Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Determine the Efficacy and Safety of Halobetasol Propionate Lotion 0.05% in Subjects With Plaque Psoriasis (NCT NCT01610596)

NCT ID: NCT01610596

Last Updated: 2016-05-13

Results Overview

Overall disease severity (ODS) will be recorded at baseline, Day 8, and Day 15 on a 0 (clear) to 4 (severe/very severe) point scale. The primary efficacy endpoint was the percentage of subjects with ODS treatment "success" at end of treatment (Day 15). Success was defined as a grade of 0 or 1 on the ODS scale.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 15

Population: Analysis shown is the Intent-to-treat (ITT) population, defined as all enrolled participants who were randomized and applied at least one dose of the test article.

Overall disease severity (ODS) will be recorded at baseline, Day 8, and Day 15 on a 0 (clear) to 4 (severe/very severe) point scale. The primary efficacy endpoint was the percentage of subjects with ODS treatment "success" at end of treatment (Day 15). Success was defined as a grade of 0 or 1 on the ODS scale.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 8 and 15

Population: Analysis shown is based on the ITT population.

The proportion of subjects rated a "treatment success" for each of the clinical signs and symptoms of psoriasis: scaling, erythema, plaque elevation and pruritis. "Treatment success" is defined as a score of 0 or 1 on a five-point scale ranging from 0 = clear to 4 = severe/very severe.
