Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of participants achieving psoriasis areaand severity index 50 (PASI50) at 12 weeks after treatment.;Psoriasis areaand severity index 50 (PASI50) refers to a reduction of =50% in Psoriasis Areaand Severity Index scores compared to baseline after treatment. Evaluate the differences in the proportion of subjects achieving PASI50 among the three groups at 12 weeks after treatment.;

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
