  • Subjects who are - in the opinion of the investigator - unreliable, and/or non-compliant, and/or who present with any condition or treatment (including cosmetic products) that may interfere with psoriasis or the conduct of the trial
  • Participation in any other clinical trial within 30 days prior or during this trial
  • Subject is an adult under guardianship, hospitalised, deprived of freedom or unable to communicate or cooperate with the investigator due to language or mental problems

What is being measured

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

  1. Decrease in thickness of infiltration

    measurement will be performed by ultrasound, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in clinical score

    scoring will be performed by investigator, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

  2. Change in erythema score

    scoring will be performed by investigator, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

  3. Change in Induration score

    scoring will be performed by investigator, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

  4. Change in Scaling score

    scoring will be performed by investigator, comparing data from baseline (day1) vs end of trial (day15)

    Measured: 15 days

  5. Number of skin reactions per patient as a measure of safety and tolerability

    daily scoring will be performed by investigator

    Measured: 15 days

  6. Number of AEs per patients as a measure of safety and tolerability

    reporting will be performed by investigator

    Measured: 15 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Experimental: LAS 41004 dosage 1, Experimental: LAS 41004 dosage 2 and Experimental: LAS 41004 dosage 3 in people with Psoriasis, run by Almirall, S.A. at 1 site in Germany.

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 12 inclusion and 18 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 29 May 2015. 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 Germany. 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?

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?

Decrease in thickness of infiltration (time frame: 15 days). 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 29 May 2015.
