Primary | Change in Quality of Life Measured Using the EPP-quality of Life Questionnaire (EPP-QoL). | The EPP-QoL is presented as 15 questions aiming at measuring how the condition has affected the patient over the last 2 months. Each question is answered on a categorical scale. The maximum score is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the better the quality of life. | Baseline, Day 60, Day 120, Day 180 or early termination (ET) (if applicable) | |
Primary | Change in Quality of Life Measured Using the Dermatology Life Quality Index Questionnaire (DLQI) | The DLQI questionnaire consists of 10 questions, each answered on a categorical scale. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. | Baseline, Day 60, Day 120, Day 180 or early termination (ET) (if applicable) |
