Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Elucidate drug mechanism of action by monitoring morphologic changes in lesional vs. perilesional psoriatic plaques using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Secondary outcome measures
Compare the onset/timing of subclinical improvement on OCT imaging to patients who achieve a 90% or 100% (PASI 90 and PASI 100) improvement from baseline in the PASI
Compare timing of subclinical improvement on OCT to the proportion of patients who achieve a reduction in PASI score by at least 75% (PASI 75) and/or score of 0 or 2-point improvement on the IGA (mod 2011) by week 12.
