Detailed Description

A phase 3, national, multi-centre, 4-week, prospective, randomised, controlled, parallel-group, open trial of LEO 90100 foam versus Dovobet® ointment (both treatments containing calcipotriol hydrate plus betamethasone dipropionate) in Japanese subjects with psoriasis vulgaris.

Interventions

  • Drug: LEO 90100 foam
    • Once daily topical application of foam from a can to psoriasis lesions. Dose depends on size of lesion.
  • Drug: Dovobet® ointment
    • Once daily topical application of ointment from a tube to psoriasis lesions. Dose depends on size of lesion.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: LEO 90100 foam
    • calcipotriol hydrate 52.2 µg/g [equivalent to 50.0 µg/g calcipotriol] plus betamethasone dipropionate 0.643 mg/g
  • Active Comparator: Dovobet® ointment
    • calcipotriol hydrate 52.2 µg/g [equivalent to 50.0 µg/g calcipotriol] plus betamethasone dipropionate 0.643 mg/g

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Overall Improvement Rate for the Target Lesion
    • Time Frame: End of Week 4
    • Overall improvement defined as ‘Substantial Resolution’ of Clinical Signs or at Least ‘Moderately Improved’ in the General Change in the Lesion. Substantial resolution’ is defined as a clinical score for thickness and scaliness of 0 and a clinical score for redness of 1 or less in the severity of clinical signs of the target lesion. The details of the clinical scores are presented in secondary outcome measure description for ‘Change in the total sign score’. Change in the Lesion is a 5 point scale below: Markedly improved (best outcome) Moderately improved Slightly improved Unchanged Aggravated (worst outcome)

Secondary Measures

  • Overall Improvement Rate for the Target Lesion at Weeks 1 and 2
    • Time Frame: End of Weeks 1 and 2
    • Substantial resolution of clinical signs or at least ‘moderately improved’ in the general change in the target lesion. Change in the Lesion is a 5 point scale below: Markedly improved (best outcome) Moderately improved Slightly improved Unchanged Aggravated (worst outcome)
  • Change in the Total Sign Score for the Target Lesion From Week 0 to Week 4
    • Time Frame: End of Week 4
    • The change in the total sign score from Week 0 to Week 4; total sign score is defined as the sum of the scores from the 3 clinical signs (redness, thickness, and scaliness) assessing severity in the target lesion. The severity for each of the 3 clinical signs was recorded according to a 9-point scale that ranges from a score of 0 to 4 in increments of 0.5; the severities are scored from low to high with 0 = none and 4 = severe. The sum of the 3 total sign scores could range from 0 (best) to 12 (worse). The greater the negative value for the change means a better outcome. Negative change denotes a decrease in the score and therefore a decrease in disease severity.
  • Number of Adverse Events
    • Time Frame: Treatment Emergent Adverse Events were assessed from Day 1 to end of Week 4, if Treatment Emergent Adverse Events were noted, they were followed for an additional 14 days
    • Number of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). 14-day follow-up of TEAEs was only required if the TEAE was present at the last visit, and was of possible or probable relationship to trial medication.
