Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryThe Percentage of Patients Achieving a Response in Mucosal Disease (or Cutaneous Disease if no Mucosal Disease) at 12 Weeks12 weeks
Physician global assessment of disease scores: 0=clear; 1=minimal disease; 2=mild disease; 3=moderate disease; 4=severe disease. Subjects had a level \>=3 at baseline. To be considered a responder, the subject must achieve a level of 0 or 1, or, at least a 2 point improvement in the scale.
SecondaryCount of Patients Achieving a Response in Cutaneous or Mucosal Disease at 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 24
Physician global assessment of disease scores: 0=clear; 1=minimal disease; 2=mild disease; 3=moderate disease; 4=severe disease. Subjects had a level \>=3 at baseline. To be considered a responder, the subject must achieve a level of 0 or 1, or, at least a 2 point improvement in the scale.
SecondaryThe Physician Assessment of Surface Area of Disease (PSAD) for Oral Disease at 12 and 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 12; Week 24
The percentage of surface area involved with disease is reported as assessed by the physician using a Likert scale. Assessment scores range from 0-5, with lower scores corresponding lower percentage of surface area with disease. 0=clear, 1=\<2%, 2=2-9%, 3=10-29%, 4=30-50%, 5=\>50%.
SecondaryThe Physician Assessment of Surface Area of Disease (PSAD) for Genital Disease at 12 and 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 12; Week 24
The percentage of surface area involved with disease is reported as assessed by the physician using a Likert scale. Assessment scores range from 0-5, with lower scores corresponding lower percentage of surface area with disease. 0=clear, 1=\<2%, 2=2-9%, 3=10-29%, 4=30-50%, 5=\>50%.
SecondaryThe Physician Assessment of Surface Area of Disease (PSAD) for Skin Disease at 12 and 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 12; Week 24
The percentage of surface area involved with disease is reported as assessed by the physician using a Likert scale. Assessment scores range from 0-5, with lower scores corresponding lower percentage of surface area with disease. 0=clear, 1=\<2%, 2=2-9%, 3=10-29%, 4=30-50%, 5=\>50%.
SecondaryCutaneous Target Lesion Scores - Erythema, at 12 and 24 WeeksWeek 12; Week 24
This is an investigator-based assessment of a single preselected target skin lesion. Assessment scores range from 0-3 on a Likert scale, with higher scores meaning worse erythema. 0=clear, 1=mild/pink, 2=moderately red, 3=severely red/violaceous.
SecondaryCutaneous Target Lesion Scores - Elevation, at 12 and 24 WeeksWeek 12; Week 24
This is an investigator-based assessment of a single preselected target skin lesion. Assessment scores range from 0-3 on a Likert scale, with higher scores meaning worse elevation. 0=flat, 1=barely palpable (\<0.5 mm), 2=moderate (0.5 mm-1 mm), 3=severe (\>1 mm).
SecondaryCutaneous Target Lesion Scores - Scale, at 12 and 24 WeeksWeek 12; Week 24
This is an investigator-based assessment of a single preselected target skin lesion. Assessment scores range from 0-3 on a Likert scale, with higher scores meaning worse scaling. 0=none, 1=fine/dusty scale, 2=moderate scale, 3=thick/tenacious scale.
SecondaryCutaneous Target Lesion Scores - Total, at 12 and 24 WeeksWeek 12; Week 24
This score sums all of the 3 elements of the target lesion score (erythema, elevation, scale) described in Outcome Measures 6-8. Assessment scores range from 0-9 on a Likert scale, with higher numbers meaning more severe disease in the target skin lesion.
SecondaryPatient Assessment of Pain on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 12 and 24 WeeksBaseline; Week 12; Week 24
Participants were asked to indicate their pain level by marking it on a 10 cm linear VAS scale. The number of centimeters from the left end of the line to the mark was measured in cm. Total range was 0-10. Lower scores correspond to less pain, higher scores correspond to more pain.
