Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Reduction (Improvement) in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score of ≥ 75% From Baseline to Week 16Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

The PASI score ranges from 0-72 (with a higher score indicating greater severity of psoriasis), based on a combination of the severity (erythema, induration, and desquamation) of psoriasis and percentage of affected area.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving Reduction (Improvement) in PASI Score of ≥ 50% From Baseline to Week 16Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

The PASI score ranges from 0-72 (with a higher score indicating greater severity of psoriasis), based on a combination of the severity (erythema, induration, and desquamation) of psoriasis and percentage of affected area.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Reduction (Improvement) in PASI Score of ≥ 90% From Baseline to Week 16Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

The PASI score ranges from 0-72 (with a higher score indicating greater severity of psoriasis), based on a combination of the severity (erythema, induration, and desquamation) of psoriasis and percentage of affected area.

Percentage of Participants Achieving ≥ 2-point Reduction (Improvement) in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score at Week 16Baseline (Day 1) to Week 16

The investigator evaluated the participant's overall severity of psoriasis using the PGA 5-point scale (0 to 4) where 0=Clear and 4=Severe.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)First dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug (up to Week 12) plus approximately 30 days past last dose

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of study drug.

Percentage of Participants Achieving a Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) Score in PGA at Week 16Week 16

The investigator evaluated the participant's overall severity of psoriasis using the PGA 5-point scale (0 to 4) where 0=Clear to 4=Severe.

Number of Participants With TEAEs Leading to DiscontinuationFirst dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug (up to Week 12) plus approximately 30 days past last dose

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of study drug.

Plasma Concentration of AGN-242428Single sample predose at Week 4 and 8 Visits, single sample 1-2 hours postdose at Weeks 6 and 10 Visits
Number of Participants With TEAEs Considered Related to the Study Treatment as Per InvestigatorFirst dose of study drug to the last dose of study drug (up to Week 12) plus approximately 30 days past last dose

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered a TEAE if the AE began or worsened (increased in severity or became serious) on or after the date of the first dose of study drug. The TEAEs related to the study drug, as assessed by Investigator are reported.
