结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of Subjects Who Achieve Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 at Week 16
时间窗: Week 16
The PASI score is a tool that allows investigators to assign an objective number to the degree of severity of a person's psoriasis, and considers: redness, scaling and thickness. Values for PASI score range from 0 (least) to 72 (worst). PASI 75 was defined as an improvement of at least 75% in PASI as compared to Baseline. The Last Observation Carry Forward (LOCF) method was used to impute missing data.
