MeasureTime frameDescription
The Percentage of Participants With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis Experiencing a 75% Improvement (Reduction From Baseline) in PASI Score (PASI-75 Response Rate) on Day 85 (Week 12)Day 1 to Day 85Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 response: patients who achieved ≥ 75% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline were defined as PASI 75 responders. PASI scores can range from 0, corresponding to no signs of psoriasis up to theoretical maximum of 72.0, which means a higher PASI score reflects a higher psoriasis activity.
Number of Participants With Adverse EventsDay 1 to day 115The safety and tolerability of BMS-986195 as assessed by the number of subjects with adverse events (AEs); number of subjects with serious adverse events (SAEs); number of subjects with adverse events leading to discontinuation

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in DLQI Scores on Day 85Day 1 to Day 85The DLQI is a participant reported quality of life index which consists of 10 questions concerning symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work, school, personal relationships, and treatment during the last week. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 by a tick box: not at all, a little, a lot, or very much. The scores are summed, giving a range from 0 (no impairment of life quality) to 30 (maximum impairment)
Percentage of Participants on Day 85 With PASI-50, PASI-90, PASI-100.Day 1 to Day 85Percentage of patients achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 50, PASI 90 and PASI 100 responses on Day 85. PASI 50 response: patients who achieved ≥ 50% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline were defined as PASI 50 responders. PASI 90 response: patients who achieved ≥ 90% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline were defined as PASI 90 responders. PASI 100 response: patients who achieved ≥ 100% improvement (reduction) in PASI score compared to baseline were defined as PASI 100 responders. PASI scores can range from 0, corresponding to no signs of psoriasis up to theoretical maximum of 72.0, which means a higher PASI score reflects a higher psoriasis activity.
Trough Observed Plasma Concentration of BMS-986165 (Ctrough)Days 8, 15, 29, 57, 85Pharmacokinetics of BMS-986165 were derived from plasma concentration versus time data. Ctrough= Trough observed plasma concentration
Change From Baseline in BSA on Day 85Day 1 to Day 85Measurement of psoriasis body surface area (BSA) involvement is estimated using the handprint method with the size of a patient's handprint representing \ 1% of body surface area involved.The total BSA = 100% with breakdown by body region as follows: head and neck = 10% (10 handprints), upper extremities = 20% (20 handprints), trunk including axillae and groin = 30% (30 handprints), lower extremities including buttocks = 40% (40 handprints). A decrease from Baseline indicates improvement. Change from Baseline was calculated as Baseline score - Day 85 score; a positive change from Baseline therefore indicates improvement.
Percentage of Participants on Day 85 With sPGA Score of 0 or 1 (sPGA0/1 Response Rate).Day 1 to Day 85Percentage of participants achieving a clear (0) or almost clear (1) status on the Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) on Day 85. This index evaluates the physician's global assessment of the participant's psoriasis based on severity of induration, scaling, and erythema. The assessment was scored on a scale of 0 to 5, where 0 = clear, with no evidence of plaque elevation, erythema, or scale, and 5 = severe induration, erythema, and scaling.
