Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of microneedle patch on the psoriatic plaques.

Detailed Description

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

As a novel minimally invasive approach, microneedle-mediated transdermal drug delivery has received increased attention. Microneedle patch effectively penetrates the skin barrier of the stratum corneum and create efficient pathways for the delivery of drugs.

A randomized controlled trial based on split-body was planned to evaluate the efficacy of enhanced transdermal delivery of topical agent by hyaluronic acid (HA)-fabricated microneedle patch in psoriatic plaques. Six psoriatic plaques in a patient will be randomized to either microneedle HA patch, patch, or control groups. Patch group is planned for rule out the occlusion effect of patches. All lesions will be treated with topical agent and patches daily for 2-week period. The severity of psoriasis will be grated with modified PASI score and the clinical improvement will be assessed as % from baseline every week. Overall 20 patients with 120 psoriatic plaques will be enrolled.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

All lesions were treated with topical calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate ointment only.

Daivobet® containing the active ingredients calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate was applied.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Patch

Intervention Type DEVICE

The patch were made of hyaluronic acid with no microneedles to rule out the occlusion effect of microneedle HA patch. All lesions were treated with topical calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate ointment with patches.

Daivobet® containing the active ingredients calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate was applied.

The hyaluronic acid patch was prepared at Raphas Co., Ltd. (Cheonan, South Korea) for this clinical trial, not for sale.

Microneedle patch group

All lesions were treated with topical calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate ointment with microneedle HA patches.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Microneedle HA patch

Intervention Type DEVICE

The microneedle HA patch were made of hyaluronic acid with microneedles which can enhance the drug permeation. All lesions were treated with topical calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate ointment with microneedle HA patches.

Microneedle HA patch (Therapass®, RMD-6.5A) was prepared at Raphas Co., Ltd. (Cheonan, South Korea).

Daivobet® containing the active ingredients calcipotriol - betamethasone dipropionate was applied.
