Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Have a definite clinical diagnosis of stable (at least 6 months) plaque psoriasis, involving at least 2% and no more than 20% of the body surface area (BSA) (not including the scalp and intertriginous areas)
  • Have a minimum plaque elevation at the target lesion site of at least moderate severity (grade ≥ 3 on the Psoriasis Area Severity Index [PASI]). The most severe lesion at baseline should be identified as the target lesion
  • Have an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of disease severity of at least moderate (score ≥ 3) as an overall assessment of all lesions to be treated.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A female subject who is pregnant, nursing, planning a pregnancy, or does not agree to use an acceptable form of birth control within the study participation period
  • Have a current diagnosis of unstable forms of psoriasis in the treatment area, including pustular, guttate, exfoliative or erythrodermic psoriasis
  • Have a history of psoriasis unresponsive to topical treatments

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Treatment Success Assessed by IGA
Time Frame: Week 12
Proportion of subjects with treatment success (defined as none, minimal or mild disease, a score of 0, 1 or 2 within the treatment area) on the "Investigator's Global Assessment of Disease Severity" (IGA) at the Week 12 visit (Day 85 ± 4 days, End of Study).
Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease Severity None or Minimal on IGA
Time Frame: Week 12
Proportion of subjects with none or minimal disease, a score of 0 or 1 on the IGA at the Week 12 visit (Day 85 ± 4 days, End of Study).
Week 12
Target Site Plaque Elevation, Scaling and Erythema Scores of Less Than or Equal to 1 on the PASI
Time Frame: Week 12
Proportion of subjects with target site plaque elevation, scaling and erythema scores of less than or equal to 1 (Clear or Almost Clear) on the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) at the Week 12 visit (Day 85 ± 4 days, End of Study).
Week 12

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 19, 2016

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
