  1. Decrease in the Total Combined Erythema and Scaling Score (Minimum of 0 and Maximum of 65) of All Treated Lesions.

    Percentage of patients who achieved at least a 50% decrease from baseline in the total combined Erythema and Scaling score of all treated lesions at Week 4. A decrease is an improvement in measurement of erythema and scaling of the lesions.

    Measured: Up to Week 4

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?

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Decrease in the Total Combined Erythema and Scaling Score (Minimum of 0 and Maximum of 65) of All Treated Lesions. (time frame: Up to Week 4). 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 NCT01597050, 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.
