Trial Outcomes & Findings for Taclonex Ointment With Hydrogel Patch Occlusion for the Treatment of Psoriasis (NCT NCT00924950)

NCT ID: NCT00924950

Last Updated: 2019-04-18

Results Overview

Modified psoriasis severity index measures erythema, induration, and scaling each measured from 0-4, with a maximum summed score of 12. A higher score means greater psoriasis severity and a lower score means lower psoriasis severity.

Measure
Ointment + Patch vs. Ointment Alone
Taclonex (calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.064%) ointment used topically to treat one psoriatic plaque with Hydrogel patch used over for occlusion for 6-8 hours daily. Within the same patient another patch of similar severity was chosen and was treated with Taclonex ointment alone without hydrogel patch occlusion

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks

Population: The number of participants was chosen by our budget restrictions. 35 patients were enrolled. 5 patients were lost to follow-up.

Modified psoriasis severity index measures erythema, induration, and scaling each measured from 0-4, with a maximum summed score of 12. A higher score means greater psoriasis severity and a lower score means lower psoriasis severity.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Taclonex Ointment Occluded With Hydrogel Patch
n=30 Participants
Taclonex (calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.064%) ointment used daily topically to treat one psoriatic plaque, occluded with hydrogel patch for 6-8 hours each day.
Taclonex Alone
n=30 Participants
Taclonex (calcipotriene 0.005% and betamethasone dipropionate 0.064%) ointment used daily without hydrogel patch.
Change in Total Modified PASI Score at Week 4 Compared to Baseline
0.86 Units on a scale
Interval 0.4 to 1.31
2.2 Units on a scale
Interval 1.7 to 3.58

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Weeks

Population: This outcome measure was not analyzed due to termination of the study

Change in Modified PASI Scores Between Week 4 and Week 6 During the Follow-up Period. This is to Determine Whether There is Further Improvement of Psoriasis After the Cessation of Occlusion.
