Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of AN2728 Ointment, 5%, compared to Ointment Vehicle in the treatment of plaque type psoriasis.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind bilateral design. Patients will apply the test articles, AN2728 Ointment, 5%, and Ointment Vehicle twice daily. The assigned study medication will be applied to two comparable treatment targeted plaques identified at baseline. One test article will be applied to one plaque and the other test article to an anatomically distinct plaque. All efficacy evaluations will be measured from only the two plaques identified at the baseline visit.

Inclusion criteria

1. Male or female \>18 years of age at time of enrollment. 2. The clinical diagnosis of stable plaque psoriasis. 3. Two target plaques of similar severity 1. ≥ 5 cm2 but ≤ 100 cm2 computed by multiplying the greatest diameter of the plaque by the diameter of the plaque perpendicular to the greatest diameter. 2. Bilaterally located (right/left) plaques on the arms or plaques located on the upper and lower trunk. Plaques located on the trunk were to be separated by at least 10 cm and designated by the Investigator as either left/right or front/back. 3. Target plaque severity score of 2-4 (mild to moderate). 4. Normal or not clinically significant screening laboratory results. 5. Subjects who were willing and able to apply study drug as directed, comply with study instructions, and commit to all follow-up visits. 6. Subjects who had the ability to understand, agree to and sign the study Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to initiation of any protocol related procedures.

Exclusion criteria

1.

Known sensitivity to any of the components of the study medication 4. Spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating psoriatic plaques or pustular/exfoliative, guttate, erythrodermic or other non-plaque form of psoriasis 5. Concomitant use of topical or systemic therapies that might alter the course of psoriasis 6. Females of child bearing potential. Females must be post-menopausal (based on FSH levels) or surgically sterile (oophorectomy) 7. Washout periods of: 1. Topical drugs that might alter the course of psoriasis: 2 weeks 2.

Percentage of Participants With Greater Decrease in Overall Target Plaque Severity Score (OTPSS) at Day 28Day 28OTPSS is a scale to assess plaque severity. Each target plaque was scored on a severity rating scale ranging from 0 (no plaque) to 8 (very severe plaque), where higher score indicated more severity of a plaque. In this outcome measure, percentage of participants with reduced OTPSS at Day 28 were reported and comparison of ointment and vehicle treated plaque was given as 'Ointment treated plaque versus (vs.) vehicle treated plaque' and 'Vehicle treated plaque vs. ointment treated plaque'.
