Change From Baseline in Skindex-16 Questionnaire Overall Score and Domain Scores (Symptoms, Emotions, and Functioning) at Day 57Baseline, Day 57

Skindex-16 is used for participants to rate skin conditions that have occurred within the previous week. It is a short 16-item patient-completed assessment that are classified into three domains: symptoms \[four items, 1-4\], emotions, \[seven items, 5-11\] and functioning \[five items, 12-16\]. All items are scored on a seven-point numerical analogue scales (0=never bothered to 6=always bothered). Each item is then transformed to a linear scale from 0 (never bothered) to 100 (always bothered), where higher the score = more severe in impairment. The total score is the average of all 16 items scores ranging from 0 \[best Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)\] to 96 (worst HRQoL), where higher score indicates worst quality of life.

Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medications (TSQM) Transformed Total Scores at Day 57At Day 57

The TSQM-14 is a participant-rated scale used to assess subjective satisfaction with medication. The TSQM-14 provided scores on 4 domains: effectiveness (questions 1 to 3) side effects (4 to 8), convenience (9 to 11), and global satisfaction (12 to 14). With the exception of item 4 (presence of side effects; yes or no), all items have five or seven responses, scored from one (least satisfied) to five or seven (most satisfied). Scores for each domain were transformed into a final score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating a higher level of satisfaction.
