Percent Change From Baseline in PASI Score at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8
PASI score is the combined assessment of lesion severity and area affected into single score range: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. Body divided into 4 sections (head and neck [h], arms [u], trunk [t], legs [l]); each area scored by itself and scores combined for final PASI score. For each section, percent body surface area (A) of skin involved was estimated: 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90-100 percent involvement), severity estimated by clinical signs: erythema (E), induration (I), scaling (S); 5 point scale: 0 (no involvement) to 4 (very marked involvement). Final PASI score = 0.1Ah (Eh + Ih + Sh) + 0.2Au (Eu + Iu + Su) + 0.3At (Et + It + St) + 0.4Al (El + Il + Sl), where head: 0.1; upper limbs: 0.2; trunk: 0.3; lower limbs: 0.4).

Participants who had at least 50 percent reduction in PASI score relative to baseline PASI Score are reported. 90 percent confidence intervals are calculated using clopper-pearson (exact) method.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Response of 'Clear' or 'Almost Clear' at Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8
The PGA of psoriasis was scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema (E), induration (I), and scaling (S) across all psoriatic lesions. The severity rating scores (erythema: 0= no evidence of erythema to 4= dark, deep red; Induration: 0= no evidence of plaque elevation to 4= marked plaque elevation, hard/sharp borders; Scaling: 0= no evidence of scaling to 4= thick, coarse scale predominates) were summed (E + I + S= total) and the average (total/3) was taken. The total average was rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine the PGA. The 5-point scale for PGA was: 0= clear; 1= almost clear; 2= mild; 3= moderate; 4= severe, where higher score indicating more severity. Participants with response of clear and almost clear were reported. 90 percent confidence intervals were calculated using clopper-pearson (exact) method.
Change From Baseline in Fasting Lipids at Week 2, 4 and 8

The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. Reference range for measurements is 0-0.5 mg/dL and lower limit of detection is less than (<) 0.015 mg/dL. Any value <0.015 mg/dL is imputed as 0.0075 mg/dL.
