Consider a research study testing an investigational topical cream
The investigational topical cream being tested will be applied to the skin. The knowledge gained from this study may help others with plaque psoriasis in the future. Eligible participants will receive study related tests at no cost.
The clinical research team will discuss all study risks with you and answer any additional questions you may have.
This study will test an investigational topical cream to see how it effects the signs and symptoms of mild or moderate plaque psoriasis. It will also measure how much of the investigational topical cream the blood absorbs and how well it is tolerated.
The investigational topical cream is designed to work with the immune system to reduce skin swelling.
During the 12-week treatment period, you will be asked to apply the investigational topical cream either once or twice per day. You will have a 75% chance of receiving the investigational topical cream and a 25% chance of receiving the vehicle (placebo) cream. The vehicle (placebo) cream in this study will be a cream which looks like the investigational topical cream, but does not contain any active ingredients.
If you agree to participate and then change your mind for any reason, you are able to stop at any time.
The investigational topical cream aims to provide some relief of plaque psoriasis symptoms.
If you are interested in participating, you will go through a screening to determine your eligibility. If you qualify and choose to participate, you will be asked to provide blood or urine samples. If you are enrolled, the screening period may last anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks. The treatment period for the investigational topical cream will last 12 weeks with approximately a 4 week follow-up period. There will be approximately 11 visits to the study site.
The following is a list of some of the assessments that will be conducted upon enrollment in this study:
You will also be required to not eat or drink anything (apart from water) for 8-10 hours before the first day of the study.
Plaque psoriasis is a skin condition that causes raised, red or white scaly patches on the skin. Symptoms often include itching, burning and stinging.
Treatment options include topical treatments, light therapy, injectable and oral medications.
