Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether once daily topical treatment for up to 8 weeks of calcipotriol 50 mcg/g plus betamethasone 0.5 mg/g (as dipropionate) gel is safe and more effective than betamethasone 0.5 mg/g (as dipropionate) in the gel vehicle and calcipotriol 50 mcg/g in the gel vehicle in patients with scalp psoriasis.

The primary response criterion is the number of patients with absence of disease and very mild disease after 8 weeks of treatment.
