- Investigator Global Assessment Scale (IGA) Score Change [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]Achievement of an IGA score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' plus a 2-grade improvement from Baseline. 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).
- Achievement of Psoriasis Area Severity Index 75 (PASI-75) [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is the most widely used tool for the measurement of severity of psoriasis. PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease)
- Intertriginous IGA (I-IGA) score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' PLUS a 2-grade improvement [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]For subjects with intertriginous area involvement, and with severity of the intertriginous lesions at least 'mild' (intertriginous IGA (I-IGA) ≥2) at Baseline, achievement of 'I-IGA' score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' PLUS a 2-grade improvement
- Reduction in Worst Itch (WI-NRS) pruritus score [ Time Frame: Week 2, Week 4, Week 8 ]In subjects with WI-NRS pruritus score ≥ 4 at baseline, achievement of a 4-point reduction in WI-NRS pruritus score. The WI-NRS is a 10 point scale with 0 as no itch and 10 as the worst itch imaginable.
- Change in Psoriasis Symptoms Diary (PSD) score [ Time Frame: Week 4, Week 8 ]The Psoriasis Symptoms Diary (PSD) evaluates subject psoriasis-related symptoms and experiences over the past 24-hours. Item scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating a worse condition.
- Achieving Psoriasis Area Severity Index-50 (PASI-50) [ Time Frame: Week 2, Week 4, Week 8 ]Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is the most widely used tool for the measurement of severity of psoriasis. PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease)
- Achievement of Psoriasis Area Severity Index-90 (PASI-90) [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is the most widely used tool for the measurement of severity of psoriasis. PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease)
