February 20, 2008 updated by: LEO Pharma

A Randomised, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel, Multi-Center Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of Daivobet® Ointment in Patients With Psoriasis Vulgaris

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate ointment compared with calcipotriol ointment in the treatment of patients with psoriasis vulgaris for a duration of 4 weeks. The study will focus on the percentage change of the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) from baseline to the end of week 4.
