What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) of the Clinical Symptoms Compared to Baseline (Day 1)

    The (sub)investigator made the following clinical assessments by use of the scale below:

    Score; Intensity; Description

    Erythema:

    0; No evidence; Normal skin color 0.5; Doubtful or very mild 1.0; Mild; Pink light red 1.5; Mild to moderate 2.0; Moderate; Red 2.5; Moderate to severe 3.0; Severe; Intense red

    Scaling:

    0; No evidence; No scaling 0.5; Doubtful or very mild 1.0; Mild; Slight roughness, mainly fine scales 1.5; Mild to moderate 2.0; Moderate; Coarse scaling 2.5; Moderate to severe 3.0; Severe; Coarse, thick scales

    Infiltration:

    0; No evidence 0.5; Doubtful or very mild 1.0; Mild Slight definite infiltration 1.5; Mild to moderate 2.0; Moderate; Moderate infiltration 2.5; Moderate to severe 3.0; Severe; Very marked infiltration

    The TCS was defined as the sum of erythema plus scaling plus thickness scores. The TCS therefore ranged from 0 (all symptoms absent) to 9 (all symptoms severe).

    Measured: From baseline (Day 1) to end of treatment (Day 29)

  6. Ultrasonography: Change in Lesions Thickness From Baseline Measured by Ultrasound

    The lesion thickness was measured by ultrasound at baseline, Day 8, Day 15, Day 22 and end of treatment.

    Measured: At Day 8, Day 15, Day 22 and end of treatment

  7. Biomarkers by Immunochemistry

    3 skin biopsies (punch biopsies of 3 mm) per participant were taken on Day 29 after the clinical scoring and ultrasound measurement.

    Cells counted per mm^2 were cells that were positive for the indicated biomarker.

    Measured: At end of treatment

  8. Biomarkers by Immunochemistry: Epidermal Differentiation

    3 skin biopsies (punch biopsies of 3 mm) per participant were taken on Day 29 after the clinical scoring and ultrasound measurement.

    Measured: At end of treatment

  9. Biomarkers by Immunochemistry: Epidermal Proliferation

    3 skin biopsies (punch biopsies of 3 mm) per participant were taken on Day 29 after the clinical scoring and ultrasound measurement.

    By measurement of the cell-cycle marker, Ki-67 protein, an evaluation of the degree of skin cell proliferation and thereby epidermal proliferation could be obtained. Cells counted per mm^2 were cells that were positive for the indicated biomarker.

    Measured: At end of treatment

  10. Pathology and Histology by Treatment

    Skin biopsies were taken on Day 29. The evaluation of immunohistochemical sections were performed on cross sections of the skin tissue. The same pathologist did all evaluations, and samples were masked to ensure a blind fashion study. The extent of the following parameters were measured in scored semi-quantitatively (semi) on blinded haematoxylin and eosin (HE) sections. Semi-quantitative scoring was categorized as No (0), mild (1), moderate (2), marked (3) or severe (4). In evaluating the morphology of epidermis (Stratum corneum and Stratum granulosum) the tissue was classified by the characteristics seen below:

    • Morphology of epidermis
    • Stratum corneum (semi (extent of))
    • Stratum granulosum (semi (extent of))
    • Parakeratosis (semi (extent of))
    • Infiltration of inflammatory cells (semi (extent of))

    Measured: At end of treatment

  11. Pathology and Histology by Treatment: Epidermal Thickness

    Skin biopsies were taken on Day 29. The evaluation of immunohistochemical sections were performed on cross sections of the skin tissue. The same pathologist did all evaluations, and samples were masked to ensure a blind fashion study. In evaluating the morphology of epidermis (Stratum corneum and Stratum granulosum), the tissue was classified by the characteristic epidermal thickness. This was measured in the absolute number of µm measured on blinded haematoxylin and eosin (HE) sections..

    Measured: At end of treatment

  12. Pathology and Histology by Treatment: Frequency of Neutrophil Abscesses

    Skin biopsies were taken on Day 29. The evaluation of immunohistochemical sections were performed on cross sections of the skin tissue. The same pathologist did all evaluations, and samples were masked to ensure a blind fashion study.

    In evaluating the morphology of epidermis (Stratum corneum and Stratum granulosum), the tissue was classified by the characteristic of frequency of neutrophil microabscesses (Monroe´s abscess). This was measured in absolute number of cells that were positive for the marker on blinded haematoxylin and eosin (HE) sections.

    Measured: At end of treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LEO 29102 cream, Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream and LEO 29102 Plus Calcipotriol Cream 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. 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 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 11 Dec 2019). 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?

Change in Total Clinical Score (TCS) of the Clinical Symptoms Compared to Baseline (Day 1) (time frame: From baseline (Day 1) to end of treatment (Day 29)). 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.
