About this study

Official title: A Proof of Concept, Investigator Blinded Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a Novel Combination of a Home Narrow Band Ultraviolet B (NBUVB) Lamp With an Occlusive Dressing in Adult Subjects With Mild to Moderate Psoriasis Vulgaris

This is a proof of concept, investigator blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination of a home narrow band ultraviolet B (NBUVB) lamp with an occlusive dressing in adult subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis vulgaris. Four interpatient arms will be used to compare the efficacy of combination of NBUVB with an occlusive dressing to the light alone and to dressing alone and no treatment. Ten patients will be enrolled in this 6 weeks study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Target Plaque Assessment

    Local efficacy will be evaluated with a 0-4 point scale for three signs and symptoms of psoriasis: erythema, plaque elevation, and scaling.

    Measured: 6 weeks

  2. Local Skin Reactions

    Tolerability will be evaluated through assessment of selected local signs and symptoms at the article-application site: Burning/stinging, pain and pruritus. Each sign or symptom will be graded at Baseline and each subsequent visit using a 0-3 scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, or 3 = severe).

    Measured: 6 weeks
