The purpose of this study is to assess patient satisfaction when DFD-01 is used topically
twice a day for moderate plaque psoriasis.


Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patient understands the study procedures and agrees to participate by giving written
informed consent. Patients must be willing to authorize use and disclosure of
protected health information collected for the study.

2. Patient must be at least 18 years of age.

3. Patient must present with a clinical diagnosis of stable (at least 3 months)
plaque-type psoriasis.

4. At least 3% Body Surface Area involved, not including the face, scalp, groin, axillae
and other intertriginous areas.

5. Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use contraception during the
study which can include abstinence with an adequate secondary option should the
patient become sexually active. A female is considered of childbearing potential
unless she is:

1. Postmenopausal for at least 12 months prior to study product administration;

2. Without a uterus and/or both ovaries; or has been surgically sterile (i.e.,
tubal ligation) for at least 6 months prior to study product administration.

Reliable methods of contraception are:

1. Hormonal methods or intrauterine device in use > 90 days prior to study product
administration; or

2. Barrier methods plus spermicide in use at least 14 days prior to study product
administration.

3. Partner has had a vasectomy at least 3 months previous to study product
administration.

4. Essure® that has been in place for at least 3 months before the screening visit
with radiograph confirmation of fallopian tube blockage.

Exception: Sexually inactive female patients of childbearing potential are not
required to practice a reliable method of contraception and may be enrolled at the
Investigator's discretion provided that they are counseled to remain sexually
inactive for the duration of the study and understand the possible risks involved in
getting pregnant during the study. An abstinent female must agree that if she becomes
sexually active during the study she will use an acceptable form of contraception.

All women must complete a urine pregnancy test at the Baseline Visit (Day 1) and the
test result must be negative to be eligible for enrollment.

6. Patient must be in good general health as determined by the investigator and
supported by the medical history and normal or not clinically significant abnormal
vital signs (temperature, blood pressure and pulse).

7. Patient is physically able to apply study product to all affected areas or can obtain
help.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Current diagnosis of unstable forms of psoriasis including guttate, erythrodermic,
exfoliative or pustular psoriasis.

2. Other inflammatory skin disease that may confound the evaluation of the plaque
psoriasis (e.g., atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, tinea corporis).

3. Presence of pigmentation, extensive scarring, pigmented lesions, tattoos or sunburn
that could interfere with the rating of efficacy parameters.

4. History of psoriasis unresponsive to topical treatments.

5. History of organ transplant requiring immunosuppression, HIV, or other
immunocompromised state.

6. Ongoing infection (including viral lesions of the skin, fungal or bacterial skin
infections, ulcers or wounds) or evidence of chronic infectious disease, history of
or current system disorder, organ disorder or other medical condition that in the
Investigator's opinion would place the study patient at undue risk by participation
in the study.

7. Use within 180 days before Baseline Visit of biologic treatment for psoriasis (e.g.,
infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept, ustekinumab, secukinumab, or alefacept).

8. Have received treatment for any type of cancer within 5 years of the Baseline Visit,
except skin cancer and cervical cancer (in situ) that are allowed if at least 1 year
before the Baseline Visit.

9. Use within 60 days before the Baseline Visit of: 1) systemic or topical
immunosuppressive drugs (e.g., tacrolimus, pimecrolimus), 2) systemic antipsoriatic
treatment (e.g., methotrexate, cyclosporine, hydroxyurea) or 3) oral retinoids (e.g.,
acitretin, isotretinoin).

10. Use within 30 days before the Baseline Visit of: 1) systemic corticosteroids, 2)
Ultraviolet light therapy, or 3) systemic anti-inflammatory agents* (e.g.,
mycophenolate mofetil, sulfasalazine, 6-thioguanine). * Over-the-counter strength
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs used for transitional and common aches are
permitted during the study.

11. Use within 14 days before the Baseline Visit of: 1) topical antipsoriatic drugs
(e.g., salicylic acid, anthralin, coal tar, calcipotriene), 2) topical retinoids
(e.g., tazarotene, tretinoin) or 3) topical corticosteroids.

12. History of unresolved or current hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal suppression or
significant endocrine disorder (Cushing's disease or Addison's disease) or
uncontrolled diabetes.

13. Patients who have participated in a study of an investigational drug 30 days before
the Baseline Visit.

14. Patients unable to comply with study requirements.

15. Female patients who are pregnant (or planning to become pregnant) or breast-feeding.

16. History of drug or alcohol abuse within the last year.

17. Planned use of a tanning bed during the study.
