Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate cutaneous tolerability of a newly formulated ointment containing AVX001 in the doses of 3% and 5% with a fall-back dose of 2% comparing to placebo, topically applied at symmetrically affected areas in patients with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis, in a four-week period, with two weeks follow up;Secondary Objective: • Evaluation of safety profile by recording of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory values, and vital signs; • To assess efficacy as the impact on the modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index – modified PASI • Assessing the change in the severity of the disease using Physicians Global Assessment (PGA) score • To assess the efficacy dose responses of AVX001 • To assess a possible systemic accumulation of the drug • To assess Patient Reported Psoriasis-related Pruritus ;Primary end point(s): At end of follow-up period, the rate of patients having experienced local skin reaction adverse events (LSRAE) grade 3 and 4 throughout the study will be calculated at the individual doses and across all doses.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of follow-up period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Ratio of patients experiencing at least 50% improvement of the modified PASI score at end of treatment. 2. Ratio of patients experiencing local skin reaction adverse events (LSRAE) grade 1 and 2 3. Change in PGA score ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of treatment or end of follow up
