Brief summary

The study is beng done to test if tofacitinib ointment is safe and effective for people with plaque psoriasis. Two dose strengths of tofacitinib ointment (20 mg/g and 10 mg/g) applied once or twice daily are being tested. The safety and effectiveness of tofacitinib ointment used for 12 weeks will be compared to the safety and effectiveness of placebo ointment (vehicle) used for 12 weeks.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Achieving a PGA-C Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 12Baseline, Week 12Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (erythema \[E\], induration \[I\], and scaling \[S\]) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. The PGA-C was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment. The PGA subscores are then summed and averaged after which the total average was rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the PGA-C score and category. A higher score indicated a higher level of severity. 0 is equal to (=) cleared except for any residual discoloration and 1=almost clear, majority of lesions had individual scores for E+I+S that when summed, averaged, and rounded equaled 1.

Percentage of Participants Achieving a PGA-C Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and ≥2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 8

Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (E, I, and S) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. The PGA-C was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment. The PGA subscores are then summed and averaged after which the total average was rounded to the nearest whole number to determine the PGA-C score and category. A higher score indicated a higher level of severity. 0 is equal to (=) cleared except for any residual discoloration and 1=almost clear, majority of lesions had individual scores for E+I+S that when summed, averaged, and rounded equaled 1.

Change From Baseline to Week 8 in the DLQI Total Score

DLQI is the dermatology-specific quality of life measure used for psoriatic population. The 10-item questionnaire assesses participant health-related quality of life (daily activities, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, leisure, work and school, and treatment). The DLQI questions are rated by the participant as 0 (not at all/not relevant) to 3 (very much) with a total score range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst); higher scores indicate poor quality of life.

Percentage of Participants Achieving a Gestalt Physician's Global Assessment (PGA-G) Response of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) and ≥2 Grade/Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 12

Clinical signs of plaque psoriasis (E, I and S) were scored separately according to a 5-point severity scale (0 to 4) to provide PGA subscores, which described the overall severity of each clinical sign. After scoring each of the PGA subscores, a clinical evaluator of psoriasis performed an assessment of the overall severity of psoriasis and assigned a PGA-G score and category. 0=Clear, except for any residual discoloration (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and/or hypopigmentation) and 1=almost clear, the psoriasis is not entirely cleared and remaining plaques are light pink (not including post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), and/or have barely palpable elevation and/or have occasional fine scale. The PGA-G was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment.

The PGA-C was a static assessment; i.e., without regard to a previous assessment.

Combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score. Body was divided into 4 regions: head, arms, trunk, legs. For each region, percent area of skin involved was estimated: 0=0% to 6=90-100%. Severity was estimated by clinical signs: erythema, induration, scaling; scale: 0=none to 4=maximum. Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each region\*area score\*weight of region (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2, body: 0.3, legs: 0.4); total possible score range: 0=no disease to 72=maximal disease.

Assessment of BSA with psoriasis was performed separately for 4 body regions: head and neck, upper limbs, trunk (including axillae and groin), and lower limbs (including buttocks). The percent surface area with psoriasis was estimated by means of the handprint method, where the full palmar hand of the participant represents approximately 1% of the total BSA. The number of handprints of psoriatic skin in a body region can be used to determine the extent (%) to which a body regions is involved with psoriasis.
