Mean percentage change from baseline.

FAEs, fumaric acid esters; phototherapy, ultraviolet A, ultraviolet B or psoralen + ultraviolet A; MTX, methotrexate; n, number of patients with available data; SD, standard deviation; SGOT, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase; SGPT, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase; GGT, gamma‐glutamyltransferase. Normal ranges: SGOT = 10−50 IU/L, SGPT = 10−50 IU/L, GGT = 10−71 IU/L, serum creatinine = 0.70−1.20 mg/dL.
