Data are shown for all randomized patients. Categorical variables are presented in frequencies and percentages. Numerical data are shown in medians and IQR (non-normally distributed data) or mean and SD (normally distributed data). Δ refers to change from start of current therapy. Missing data are handled with NRI (non-responder imputation) for binary outcomes or LOCF (last observation carried forward) for non-binary outcomes. Bold values denote statistically significant results.

BSA, body surface area; DLQI, dermatology life quality index; IQR, interquartile range; PASI, psoriasis area and severity index; PASI50, at least 50% reduction in baseline PASI; PASI75, at least 75% reduction in baseline PASI; PASI90, at least 90% reduction in baseline PASI; PASI100, 100% reduction in baseline PASI; SD, standard deviation; sPGA, static physician global assessment.
