Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
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)
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 Measures
Number of Participants in Each Category of the Scalp Psoriasis Individual Sign Scores (Scaling, Erythema and Plaque Elevation) at Baseline and 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.
Number of Participants in Each Category of the Extent of Scalp Involvement Index at Baseline and Week 4
Number of participants in each category of the Extent of Scalp Involvement Index at end of treatment (week 4 or week 2 if GSS was Clear). The Extent of Scalp Involvement Index is evaluated on a scale from 0 - 5 (0 = None, 2 = <20%, 2 = 20-39%, 3 = 40-59%, 4 = 60-79% and 5 = 80-100%) with 0 being best and 5 being worst.
Number of Participants in Each Category of Pruritus at Baseline and Week 4
Number of participants in each category of Pruritus at end of treatment (week 4 or week 2 if GSS was Clear). Pruritus is evaluated on a scale from 0 - 3 (0 = None, 1 = Mild, 2 = Moderate and 3 = Severe) with 0 being best and 3 being worst.
