Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Scalp Investigator Global Assessment (S-IGA) Score Change8 weeks

S-IGA Success, defined as an IGA score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' plus a 2-point improvement at Week 8. This global assessment scale has five severity grades reported from 0-4 and defined as Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), Mild (2),Moderate (3), Severe (4).

Body Investigator Global Assessment (B-IGA) Score Change8 weeks

B-IGA Success, defined as an IGA score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' plus a 2-point improvement at Week 8. This global assessment scale has five severity grades reported from 0-4 and defined as Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), Mild (2),Moderate (3), Severe (4).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SI-NRS (Scalp Itch-Numeric Rating Score) Success, defined as achievement of a ≥ 4-point improvement from Baseline.Week 2

SI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").

Change from Baseline (CFB) SI-NRS (Scalp Itch-Numeric Rating Score)Day 1

SI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").

Change From Baseline (CFB) in PSD (Psoriasis Symptoms Diary) items related to Itching, Pain, and Scaling (Questions 1, 9, and 11) aggregate score at Week 8Week 8

The PSD is a 16-item assessment that measures psoriasis symptoms and impact on functional health. Symptom items assess the severity and bother of psoriasis-related itching, stinging, burning, pain, scaling, and skin color.

Psoriasis Symptoms Diary (PSD) Item related to Itching (Question 1) = 0 at Week 8Week 8

The PSD is a 16-item assessment that measures psoriasis symptoms and impact on functional health. Symptom items assess the severity and bother of psoriasis-related itching, stinging, burning, pain, scaling, and skin color.

The PSD is a 16-item assessment that measures psoriasis symptoms and impact on functional health. Symptom items assess the severity and bother of psoriasis-related itching, stinging, burning, pain, scaling, and skin color.

Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI-75)Week 8

The PSSI is used for the measurement of severity of psoriasis. PSSI combines the assessment of the severity of scalp lesions and the area of scalp affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease).The PSSI is used for the measurement of severity of psoriasis.

PSSI combines the assessment of the severity of scalp lesions and the area of scalp affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease).
