Brief Summary

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

ENDURE is a prospective, observational study aimed to document clinical response and side effects associated with compounded psoriasis medications when prescribed as routine care. As a secondary initiative, this study will assess methotrexate systemic absorption and toxicity in patients prescribed a methotrexate-containing compounded formulation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this prospective, observational study, change in psoriasis plaque appearance, per the Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) tool, will be evaluated after using a topical psoriasis cream containing at least 3 of the following: corticosteroid, methotrexate, vitamin D3 or synthetic analog, retinoid acid, or urea, or a topical shampoo or spray containing a corticosteroid and vitamin D3 or synthetic analog. The change in quality of life will be assessed during all visits using the Skindex-16 assessment tool. In patients receiving a methotrexate-containing formulation, a sub-study will be available as an option, where laboratory values (methotrexate levels, complete blood count, liver function tests, etc.) will be obtained to confirm that methotrexate absorption is negligible.
