About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Psoriasis
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female subjects 18 to 65 years of age with stable plaque-type psoriasis, plaques of adequate size to allow for evaluation of 5 test fields, on comparable body area; thickness of the echo-lucent band under the entry echo as assessed by ultrasound of at least 200 μm
Exclusion Criteria:
- Positive testing in urine drug screening
- Pregnancy or lactation
- A history of relevant diseases, especially-incompletely cured pre-existing diseases for which it could have been assumed that the absorption, distribution, excretion and effect of the study drugs would not be normal
- Volunteers with severe kidney or liver disease
- Volunteers with concurrent/acute viral infections in the test field areas (e.g. herpes simplex, varicella) or other specific skin alterations (skin tuberculosis, syphilitic skin lesions)
- Severe disease within the last 4 weeks prior to the first study drug administration
- Volunteers with known hypersensitivity reaction when applying adhesive bandages
- Volunteers who were treated with any systemic therapy for psoriasis (e.g. methotrexate, cyclosporin A, etretinate, acitretin, PUVA, fumaric acid) three months prior to screening
- Volunteers who were treated with any systemic corticosteroids (oral, intramuscular, high-dose inhaled, rectal) 4 weeks prior to screening
- Volunteers who were treated with any local therapy for psoriasis (e.g. corticosteroids, calcitriol analogues, dithranol, phototherapy) 2 weeks prior to screening
- Target plaques localized on head and neck, elbows and knees, palms and soles, nails and folds or other mechanically strained sites
- Volunteers with guttate or pustular psoriasis
- Volunteers with spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating plaque-type psoriasis
- Volunteers with erythrodermic type of psoriasis
- Volunteers with severe recalcitrant psoriasis requiring additional therapy
- Presence of hepatitis B virus surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibodies or human immune deficiency virus antibodies
- Clinico-chemical parameters of clinically significant deviation
- Volunteers with a known allergy to any of the excipients of the trial medication

10 µL of mapracorat was applied on 6 days a week for up to 4 weeks onto the corresponding test fields (3 cm2) of the affected skin plaques (15 cm2 were treated in total [diameter 2 cm, distance to next test field at least 2 cm]). 200 µL of mapracorat was applied on 6 days a week for up to 4 weeks onto the defined test fields (12.5 cm2 were treated in total [diameter 1.8 cm, distance to next test field at least 1.5 cm]) occluded with Finn chambers of the non-lesional skin areas of 2.5 cm2
