What is being measured

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

  1. The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Daivobet® Ointment

    The Total Clinical Score is the sum of three psoriasis scores (redness, thickness, and scaliness) and will range from 0 (best) to 9 (worst)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 weeks

  2. The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Betnovat® Ointment

    The Total Clinical Score is the sum of three psoriasis scores (redness, thickness, and scaliness) and will range from 0 (best) to 9 (worst)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 weeks

  3. The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Elocon Ointment

    The Total Clinical Score is the sum of three psoriasis scores (redness, thickness, and scaliness) and will range from 0 (best) to 9 (worst)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 weeks

  4. The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Daivobet Ointment Vehicle

    The Total Clinical Score is the sum of three psoriasis scores (redness, thickness, and scaliness) and will range from 0 (best) to 9 (worst)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 weeks

  5. The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Dermovat Ointment

    The Total Clinical Score is the sum of three psoriasis scores (redness, thickness, and scaliness) and will range from 0 (best) to 9 (worst)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 weeks

  6. The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Diprosalic Ointment

    The Total Clinical Score is the sum of three psoriasis scores (redness, thickness, and scaliness) and will range from 0 (best) to 9 (worst)

    Measured: Baseline and 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Daivobet® ointment, Betnovat® ointment and Diprosalic ointment in people with Psoriasis Vulgaris, run by LEO Pharma at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 12 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Mar 2011). 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?

The Absolute Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) at End of Treatment Compared to Baseline for Daivobet® Ointment (time frame: Baseline and 3 weeks). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Mar 2025.
