Brief Summary

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

Researchers want to find out if giving the drug Apremilast in combination with Clobetasol spray can help people clear their moderate to severe plaque psoriasis quicker than if Apremilast is used by itself.

Detailed Description

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

People over age 18 with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who choose to be in the study and pass the four week screening period will visit the study center about 8 times over about 16 weeks. All participants will be given Apremilast, a pill that you take in the morning and at night, and which studies have shown may reduce inflammation and improve psoriasis symptoms. All participants will also be given Clobetasol to spray twice daily for two weeks, then once daily for two weeks, then every other day for two weeks. All drugs and study visits are at no cost to participants.
