Official title: Calcipotriol Plus Betamethasone Dipropionate Gel Compared to Betamethasone Dipropionate in the Gel Vehicle, Calcipotriol in the Gel Vehicle and the Gel Vehicle Alone in Psoriasis Vulgaris

The objective of the study is to compare the use of calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate gel with betamethasone dipropionate in the gel vehicle, calcipotriol in the gel vehicle and the gel vehicle alone when used in patients with psoriasis vulgaris on the trunk and/or limbs. Patients will be treated once daily for up to 8 weeks.

The primary response criterion is the number of patients with controlled disease at week 8.

Being tested
Calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate (LEO 80185) gel

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate (LEO 80185) gelDrug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Patients with "controlled disease" (minimal or clear and at least two steps change from baseline) according to the investigators' global assessment of disease severity at week 4 and week 8.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The absolute and percentage change in PASI from baseline to week 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

  2. Patients with "controlled disease" according to the investigators' global assessment of disease severity at week 1, 2, and 6.

  3. Patients with "clear" or "very mild" disease by the patient's global assessment of disease severity at week 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate (LEO 80185) gel in people with Psoriasis Vulgaris, run by LEO Pharma at 5 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Canada, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patients with "controlled disease" (minimal or clear and at least two steps change from baseline) according to the investigators' global assessment of disease severity at week 4 and week 8.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Feb 2025.
