Detaljert beskrivelse
An investigator-blinded, prospective study of subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis will be conducted.
Forty subjects ages 18 years and older will be enrolled.The Internet-based survey will be piloted to evaluate its effect on adherence to topical psoriasis medication.
Subjects randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the Internet-survey group will log their impression of the state of their psoriasis on a weekly basis.
Subjects in both the intervention and control groups will receive standard-of-care topical fluocinonide 0.05% ointment to be applied to affected areas on the skin twice daily.
Adherence to fluocinonide will be assessed using Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS®) caps, electronic monitors affixed to the medication containers.
Investigators and subjects will be blinded to the adherence data until the final (Month 12) treatment visit.

Beskrivelse
Inclusion Criteria:
- Any male or female 18 years or older of age with a diagnosis of mild to moderate psoriasis by a dermatologist will be eligible for participation.
- Less than 20% of body surface involvement for psoriasis.
- Subject is capable of understanding and willing to provide a signed and dated written voluntary informed consent before any protocol specific procedures are performed.
- The subject is able to complete the study and comply with study instructions, including attending all study visits.
- In general good health with no other skin disease, disease state or physical condition which would impair evaluation of psoriasis or which would increase health risk by study participation
Exclusion Criteria:
- Individuals younger than 18 years of age.
- Known allergy or sensitivity to topical fluocinonide.
- Inability to complete all study-related visits, or inability to complete the Internet survey due to inadequate Internet access.
- Introduction of any other prescription medication, topical or systemic, for psoriasis while participating in the study. Subjects who are on systemic anti-inflammatory treatments for psoriasis must be on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to enrollment.
- Any skin condition or disease that may require concurrent therapy or may confound evaluations

|---|---|

Eksperimentell: Intervention - internet reminder survey
Treatment phase is 12 months.
During the intervention, each subject will receive fluocinonide 0.05% ointment, a standard treatment for psoriasis.
If their psoriasis could be suitably treated with fluocinonide, then they will be asked to participate in the study.
At the initial study visit, fluocinonide will be dispensed in a small jar with a MEMS® electronic monitoring cap attached.
Subjects will be asked to apply the medication twice daily.
They will be asked to the entire affected area, excluding face and genitals.
Subjects will be instructed to apply the smallest amount of study medication sufficient to cover the affected areas.
At the end of the treatment phase, subjects will have a feedback session with specific results of adherence behavior revealed.
They will receive weekly surveys via internet to complete.

Eksperimentell: Standard of care, no internet survey
Standard treatment for psoriasis.
If it is felt that their psoriasis could be suitably treated with fluocinonide, then they will be asked to participate in the study.
At the initial study visit, fluocinonide will be dispensed to the subjects in a small jar with a MEMS® electronic monitoring cap attached.
Subjects will be asked to apply the medication twice daily.
All subjects will be assigned to treatment with topical fluocinonide to the entire affected area, excluding face and genitals.
Subjects will be instructed to apply the smallest amount of study medication sufficient to cover the affected areas.
At the end of the treatment phase, subjects will have a feedback session with specific results of adherence behavior revealed.

Number of days patients adhered to the treatment is reported. All subjects receive the MEMs caps on their medication and it is reported by the "number" of days that the "dosage" was taken correctly, either with or without internet reminder survey intervention. number of days with a correct number of doses taken |

Disease Severity With PASI
Tidsramme: baseline and 12 months
|
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI): The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index is commonly used in clinical trials as a granular measure of disease severity.
PASI combines the assessment of the severity of lesions and the area affected into a single score in the range 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease).
It is weighted for area in each of the four body regions and scores erythema, induration and desquamation on an overall scale from 0-72.
Treatment success is defined as a 75% reduction in PASI score from baseline value.

Disease Severity With IGA Assessment
Tidsramme: baseline and 12 months
|
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA): Similar to assessment performed in clinical practice, based on a 6-point scale from 0 (completely clear) to 5 (very severe).
Treatment success is defined as score of 0 or 1 (clear or almost clear).
