Study Summary

This will be a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, vehicle-controlled clinical study to determine the efficacy of Enstilar® foam, a combination of calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate 0.005%/0.064%, in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris in skin of color (FST IV-VI). This study will also evaluate the degree of erythema versus hyperpigmentation in psoriasis plaques in skin of color (and its change with Enstilar ® treatment) as well as the effect of Enstilar ® on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and quality of life.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Provide written, signed and dated informed consent prior to initiating anystudy-related activities.
  • Male or female >18 years of age at the time of screening
  • Fitzpatrick Skin phototype IV-VI, non-white race/ethnicity, including but not limitedto - --African Americans, Asians, Pacific Islanders and Hispanics.
  • Clinical diagnosis of chronic plaque-type psoriasis of the body

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Form of diagnosed psoriasis other than chronic plaque psoriasis (i.e. guttate,erythrodermic, pustular)
  • Diagnosis of other active, ongoing skin diseases or skin infections that may interferewith examination of psoriasis lesions
  • Ongoing use of other psoriasis treatment including but not limited to topical orsystemic corticosteroids, other topical medications (i.e. coal tar), oral or biologicmedications for the treatment of psoriasis, and UV therapy. The following washoutperiods will be required: 2 weeks for topical therapy; 2 weeks for phototherapy; 12weeks for biologic or targeted therapies; 4 weeks for other systemic therapies
  • Use of oral estrogen therapy, excluding oral contraceptive pills
  • Women who are pregnant, nursing, or of child-bearing potential who are unwilling touse appropriate method(s) of contraception.
  • Patients unwilling to limit exposure to UV light
  • Current significant medical problems that, in the discretion of the investigator,would put the patient at significant risk
  • Patients with disorders of calcium metabolism and/or hypercalcemia
  • Use of any investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to randomization, or 5pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics half-lives, if known (whichever is longer)
  • History of allergy to any component of the IP

Study Description

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder primarily affecting the skin and joints. This condition occurs in different ethnic groups worldwide with varying prevalence.

There are notable differences in psoriasis presentation in skin of color groups. Black patients with psoriasis tend to have less erythema, increased risk of pigmentation, thicker plaques, more scaling, and greater body involvement as compared to white patients. The resolution of psoriasis lesions in darker skin types is associated with a higher rate of dyspigmentation (both hyper- and hypo-pigmentation), which may be more bothersome to patients than the psoriasis itself. Further, several studies have shown that psoriasis is associated with greater psychological impact and worse quality of life in non-whites with psoriasis compared to whites.

Unique issues in skin of color populations make studies dedicated to darker skin types essential for the treatment of psoriasis in these populations. This study will evaluate the efficacy of Enstilar® foam, a combination of calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate 0.005%/0.064%, in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris in darker skin types. This study will also evaluate the degree of erythema versus hyperpigmentation in psoriasis plaques as well as the effect of Enstilar ® on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and quality of life in skin of color.
