About this study

Official title: Multi-center, Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo Parallel-Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Total Glucosides of Paeony Combined With Acitretin Capsules to Treat Psoriasis Vulgaris

This is a randomized, double blind, placebo parallel-controlled, multi-center clinical trial. Patients with psoriasis vulgaris were randomly divided into the experiment group (treated with TGP combined with acitretin capsules) and control group (treated with placebo combined with acitretin capsules).The treatment lasted 12 weeks. The efficacy and safety were evaluated at the baseline, as well as 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the beginning of treatment.The investigator's hypothesis TGP combined with Acitretin Capsulesin is more safe and effective than Acitretin Capsulesin to treat Psoriasis Vulgaris.

What is being measured

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

  1. Reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index

    After 12 weeks treatment, relative to baseline, the proportion of patients achieving a 50% reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 50 (PASI50) was 90% in the experiment group and 70.5% in the control group (P<0.05).

    Measured: week 0 and week 12

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. incidence of elevated Alanine aminotransferase

    After 12 weeks treatment, relative to baseline,the incidence of elevated Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was 6.8% in the experiment group and 22.2% in the control group (P<0.05).

    Measured: week 0 and week12
