Plaque Psoriasis | Drug: Enstilar | Phase 4 |
Approximately 20 subjects from 3 sites will be enrolled in this open-label study. Subjects will receive Enstilar foam and all adverse events and concomitant medications will be recorded.
Subjects will attend a screening visit/baseline visit and those with plaque-type psoriasis and bilateral symmetric psoriatic plaques will have a target lesion identified on knees or elbows and subjects will receive study treatment as outlined above.
Enstilar will be initiated daily for the entire study period of four weeks. Study visits will occur as follows: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4. Study assessments at each visit will be Body Surface Area (BSA,) Physicians Global Assessment (PGA,) Target lesion size, Total Lesion Severity Score (TLSS) and standard medical assessments. There will be standard medication/treatment and washout periods.
NOTE: The original study protocol dated december 20, 2017, was designed to compare the effect of Enstilar versus vehicle for the treatment of plaque psoriasis at a 1:1 ratio. A protocol amendment on March 20, 2018 eliminated the chance of placebo and made this an open-label study of the effects of Enstilar for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.

Experimental: Enstilar foam
Subjects will receive calcipotriene hydrate/betamethasone dipropionate (Enstilar) foam and apply to affected areas once daily. A target lesion located on elbow or knee will be identified by the Investigator for daily treatment with the medicated foam from Baseline through week 4.

- Change in Physicians Global Assessment (PGA) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 [ Time Frame: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4 ]Physician assessment of disease severity. 0=Clear, 1=Almost Clear, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate
- Change in Lesion Size From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 [ Time Frame: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4 ]Size of target lesion recorded as height in cm x length in cm
- Change in Body Surface Area (BSA) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 [ Time Frame: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4 ]Percent of total body surface affected by psoriasis, calculated by multiplying the percent of a specified body area affected by psoriasis x the percent of total body surface area represented by the specified area (where head = 10% of total body surface, trunk = 30%, upper limbs = 20%, lower limbs = 40%)
- Change in TLSS (Total Lesion Severity Score) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 - Assessment of Erythema [ Time Frame: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4 ]A combined score of disease severity of target lesion which includes assessment of erythema (0=none, 1= slightly pink, 2=pink, 4=red, 6=very red, 8=extremely red), induration (0=no evidence of plaque above normal skin level, 2=slight definite elevation above normal skin level, 4=moderate elevation with rounded or sloped edges to plaque, 6=marked elevation with hard sharp edges to plaque), and scaling (0=no evidence of scaling on lesion, 2= mild mainly fine scales with some of lesion at least partially covered, 4=moderate somewhat coarser scale and most of lesion at least partially covered, 6= severe coarse thick scales and rough surface covering virtually all of lesion, 8=very severe coarse very thick scales and rough surface covering entire lesion
- Change in TLSS (Total Lesion Severity Score) From Baseline to Week 2 and Week 4 - Assessment of Induration [ Time Frame: screening/baseline, week 2, week 4 ]A combined score of disease severity of target lesion which includes assessment of erythema (0=none, 2=pink, 4=red, 6=very red, 8=extremely red), induration (0=no evidence of plaque above normal skin level, 1=very slight, 2=slight definite elevation above normal skin level, 3=mild, 4=moderate elevation with rounded or sloped edges to plaque, 6=marked elevation with hard sharp edges to plaque), and scaling (0=no evidence of scaling on lesion, 2= mild mainly fine scales with some of lesion at least partially covered, 4=moderate somewhat coarser scale and most of lesion at least partially covered, 6= severe coarse thick scales and rough surface covering virtually all of lesion, 8=very severe coarse very thick scales and rough surface covering entire lesion
