Brief summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Enstilar Foam (calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate) for the treatment of nail psoriasis.

Detailed description

Eligible subjects will be provided once daily Enstilar Foam (calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate). Subjects will be instructed to apply a thin layer on the nail plate, around the nail plate and under the nail plate. The subject will be instructed to apply one application at night immediately before bed and not wash their hands before morning. All subjects who completed the 6-month treatment will be followed for 1 month after discontinuation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Improvement in Nail Thickness of Target Nail at Week 24 Compared to Baseline.24 WeeksThe target nail will be defined as the nail that has the highest nail thickness score at baseline. This nail will remain the target nail for the remainder of the study. Number of participants achieving clinical improvement as measure by the nail thickness (hyperkeratosis) measurement at week 24 compared to baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Modified mNAPSI (Modified Nail Area Psoriasis Severity Index) Score of Fingernails at Week 24 Compared to Baseline24 weeksAll fingernails will be analyzed for the outcome measure. mNAPSI is an objective scoring system administered by trained healthcare providers. The range of possible scores is 0 to 130, with a score of 0 indicating absence of nail disease and a score of 130 indicating the most severe nail disease. A decrease in mNAPSI score indicates improvement. The mNAPSI 75 response is defined as at least 75% reduction from baseline in mNAPSI
