Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of plaque psoriasis, patients 2-17 years of age with ≥ 10% BSA affected and patients age 18 years of age or older with ≥ 20% BSA affected
  2. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 3 (moderate) or 4 (severe) at baseline for the overall disease severity.
  3. Results from a cortisol response test that are considered normal and show no evidence of any abnormal HPA function or adrenal response

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients under 2 years of age.
  2. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) of less than 3 (moderate) or greater than 4 (severe) at baseline.
  3. Current diagnosis of types of psoriasis other than stable plaque psoriasis (i.e., erythrodermic, exfoliative or pustular psoriasis).

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

DSXS1503

Arm Description

administered twice daily for 28 days in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With HPA Axis Suppression
Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal (HPA) Axis Response to Cosyntropin demonstrating the absence or presence of adrenal suppression at the end of treatment. HPA Axis suppression is defined as a 30 minute post CortrosynTM injection level cortisol level of ≤ 18 mcg/100ml.
