PASI score, ranging from 0 = no disease to 72 = maximal disease). PASI 75 response was defined as >=75% improvement in PASI score when compared to the baseline score.

The Full Analysis Set (FAS), all randomized participants who received >=1 dose of study drug and had a baseline and >=1 post-treatment efficacy measurement. The last non-missing post-baseline PASI score was carried forward (LOCF) unless the participant discontinued drug due to lack of efficacy, loss of response, or use of prohibited medications.

The PGA is used to determine the overall severity of a subject's psoriasis lesions at a given time point. Overall lesions will be graded for induration, erythema, and scaling on a scale from 0 to 5. The sum of the 3 scales will be divided by 3 to obtain the PGA score. PGA is assessed as: 0= Cleared, except for residual discoloration. 1= Minimal, majority of lesions have individual scores that average . 2 =Mild, majority of lesions have individual scores that average 2. 3= Modreate, majority of lesions have individual scores that average 3. 4= Marked, majority of lesions have individual scores that average 4. 5= Severe, majority of lesions have individual scores that average 5.

The DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire that measures how much participant skin problems have affected their life. Responses range from 0=Not at all to 3=Very much. The DLQI is broken down into 6 subscales: Symptoms and feelings (range 0-6), Daily activities (range 0-6), Leisure (range 0-6), Work and school (range 0-3), Personal relationships (range 0-6), and Treatment (range 0-3). DLQI subscales were summed to yield the DLQI total score, which could range from 0 to 30. For both DLQI subscales and DLQI total score, a higher score indicated a greater negative impact on life.
