Study groupRoleWhat they receive
U0267 FoamExperimentalU0267 is a vitamin D3 analog (calcipotriene) foam. It is applied twice a day for 8 weeks to psoriasis lesions on the body.
Receives: Drug: U0267
Vehicle foamPlacebo comparatorVehicle foam is the same as the U0267 foam except that it does not have the active ingredient. It is applied twice a day for 8 weeks to psoriasis lesions on the body.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Treatment Success, Assessed Per the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA)

    Assessment (on a scale of 0 to 4) was made as a visual average of all lesions, except those on the face/scalp. 0=clear; minor residual discoloration; no erythema/scaling/plaque thickness (PT). 1=almost clear; occasional fine scale/faint erythema/barely perceptible PT. 2=mild; fine scales predominate; light red coloration/mild PT. 3=moderate; coarse scales predominate; moderate red coloration/moderate PT. 4=severe; thick tenacious scale predominates; deep red coloration/severe PT. Treatment success=ISGA score 0 or 1, and a minimum improvement in the ISGA score of 2 grades from BL to week 8.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Subjects With a Target Lesion Score of 0 or 1 for Erythema and at Least a 2-grade Improvement From Baseline at Week 8

    Erythema was assessed on a 6-point scale. 0=no evidence of erythema; hyperpigmentation may be present. 1=faint erythema. 2=light red coloration. 3=moderate red coloration. 4=bright red coloration. 5=dusky to deep red coloration.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Number of Subjects With a Target Lesion Score of 0 or 1 for Scaling and at Least a 2 Grade Improvement From Baseline at Week 8

    Scaling was assessed on a 6-point scale. 0=no evidence of scaling. 1=minimal; occasional fine scale over less than 5% of the lesion. 2=mild, fine scales predominate. 3=moderate; course scales predominate. 4=marked; thick non-tenacious scale predominates. 5=severe; very thick tenacious scale predominates.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Number of Subjects With a Target Lesion Score of 0 for Plaque Thickness at Week 8

    Plaque thickness was assessed on a 6-point scale. 0=no evidence of plaque thickness. 1=barely perceptible plaque thickness, approximately 0.5 millimeters (mm). 2=mild plaque thickness, approximately 1 mm. 3=moderate plaque thickness, approximately 1.5 mm. 4=marked plaque thickness, approximately 2 mm. 5=severe plaque thickness, approximately 2.5 mm or more.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Number of Subjects Who Have an ISGA Score of 0 or 1 at Week 8

    Assessment (on a scale of 0 to 4) was made as a visual average of all lesions, except those on the face/scalp. 0=clear; minor residual discoloration; no erythema/scaling/plaque thickness (PT). 1=almost clear; occasional fine scale/faint erythema/barely perceptible PT. 2=mild; fine scales predominate; light red coloration/mild PT. 3=moderate; coarse scales predominate; moderate red coloration/moderate PT. 4=severe; thick tenacious scale predominates; deep red coloration/severe PT.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Number of Subjects Who Have Treatment Success at Week 8 Analyzed by Baseline ISGA (Mild or Moderate)

    Assessment (on a scale of 0 to 4) was made as a visual average of all lesions, except those on the face/scalp. 0=clear; minor residual discoloration; no erythema/scaling/plaque thickness (PT). 1=almost clear; occasional fine scale/faint erythema/barely perceptible PT. 2=mild; fine scales predominate; light red coloration/mild PT. 3=moderate; coarse scales predominate; moderate red coloration/moderate PT. 4=severe; thick tenacious scale predominates; deep red coloration/severe PT. Treatment success=ISGA score 0 or 1, and a minimum improvement in the ISGA score of 2 grades from BL to week 8.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing U0267 in people with Psoriasis, run by Stiefel, a GSK Company at 13 sites in United States.

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 9 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 2 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Dec 2010). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Subjects With Treatment Success, Assessed Per the Investigator's Static Global Assessment (ISGA) (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00688519, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Jan 2017.
