What was measured

The PASI90 response assessments are based on at least 90% improvement in the PASI score from Baseline. This is a scoring system that averages the redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic lesions (on a 0-4 scale), and weights the resulting score by the area of skin involved. Body divided into 4 areas: head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks. Assignment of an average score for the redness, thickness, and scaling for each of the 4 body areas with a score of 0 (clear) to 4 (very marked). Determining the percentage of skin covered with PSO for each of the body areas and converting to a 0 to 6 scale. Final PASI= average redness, thickness, and scaliness of the psoriatic skin lesions, multiplied by the involved psoriasis area score of the respective section, and weighted by the percentage of the person's affected skin for the respective section. The minimum possible PASI score is 0= no disease, the maximum score is 72= maximal disease.

Analysis population: The Randomized Set (RS) consisted of all participants randomized into the study. Missing data were handled using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for multiple imputation.

Groups in this outcome

Placebo Q2W (RS)

Placebo subcutaneous (sc) injections every 2 weeks (Q2W) through Week 14. Treatment received from Week 16-48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment: •PASI75 responders at Week 16 continued to receive blinded Placebo. PASI75 non-responders at Week 16 were removed from blinded study medication and escaped to Certolizumab pegol (CZP) 400 mg Q2W. Participants who received unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and did not achieve a PASI50 response were withdrawn from the study. Participants could enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period (Weeks 16-48) and receive CZP under certain conditions. Participants formed the Randomized Set (RS).

CZP 200 mg Q2W (RS)

CZP 400 mg injections at Weeks 0, 2, 4, followed by CZP 200 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) from Week 6 to Week 14. Treatment received from Week 16-48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment: •PASI75 responders at Week 16 were re-randomized to receive either CZP 200 mg Q2W or CZP 400 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W); with Placebo administered on alternate dosing weeks to maintain the blind) Or Placebo Q2W. Participants who did not achieve a PASI75 response at Week 16 were removed from blinded study medication and escaped to CZP 400 mg Q2W. Participants who received unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and did not achieve a PASI50 response were withdrawn from the study. Participants could enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period and receive CZP under certain conditions. Participants formed the Randomized Set (RS).

CZP 400 mg Q2W (RS)

CZP 400 mg injections every 2 weeks (Q2W) through Week 14. Treatment received from Week 16-48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment: •PASI75 responders at Week 16 were re-randomized to CZP 200 mg Q2W or CZP 400 mg Q2W or Placebo Q2W. Participants who did not achieve a PASI75 response at Week 16 were removed from blinded study medication and escaped to CZP 400 mg Q2W. Participants who received unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and did not achieve a PASI50 response were withdrawn from the study. Participants could enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period and receive CZP under certain conditions. Participants formed the Randomized Set (RS).
