MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Patients in Each Treatment That Have Clinical Success Based on IGA at Day 28 ± 228 DaysThe number of patients in each treatment group that have clinical success. Clinical Success is at least a 2-grade improvement from the baseline IGA score. The minimum IGA value is 0, and maximum value is 5. A higher number represents a more severe case of plaque psoriasis. Patients are required to have an IGA score of 2 or 3 at baseline, so all clinical success IGA scores will be either 0 or 1.
Number of Patients in Each Treatment That Have Treatment Success Based on TLSS at Day 28 ± 228 DaysThe number of patients in each treatment group that have Treatment Success for the Target Lesion based on the TLSS sub-scale scores. Treatment Success is defined as a score of 0 or 1 for each of the three signs and symptoms (erythema, scaling and plaque elevation) for the Target Lesion. Each score has a minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 5, where a higher value represents a more severe sign or symptom. To be considered for inclusion in the study, the Target Lesion must have a plaque elevation score of at least 2.

This measure is limited to patients with a baseline IGA score of 3, so any IGA score of 0 or 1 at Day 28 ± 2 would be a treatment success.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Patients in Each Treatment That Have Clinical Success Based on IGA at Day 28 ± 2

The number of patients in each treatment group that have clinical success. Clinical Success is at least a 2-grade improvement from the baseline IGA score. The minimum IGA value is 0, and maximum value is 5. A higher number represents a more severe case of plaque psoriasis. Patients are required to have an IGA score of 2 or 3 at baseline, so all clinical success IGA scores will be either 0 or 1.
