Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Improvement From BaselineBaseline to Week 12 / end of treatmentThe proportions of subjects with the primary measure of success at week 12 /end of study ,defined as a 2-grade improvement in the IGA (Investigator Global Assessment) relative to Baseline. The Investigator Global Assessment grades are: Grade 0 (Clear), Grade 1 (Almost Clear), Grade 2 (Mild), Grade 3 (Moderate) and Grade 4 (Severe).
Change in Inflammatory Lesion Counts From BaselineBaseline to Week 12 / end of treatmentThe LS mean changes from Baseline in inflammatory lesion count at Week 12.
