Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Evaluate the efficacy and safety of a topical dimeticone formulation (Loion®) compared 10% saliclylic acid in octyldodecanol with 15% Macrogol-4-laurylether for the removal of psoriatic plaques in patients with chronic psoriasis capitis (scalp psoriasis). ;Secondary Objective: ;Primary end point(s): - Proportion of treatment responders in scaling (= = 0.5 points im-provement) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 3±1, 7 and 14 days in comparison to baseline (determined directly before start of treatment).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Improvement of scaling by > 50% -sPGA -Mean value comparison of scaling after treatment -Comparison of the efficacy and safety of Loion® to SA-Gel (non-inferiority) -Amount of Loion® applied per application: in total and per representative defined target area -Time to treatment response;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 3±1, 7 and 14 days in comparison to baseline (determined directly before start of treatment).
