Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clobetasol Propionate Spray Versus Vehicle Spray for the Management of Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis of the Scalp (NCT NCT00881868)

NCT ID: NCT00881868

Last Updated: 2022-08-25

Results Overview

Number of participants who were a success or failure based on the Global Severity Score (GSS) of Scalp Psoriasis from baseline to end of treatment (Week 4 or Week 2 if Clear). GSS is evaluated on a scale from 0 - 5 (0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Moderate, 4 = Severe, 5 = Very Severe) with 0 being best and 5 being worst. Success is defined as Clear or Almost Clear. (Note: 5 Clobex Spray subjects and 0 Vehicle Spray subjects were Clear at week 2 and their results were carried forward to week 4).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to week 4

Number of participants in each category of the Scalp Psoriasis Individual Sign Scores (Scaling, Erythema and Plaque Elevation) at baseline and end of treatment (week 4 or week 2 if GSS is Clear). Individual Sign Scores are evaluated on a scale from 0 - 4 (0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Severe and 4 = Very Severe) with 0 being best and 4 being worst.
