Clinical Trial Summary

This is a proof of concept, investigator blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination of a home narrow band ultraviolet B (NBUVB) lamp with an occlusive dressing in adult subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis vulgaris. Four interpatient arms will be used to compare the efficacy of combination of NBUVB with an occlusive dressing to the light alone and to dressing alone and no treatment. Ten patients will be enrolled in this 6 weeks study.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Target Plaque Assessment	Local efficacy will be evaluated with a 0-4 point scale for three signs and symptoms of psoriasis: erythema, plaque elevation, and scaling.	6 weeks	No
Primary	Local Skin Reactions	Tolerability will be evaluated through assessment of selected local signs and symptoms at the article-application site: Burning/stinging, pain and pruritus. Each sign or symptom will be graded at Baseline and each subsequent visit using a 0-3 scale (0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, or 3 = severe).	6 weeks	Yes
