Inclusion Criteria:

Patients of either gender between 18 and 65 years of age.

A clinical diagnosis of scalp psoriasis which is:

  • of an extent of 10% or more of the total scalp area,
  • of at least moderate severity according the investigator's global assessment.

Clinical signs of psoriasis vulgaris on trunk and/or limbs, or earlier diagnosed with psoriasis vulgaris on trunk and/or limbs.

The patient must provide signed and dated informed consent before any study related activity is carried out.

Exclusion Criteria:

Current diagnosis of guttate, erythrodermic, exfoliative or pustular psoriasis.

Known or suspected abnormality of the calcium homeostasis.

Known or suspected severe renal insufficiency or severe hepatic disorders, or severe heart disease.

Females who are pregnant, or of child-bearing potential and wish to become pregnant during the study, or who are breast-feeding.

Females of child-bearing potential with a positive serum or urine pregnancy test at SV2.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Patients With "Controlled Disease" in Terms of "Clear" or "Minimal" According to Investigator's Global Assessment of Disease Severity at Week 4.
Investigators made a global assessment of the disease severity by use of a 6-point scale (Clear, Minimal, Mild, Moderate, Severe and Very Severe). Patients with disease severity classified as Clear or Minimal disease after the treatment period (week 4) were rated as having Controlled disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Patients With "Controlled Disease" in Terms of "Clear" or "Minimal" According to Investigator's Global Assessment of Disease Severity at Week 2
Investigators made a global assessment of the disease severity by use of a 6-point scale (Clear, Minimal, Mild, Moderate, Severe and Very Severe). Patients with disease severity classified as Clear or Minimal disease at week 2 were rated as having Controlled disease.
Patients With "Controlled Disease" in Terms of "Clear" or "Very Mild" According to Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Severity at Week 2.
Patients made a global assessment of the disease severity by use of a 5-point scale (Clear, Very Mild, Mild, Moderate, Severe). Patients classifying their disease as Clear or Very Mild at week 2 were rated as having Controlled disease. This assessment was made prior to the investigator's assessments.
Patients With "Controlled Disease" in Term of "Clear" or "Very Mild" According to Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Severity at Week 4.
Patients made a global assessment of the disease severity by use of a 5-point scale (Clear, Very Mild, Mild, Moderate, Severe). Patients classifying their disease as Clear or Very Mild at week 4 were rated as having Controlled disease. This assessment was made prior to the investigator's assessments.
Patients With Success (Total Sign Score ≤1) at Week 4
Investigators assessed scalp psoriasis lesions in terms of three clinical signs: redness, thickness and scaliness. For each clinical sign a single score, reflecting the average severity of all lesions on the scalp, was derived according to a 5-point scale ranging from 0 to 4 (0= best;4= worst). The sum of the three individual scores (redness, thickness and scaliness) constituted a Total Sign Score of the scalp ranging from 0 to 12 (0= best;12= worst). Patients with a Total sign score of 0 or 1 at week 4 achieved "Success".
For Each Clinical Sign (Redness, Thickness, Scaliness), the Percentage of Patients With Success (Clinical Score=0) at Week 4
Patients With Success (Patient's Itching Score=None) at Week 4
