A Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Tolerability and Efficacy of Enstilar® (Calcipotriene and Betamethasone Dipropionate) Foam in the Treatment of Chronic Plaque Psoriasis in Patients With Skin of Color

This will be a single-center, randomized, double-blinded, vehicle-controlled clinical study
to determine the efficacy of Enstilar® foam, a combination of calcipotriene and betamethasone
dipropionate 0.005%/0.064%, in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris in skin of color (FST
IV-VI). This study will also evaluate the degree of erythema versus hyperpigmentation in
psoriasis plaques in skin of color (and its change with Enstilar ® treatment) as well as the
effect of Enstilar ® on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and quality of life.

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder primarily affecting the skin and joints. This
condition occurs in different ethnic groups worldwide with varying prevalence.

There are notable differences in psoriasis presentation in skin of color groups. Black
patients with psoriasis tend to have less erythema, increased risk of pigmentation, thicker
plaques, more scaling, and greater body involvement as compared to white patients. The
resolution of psoriasis lesions in darker skin types is associated with a higher rate of
dyspigmentation (both hyper- and hypo-pigmentation), which may be more bothersome to patients
than the psoriasis itself. Further, several studies have shown that psoriasis is associated
with greater psychological impact and worse quality of life in non-whites with psoriasis
compared to whites.

Unique issues in skin of color populations make studies dedicated to darker skin types
essential for the treatment of psoriasis in these populations. This study will evaluate the
efficacy of Enstilar® foam, a combination of calcipotriene and betamethasone dipropionate
0.005%/0.064%, in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris in darker skin types. This study will
also evaluate the degree of erythema versus hyperpigmentation in psoriasis plaques as well as
the effect of Enstilar ® on post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and quality of life in skin
of color.

Inclusion Criteria:

involvement), PASI Score ≥ 2, IGA mod 2011 score of 2 or greater (based on scale of
0-4)

- Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test at
Screening and Baseline. While using investigational product and for at least 28 days

with examination of psoriasis lesions

would put the patient at significant risk
