    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Scores [Baseline, 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).

    2. Percentage of Participants Who Had Not Relapsed at Any Time in the Trial [Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 and 56]

      This outcome measure shows the proportion of participants in each of the AIN457 treatment groups who were relapse free throughout the study up to and including week 56.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With at Least 50% Improvement From Baseline in PASI [Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, end of study (EOS) (up to week 56)]

      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).

    2. Percentage of Participants With at Least 75% or 90% Improvement From Baseline in PASI [Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, EOS (up to week 56)]

      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).

    3. Percentage of Participants in Each Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Category [Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, EOS (up to week 56)]

      The IGA 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, 4 = severe and 5 = very severe.

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details The planned enrollment was for 100 participants. However, one center was prematurely terminated and the data from this center could not be used for analysis. Therefore, additional participants were randomized to replace the 30 participants from the early terminated center. As a result, a total of 130 participants were enrolled.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Participants from the PD Analysis Set, who had both baseline and week 12 values, were included in the analysis. As such, the population for each treatment group is different from the PD population in the participant flow. The PD analysis set included participants who had at least one dose of study medication and had no protocol deviations.

    Description This outcome measure shows the proportion of participants in each of the AIN457 treatment groups who were relapse free throughout the study up to and including week 56.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    PD analysis set participants (AIN457 groups only), who had not yet relapsed were included in the analysis at each time point. As a result, the number of participants at risk for relapse may decrease as the number of weeks on study increases. The PD set included participants who had at least one dose of study medication and no protocol deviations.

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).

    Title Percentage of Participants in Each Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Category
    Description The IGA 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, 4 = severe and 5 = very severe.
    Time Frame Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, EOS (up to week 56)
