Efficacy and Safety of Calcipotriol Plus Betamethasone Gel in the Treatment of Scalp Psoriasis

March 25, 2015 updated by: LEO Pharma

Calcipotriol Plus Betamethasone Dipropionate Gel Compared to Betamethasone Dipropionate in the Gel Vehicle, Calcipotriol in the Gel Vehicle, and the Gel Vehicle Alone in Scalp Psoriasis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether once daily treatment for up to 8 weeks of calcipotriol 50 mcg/g plus betamethasone 0.5 mg/g (as dipropionate) gel is safe and more effective than betamethasone 0.5 mg/g (as dipropionate) in the gel vehicle, calcipotriol 50 mcg/g in the gel vehicle or the gel vehicle used alone in patients with scalp psoriasis.

The primary outcome is the proportion of patients with absence of disease or very mild disease after 8 weeks of treatment.
