What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (sPGA 0/1)
The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; Severe = 4). sPGA 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 or 1 with at least 2-point improvement from baseline using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.
Measured: Week 16
The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (PASI 75)
PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.
Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
Secondary outcomes (16)
The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 90% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score at Week 16 (PASI 90)
PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 90 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 90% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.
Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 100% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (PASI 100)
PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 100 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 100% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.
Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment Score of 0 at Week 16 (sPGA 0)
The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe). sPGA 0 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.
Measured: Week 16
Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) Symptom Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Apremilast at Week 16
PSSD is an 11-item participant-reported instrument that assesses severity of symptoms and participant-observed signs commonly associated in plaque psoriasis. PSSD assesses severity of 5 symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning, skin tightness) and 6 participants-observed signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness, bleeding) using 0-10 numerical ratings. The severity of each item is rated on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). A symptom score will be derived by averaging the 5 questions and multiplying by 10. A sign score will be derived by averaging the 6 questions and multiplying by 10. A total PSSD score with range 0-100 will be derived from taking the average of the symptom and sign scores, where 0 representing the least severe symptom/sign and 100 the most severe. A mBOCF approach will be used for missing data.
Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) Symptom Score 0 at Week 16
PSSD with a 24-hour recall period is an 11-item participant-reported instrument that assesses severity of symptoms and participant-observed signs commonly associated in plaque psoriasis. PSSD assesses severity of 5 symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning, skin tightness) and 6 participants-observed signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness, bleeding) using 0-10 numerical ratings. The severity of each item is rated on an 11-point numeric rating scale ranging from 0 (absent) to 10 (worst imaginable). PSSD 0 is the response as a number of participants who experience a PSSD symptom score that is derived from the average of the scores and determines psoriasis severity as 0 among participants with a baseline PSSD symptom score >= 1.
Measured: Week 16
The Number of Participants With a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (DLQI 0/1)
DLQI is a participant-reported quality of life index which consists of 10 questions concerning symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work, school, personal relationships, and treatment during the last week before questionnaire. Each question is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 by a tick box (0 = "not at all"; 1 = "a little"; 2 = "a lot"; or 3 = "very much"). The scores are summed, giving a range from 0 (no impairment of life quality) to 30 (maximum impairment). DLQI 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience DLQI score of 0 or 1 among participants with a baseline DLQI score >=2.
Measured: Week 16

PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 52, or who have missing week 52 endpoint data for any reason.
Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).

Primary outcome
The Number of Participants With a Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of 0 or 1 in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (sPGA 0/1)
Time frame: Week 16
The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scale, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, which is rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The higher sPGA score denotes to more severe disease activity (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; Severe = 4). sPGA 0/1 is the response as a number of participants who experience a sPGA score that determines psoriasis severity as 0 or 1 with at least 2-point improvement from baseline using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason.
The Number of Participants Who Achieve a 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) Score in Participants Receiving BMS-986165 Compared to Placebo at Week 16 (PASI 75)
Time frame: Baseline and Week 16
PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the response as a number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value using the non-responder imputation (NRI) method that will be used for participants who discontinue treatment or study prior to week 16 or who have missing week 16 endpoint data for any reason. Baseline is defined as the measurement at the randomization visit (Week 0).
