Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants Who Achieved >75 or Higher (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) PASI Score at 12 Weeks A 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score (PASI 75) is the current benchmark of primary endpoints for most clinical trials of psoriasis. PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). 12 weeks
Primary Percentage of Participants Who Achieved (Investigator's Global Assessment) IGA Score of 0 or 1 The IGA mod 2011 scale is static, i.e. it referred exclusively to the participant's disease at the time of the assessment, and did not compare with any of the participant's previous disease states at previous visits. The scores are: 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. Treatment success was defined as achievement of IGA mod 2001 score of 0 or 1. IGA score of 0 or 1 as an indicator of efficacy. 12 weeks
Secondary Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) Score of 90 or Better at Week 12 PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). PASI 90 was defined as participants who achievied = 90% improvement from baseline. 12 weeks
Secondary Number of Participants That Maintained the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response at 52 Weeks of Treatment for Participants Who Were PASI 75 Responders at Week 12 PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72(maximal disease). Body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, legs; each area is scored by itself and scores are combined for final PASI. For each area, percent of skin involved is estimated: 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%), and severity is estimated by clinical signs, erythema, induration and desquamation; scale 0 (none) to 4 (maximum). Final PASI = sum of severity parameters for each area* area score weight of section (head: 0.1, arms: 0.2 body: 0.3 legs: 0.4). 12 and 52 weeks
Secondary Number of Participants That Maintained the IGA Mod 2011 0 or 1 Response at 52 Weeks of Treatment for Participants Who Were IGA Mod 2011 0 or 1 Responders at Week 12 The IGA mod 2011 scale is static, i.e. it referred exclusively to the participant's disease at the time of the assessment, and did not compare with any of the participant's previous disease states at previous visits. The scores are: 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe. Treatment success was defined as achievement of IGA mod 2001 score of 0 or 1. 12 and 52 weeks
Secondary Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Psoriasis Symptom Diary Items Itching, Pain and Scaling in AIN457 vs Placebo The Psoriasis Symptom Diary©, a 16-item patient reported outcome (PRO) measure developed and validated in accordance with the FDA PRO Guidance (FDA Guidance for Industry: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures: Use in Medical Product Development to Support Labeling Claims, 2009), demonstrated favorable psychometric properties and usefulness for treatment efficacy evaluation alongside other measures of disease severity in clinical trials for chronic plaque psoriasis.Weekly averages will be derived for each of the 16 questions of the Psoriasis Diary up to Week 12. A weekly average is the sum of the scored item over the course of the study week divided by the number of days on which the item was completed and will be set to missing if four or more daily assessments were missing of the corresponding question. A reduction in score from baseline shows efficacy. Each question has a score of 0 (no symptoms) up to 10 (Severe symptoms) Week 12
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 50/75/90/100 Response or IGA 0 or 1 Response up to 12 Weeks Induction Period PASI is a combined assessment of lesion severity and affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease).

Secondary Mean Percent Change From Baseline in EuroQOL 5-Dimension Health Status Questionnaire (EQ-5D) Health State Assessment (From 0 to 100) Induction Period The EQ-5D is an instrument used to assess a participant's health status. The instrument includes a descriptive profile and a visual analog scale (VAS). The descriptive profile includes 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension had 3 response levels: no problems, some problems and severe problems. The VAS is a vertical scale that assesses the health status from 0 (worst possible health state) to 100 (best possible health state). This outcome measures the percent change in VAS score. Positive mean percent changes indicate improvement. Baseline, Week 4,8, 12
