What is being measured

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

  1. The improvement of psoriasis area and severity index scores(PASI scores)

    The improvement of psoriasis area and severity index scores(PASI scores) are a system that assesses the damage of psoriasis severity and treatment response . The system is used to classify and evaluate according to the severity of lesions, areas of skin lesion and body surface area ratio of various body parts.

    Measured: At baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after baseline.

  2. The overall evaluation of the researchers (Physician Global Assessment,PGA)

    On every visiting viewpoint , researchers give a mark of the infiltration / hypertrophy (I), erythema (E) and scales (s) according to the level.PGA scores are acquired by the average of above three kinds of scores.

    Measured: At baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after baseline.

  3. The Symptom score reduce index (SSRI)

    1)According to the improvement of psoriasis area and severity index scores(PASI scores) before and after treatments, the symptom score reduce index (SSRI) was calculated.

    2)The symptom score reduce index (SSRI) = (the PASI scores before treatment - the PASI scores after treatment) / the PASI scores before treatment x 100%

    Measured: 4 weeks after baseline.

  4. Efficiency of treatment

    1)Healing patients : SSRI ≥ 90%, Marked effectiveness patients : 60% < SSRI < 90%, Improvement patients : 20% < SSRI < 60%, ineffectiveness patients :SSRI < 20%.

    2)Efficiency of treatment = (The number of healing patients + The number of markedly effective patients + The number of improved patients ) / total number of patients in this group x 100%

    Measured: 4 weeks after baseline.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Healing rate

    1)Healing patients : SSRI ≥ 90%, Marked effectiveness patients : 60% < SSRI < 90%, Improvement patients : 20% < SSRI < 60%, ineffectiveness patients :SSRI < 20%.

    2)Healing rate = The number of healing patients / total number of patients in this group x 100%

    Measured: 4 weeks after treatment

  2. Markedly effective rate

    1)Healing patients : SSRI ≥ 90%, Marked effectiveness patients : 60% < SSRI < 90%, Improvement patients : 20% < SSRI < 60%, ineffectiveness patients :SSRI < 20%.

    2)Markedly effective rate = The number of markedly effective patients / total number of patients in this group x 100%

    Measured: 4 weeks after treatment

  3. Response rate of PASI (PASI 75) after the treatment of 4 weeks

    Response rate of PASI (PASI 75) after the treatment of 4 weeks = The number of patients whose SSRI are more than 75% / total number of patients x 100%

    Measured: 4 weeks after treatment

  4. Response rate of PGA ( basic fading rate of PGA) after the treatment of 4 weeks

    Response rate of PGA ( basic fading rate of PGA) after the treatment of 4 weeks:patients with 1 score of PGA for the last time/ total number of patients in this group x 100%

    Measured: 4 weeks after treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Compound Clobetasol Propionate Ointment and Calcipotriol Betamethasone Ointment in people with Psoriasis, run by First Hospital of China Medical University.

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 16 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 14 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

The improvement of psoriasis area and severity index scores(PASI scores) (time frame: At baseline, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after baseline.). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Apr 2016.
