Purpose
PH-10 is an aqueous hydrogel formulation of rose bengal disodium (RB) for topical administration to the skin, and is being studied for the treatment of cutaneous skin disorders, specifically psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. This phase 2 efficacy and safety study will assess topical PH-10 applied once daily to areas of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- The primary efficacy endpoint is "Treatment Success," a static endpoint assessed at Day 29 after initial PH-10 treatment and defined as 0 or 1 on all Psoriasis Severity Index (PSI) components and 0 or 1 on the Plaque Response scale. [ Time Frame: 28 days ]
- The primary safety endpoint is incidence of adverse experiences, including pain and dermatologic/skin toxicity (incidence, severity, frequency, duration and causality). [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Psoriasis Severity Index (PSI) score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
- Plaque Response score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
- Pruritus Self-Assessment score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment. [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]
