VTX958 Versus Placebo for the Treatment of Active Psoriatic Arthritis (Tranquility-PsA)

Change from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) scores at Week 16

HAQ-DI assesses functional ability. It is a 20 question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty with accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities of daily living). Responses in each functional area are scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (inability to perform a task in that area). The overall HAQ-DI score is the mean of the 8 functional area scores and ranges from 0 to 3. Lower scores are indicative of improved functional ability.

Time frame: Week 16

Proportion of participants achieving 75% reduction in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI75) score at Week 16, in participants with at least 3% body surface area (BSA) involvement at baseline

PASI is used to assess the severity of psoriasis and response to therapy. Each body region is evaluated separately for body surface area percentage of involvement and translated to numeric score ranging from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90 to 100% involvement) and for erythema, induration, and scaling, each is rated on scale of 0 to 4 (from none to maximum severity). PASI numeric scores range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (maximal disease). Higher scores indicate more severe disease.
