A One-Year Study To Evaluate The Efficacy And Safety Of CP-690,550 For Patients With Moderate To Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis

Percentage of Participants With a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 90 (PASI 90) Response at Week 16

The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both, "lesion severity" and the "percent of BSA" affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk \[including axillae and groin\], and lower limbs \[including buttocks\]), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The PASI score can vary in increments of 0.1 and range from 0.0 to 72.0, with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. PASI 90 response was defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI relative to Baseline.

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score

The DLQI is a 10-item general dermatology questionnaire that assess health related quality of life (daily activities, personal relationships, symptoms and feelings, leisure, work and school, and treatment). The DLQI item response options are rated by the participant from 0 (not at all/not relevant) to 3 (very much) with a total score range of 0 (best) to 30 (worst); higher scores indicate poor quality of life.

All the scales ranged from 0 (limited none of the time) to 100 (limited all of the time). The WLQ Index score is the weighted sum of the scores from the 4 WLQ scales (total score: 0 \[no loss\] to 100 \[complete loss of work\]).

Euro Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) - Health State Profile Utility Score

EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in terms of a single utility score. Health State Profile component assesses level of current health for 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression; 1 indicates better health state (no problems); 3 indicates worst health state ("confined to bed"). Scoring formula developed by EuroQol Group assigns a utility value for each domain in the profile. Score is transformed and results in a total score range -0.594 to 1.000; higher score indicates a better health state.

Psoriasis Healthcare Resource Utilization Questionnaire (Ps-HCRU) - Interaction With Healthcare Professional

The Psoriasis Health Care Resource Utilization (Ps-HCRU) questionnaire is a short questionnaire designed to assess healthcare resource use and the impact of psoriasis on work. The first section assesses direct costs associated with healthcare resource use (interactions with healthcare providers such as general practitioners, Dermatologist and Rheumatologist. Baseline is the latest pre-dose measurement. Week 16 includes all reported log data to Week 16 (excluding Baseline). Participants may have response in more than 1 category. Data was not analyzed beyond Week 16 as per study team's decision because Week 0 - 16 period was considered sufficient to provide clear reflection of Ps-HCRU endpoint. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies participants evaluable for this measure.

Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI) Score

The FDLQI is a 10-item questionnaire that examine the impact of health-related quality of life issues associated with living with a person with a skin condition (example, emotional distress, personal relationships, reactions of other people, social life, caregiving) over the last month.

Total score is calculated by summing the score of each item resulting in a maximum score of '30' and a minimum score of '0'. Higher scores indicate greater impairment to quality of life. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies participants evaluable for this measure.
