Treatment success was defined as 'clear' or 'very mild' according to the Subject's Global Assessment of disease severity.

Change in Itch as Assessed on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) From Baseline to Week 4From baseline to Week 4Change in itch as assessed on a visual analog scale (VAS) from baseline to Week 4 in the full analysis set, defined as the 106 subjects assigned to treatment. The assessments were made on a 100 mm (100 mm = 10 cm) horizontal VAS anchored at 0 ('no itch at all') and 10 ('worst itch you can imagine'). Subjects were asked to put a vertical line on the scale at the spot he/she felt best reflected the maximal itch intensity during the last 24 hours. The distance from 0 to the subject's indication line was measured in mm, thus higher scores indicated a worse outcome.

Percentage Change in PASI From Baseline to Week 4From baseline to Week 4Percentage change in Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score from baseline to Week 4. Psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) assesses extent and severity of clinical signs of psoriasis vulgaris. Body surface is divided in 4 ares: head (incl. neck), arms (incl. hands), trunk (incl. flexures) and legs (incl. buttocks and feet). Each area is scored from 0-6 for extent of psoriasis and from 0-4 for redness, thickness, and scaliness, and an area PASI score is calculated. The total PASI score is calculated from each area's score. The PASI score ranges from 0 (clear skin) to 72 (maximum disease), a PASI score higher than 10 generally corresponds to moderate-to-severe disease.

Participant flow

Pre-assignment details

117 subjects were enrolled, this number includes all subjects who provided consent for participation in the trial and were screened. Out of the 117 subjects who were screened, 106 subjects met all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria, and were started on treatment in the LEO 90100 arm.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
LEO 90100
LEO 90100, an aerosol foam formulation containing calcipotriol 50 mcg/g (as hydrate) and betamethasone 0.5 mg/g (as dipropionate) was applied once daily to body and scalp psoriasis lesions. This arm contains all 106 subjects that were assigned to treatment and constitutes the full analysis set and the safety analysis set. 33 subjects in this arm performed additional baseline and post-baseline HPA axis assessments and constitute the per protocol analysis set.
