Static PGA was assessed by two dermatologists on the basis of these pictures at a single point in time. The mean of the two readings from the dermatologists was used. Static PGA score ranged from 0 (no psoriasis) to 5 (extreme psoriasis). The higher the number, the more severe the psoriasis was.
Dynamic Photographic PGA Score as Assessed by Two DermatologistsWeek 0 (Visit 1), Week 14 (Visit 4), Week 30 (Visit 6)The dynamic PGA score resulted from the comparison of two sets of pictures/visits. The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period (comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 14 (Visit 4) visits and comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits. Dynamic PGA was assessed by two dermatologists and the mean of the two readings was used. Clinical improvement was measured with a 10 centimeter (cm)-visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions).

Dynamic Photographic PGA Score as Assessed by Two Dermatologists

The dynamic PGA score resulted from the comparison of two sets of pictures/visits. The dynamic PGA was scored twice, at the middle and at the end of the observation period (comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 14 (Visit 4) visits and comparison between picture sets of Week 0 (Visit 1) and Week 30 (Visit 6) visits. Dynamic PGA was assessed by two dermatologists and the mean of the two readings was used. Clinical improvement was measured with a 10 centimeter (cm)-visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (no improvement) to 10 (disappearance of lesions).
