Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
The primary efficacy endpoint is "Treatment Success," a static endpoint assessed at Day 29 after initial PH-10 treatment and defined as 0 or 1 on all Psoriasis Severity Index (PSI) components and 0 or 1 on the Plaque Response scale.
The primary safety endpoint is incidence of adverse experiences, including pain and dermatologic/skin toxicity (incidence, severity, frequency, duration and causality).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Psoriasis Severity Index (PSI) score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment.
Plaque Response score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment.
Pruritus Self-Assessment score changes at each visit from Day 1 pre-treatment.
