A Dose-Finding Study of GSK2894512 Cream in Subjects With Plaque Psoriasis

Percentage of Participants With >=75 Percent Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) From Baseline to Each Study Visit

The PASI is a standard clinical tool for assessing the severity of psoriasis based on severity of erythema, thickness and scale, as well as the extent of body surface area (BSA) affected with psoriasis. The 3 clinical signs were graded on a 5 point scale (0 to 4) and the % BSA affected was scored on a 7-point scale (0 to 6) for each of the 4 specified body regions (head, upper extremities, trunk and lower extremities). The individual scores were multiplied by a weighted factor for each body region. The sum of these scores gave the overall PASI score. Higher scores indicated more severe disease. The percentage of participants with \>=75% improvement in PASI from Baseline were summarized. Baseline was defined as the latest assessment prior to the first dose. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category title).

Time frame: Baseline and up to Week 16

Percentage of Participants With a Minimum 2 Grade Improvement in PGA Score From Baseline to Each Study Visit

The PGA is a clinical tool for assessing the current state/severity of a participant's psoriasis. It is a static 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity, as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, plaque thickness, and scaling as guidelines. Each assessment was made as a visual 'average' of the severity of all treated areas at the time of the assessment. The scores ranged from 0 to 4 where 0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate and 4=Severe. The percentage of participants who achieved a minimum 2-grade improvement from Baseline for each study visit were summarized. Baseline was defined as the latest assessment prior to the first dose. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n=X in category title).
