Primary Outcome Measures:

Number of Participants Who Were a Success (Clear/Almost Clear) of Plaque Psoriasis at Week 4 Based on the Overall Disease Severity (ODS), Full Ordinal Scale From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of participants who were a success (Clear/Almost Clear) of Plaque Psoriasis at week 4 based on the Overall Disease Severity (ODS), full ordinal scale from baseline to week 4. Overall Disease Severity is evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe/Very Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Number of Participants Who Were a Success (Clear/Almost Clear) of Plaque Psoriasis at Week 2 Based on the Overall Disease Severity (ODS), Dichotomized Scale From Baseline to Week 2 [ Time Frame: Baseline to week 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of participants who were a success (Clear/Almost Clear) of Plaque Psoriasis at Week 2 based on the Overall Disease Severity (ODS), dichotomized scale from Baseline to Week 2. Overall Disease Severity is evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe/Very Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.
Number of Participants in Each Category of the Global Assessment of Improvement (GAI) Scale From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of participants in each category of the Global Assessment of Improvement (GAI) Scale from Baseline to Week 4. The Global Assessment of Improvement is evaluated on a scale from -1 to 4 (-1 = Symptoms worse, 0 = No change, 1 = Minimal Improvement, 2 = Definite Improvement, 3 = Considerable Improvement and 4 = Clearing) with -1 being worst and 4 being best.
Number of Participants With a Decrease in Signs of Psoriasis (Erythema) Scores From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of participants with a decrease in Signs of Psoriasis (Erythema) scores from Baseline to Week 4. Signs of Psoriasis (Erythema) are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe/Very Severe with 0 being best and 4 being worst.
Number of Participants With Decrease in Signs of Psoriasis (Scaling) Scores From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of participants with decrease in Signs of Psoriasis (Scaling) scores from Baseline to Week 4. Signs of Psoriasis (Scaling) are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe/Very Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.
Number of Participants With Decrease in Signs of Psoriasis (Plaque Elevation) Scores From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Number of participants with decrease in Signs of Psoriasis (Plaque Elevation) scores from Baseline to Week 4. Signs of Psoriasis (Plaque Elevation) are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe/Very Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.
Median Percent (%) Change From Baseline in % Treatable BSA (Body Surface Area) From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Median percent (%) change from baseline in % treatable BSA (Body Surface Area) from Baseline to Week 4
Mean Change From Baseline Scores for the Koo-Menter Psoriasis Index 12-item Quality of Life Questionnaire (PQOL-12) From Baseline to Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline to Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Mean change from baseline scores for the Koo-Menter Psoriasis Index 12-item Quality of Life Questionnaire (PQOL-12) from Baseline to Week 4. The Koo-Menter Psoriasis Index is a questionnaire with 12 questions that can be used to assess the effect that psoriasis has on a patient's overall quality of life. The questions are answered on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 being best and 10 being worst.
Number of Participants Who Responded to the Categories of Possible Answers to the Subject's Satisfaction Survey Question "The Treatment Program Was Easy to Follow" at Week 4 [ Time Frame: Baseline and Week 4 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Number of participants with Tolerability Assessments resulting in Adverse Events from baseline to week 4. Tolerability assessments (Pruritus, telangiectasias, and stinging/burning) are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 3 (0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe) with 0 being best and 3 being worst. Skin atrophy and folliculitis are evaluated as absent or present.
