Inclusion criteria

1. Men and women diagnosed with stable plaque psoriasis with scalp involvement for 6 months or more. Stable psoriasis is defined as no morphology changes or significant flares of disease activity in the opinion of the Investigator 2. Deemed by the Investigator to be a candidate for phototherapy or systemic therapy 3. Moderate-to-severe scalp psoriasis as defined by scalp-specific Physician's Global Assessment (ss-PGA) ≥ 3; ≥ 20% scalp surface area (SSA); Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI) ≥ 12 at the Screening visit and Day 1 4. ≥ 3% of Body Surface Area (BSA) involvement at the Screening visit and Day 1 5. Evidence of plaque psoriasis in a non-scalp area 6. Failed to respond to, or intolerant of ≥ 1 topical therapy for scalp psoriasis

Exclusion criteria

* Target Disease Exceptions: 1. Has nonplaque psoriasis (ie, guttate, inverse, pustular, erythrodermic or drug-induced psoriasis) at Screening or Day 1 Other protocol-defined inclusion/

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With a Scalp-specific Physician Global Assessment Score of 0 or 1 (Ss-PGA 0/1) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16ss-PGA 0/1 response as a percentage of participants with an ss-PGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16. Scalp lesions are evaluated in terms of clinical signs of redness, thickness, and scaliness and scored on the following 5-point ss-PGA scale: 0 = absence of disease, 1 = very mild disease, 2 = mild disease, 3 = moderate disease, 4 = severe disease.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Scalp-specific Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Score at Week 16Baseline and Week 16Change from baseline in scalp-specific itch numerical rating scale (NRS) score at week 16. The scalp-specific itch NRS is an 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 and 10 with 0 representing no scalp itch and 10 representing worst scalp itch imaginable.. Overall severity of a participant's itching from scalp psoriasis is indicated by selecting the number that best describes the worst level of scalp itching within the past 24 hours.
Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician Global Assessment Score of 0 or 1 (s-PGA 0/1) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16s-PGA 0/1 response as a percentage of participants with an s-PGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16. The s-PGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The s-PGA measure determines psoriasis severity at a single point in time (without taking into account the baseline disease condition) as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From week 0 through week 16An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment that does not necessarily have a causal relation with this treatment.
Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index 90 (PSSI 90) at Week 16Baseline and Week 16PSSI 90 response as a percentage of participants who achieve at least 90% improvement from baseline in the PSSI score at Week 16. PSSI assesses severity of scalp disease in participants with scalp involvement with a 5-point Likert-type scale on the clinical parameters of erythema, induration, and desquamation. The scores are summed and multiplied by an integer (0 to 6) that represents the area of affected scalp. The PSSI score ranges from 0 to 72 with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

Grade 1= mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2= moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3= severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4= events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization.

Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index 90 (PSSI 90) at Week 16

PSSI 90 response as a percentage of participants who achieve at least 90% improvement from baseline in the PSSI score at Week 16. PSSI assesses severity of scalp disease in participants with scalp involvement with a 5-point Likert-type scale on the clinical parameters of erythema, induration, and desquamation. The scores are summed and multiplied by an integer (0 to 6) that represents the area of affected scalp. The PSSI score ranges from 0 to 72 with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

Time frame: Baseline and Week 16

Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician Global Assessment Score of 0 or 1 (s-PGA 0/1) at Week 16

s-PGA 0/1 response as a percentage of participants with an s-PGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16. The s-PGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The s-PGA measure determines psoriasis severity at a single point in time (without taking into account the baseline disease condition) as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
