| Main Objective: The primary objective is to compare the treatment effect of ASF-1096 cream 0.5% to ASF-1096 Cream Placebo on a newly developed DLE lesion after 8 weeks of twice daily, topical treatment.;Secondary Objective: To compare the treatment effect of ASF-1096 cream 0.5% to ASF-1096 cream placebo with regard to the response/rating on/of: •Erythema •Scaling/hypertrophy •Dyspigmentation •Scarring/Atrophy/Panniculitis •Induration •Pain •Itching •Lesion area •General improvement assessed by the investigator •Global improvement assessed by the patient after 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks of treatment. To compare and describe the safety profile in the ASF-1096 cream 0.5% and ASF-1096 cream placebo groups. ;Primary end point(s): Primary endpoint for this study is the efficacy of ASF-1096 cream 0.5% compared to the ASF-1096 cream placebo using the area under the curve (AUC) of the local CLASI score. For analysis of the primary end point the null hypothesis H0: The mean AUCs of the local CLASI score in the groups treated with ASF-1096 cream 0.5% and the ASF-1096 cream placebo are the same. will be tested versus the alternative hypothesis H1: The mean AUCs of the local CLASI score in the groups treated with ASF-1096 cream 0.5% and the ASF-1096 cream placebo are not the same. | — |
