Paired target lesions must be in similar anatomic locations (e.g., right and left elbows or right and left knees) and have roughly equal (no more than one point difference) modified PASI scores. Both paired target lesions must have PASI scores equal to or greater than 1.5
  • Any additional diagnoses must, in the investigator's opinion, not preclude the subject from safely participating in this study or interfere with the evaluation of the subject's psoriasis

  • Subject must be reliable and mentally competent to complete study measurements
  • Subject is able to understand and agrees to comply with study requirements, attend study visits, and comply with the restrictions during the study.

  • History of treating potential target lesions differently from one another
  • Topical or intralesional therapies (other than emollients) or UVB phototherapy on potential target lesions within two weeks of starting study treatment
  • Systemic therapy, PUVA phototherapy, or a systemic investigational therapy for psoriasis within 30 days prior to study entry
  • Treatment with topical investigational therapy of the target lesions within 30 days prior to study entry

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of topical medications with new occlusive dressing at baseline, weeks 2, 4, 6, 8.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
