Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants That Experienced Adverse Events (AEs), Severe Adverse Events, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Frequency and severity of AEs (local and systemic)
Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Laboratory Values, Biomarker Values, ECG Results or Vital Signs
Changes in laboratory values, biomarker values, ECG results and vital signs were assessed for clinical relevance.
Number of Participants With Irritation as Assessed by the Local Tolerability Scale
At each specified study visit, the Investigator (or qualified evaluator) assessed the presence and overall degree of irritation at the application sites, according to the LTS. The score will ideally represent an 'average' across all application sites. To the fullest extent possible, the same Investigator (or designated evaluator) will perform all tolerability assessments for an individual participant throughout the study.
Tapinarof and Tapinarof Sulfate (Metabolite) Plasma PK Parameters on Day 1 and Day 29: AUCo-tau
The AUC in plasma is a pharmacokinetic parameter that describes the overall exposure of the drug.
Tapinarof and Tapinarof Sulfate (Metabolite) Plasma PK Parameters on Day 1 and Day 29: Cmax
The Cmax is a pharmacokinetic parameter that describes the highest concentration of the drug that is achieved after dosing.
Tapinarof and Tapinarof Sulfate (Metabolite) Plasma PK Parameters on Day 1 and Day 29: Tmax and t1/2
The tmax is a pharmacokinetic parameter that describes the time point at which the highest concentration of the drug is achieved after dosing.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in QTcF (ΔQTcF) at Each Post-treatment Time Point on the Sampling Day With the Higher Cmax (Day 1 or Day 29)
Identify clinically relevant effect of tapinarof on cardiac conduction
Analysis of the Relationship Between Plasma Concentration and ΔQTcF
The relationship between tapinarof plasma concentrations and ∆QTcF was investigated using a linear mixed-effects modeling approach with ΔQTcF as the dependent variable. A linear model with an intercept was fitted for tapinarof plasma concentrations, which represented the data in an acceptable way. The slope of tapinarof plasma concentration in the concentration-QTc relationship was estimated.
Mean Change From Baseline to Day 29 in Physician's Global Assessment (PGA)
The PGA is a clinical tool for assessing the current state/severity of a subject's psoriasis at a given timepoint. It is a static 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity, as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, scaling, and plaque thickness/elevation as guidelines. Higher PGA scores represent more severe disease. This scale ranges from 0 to 5, with 0 = best outcome.
Mean Change From Baseline to Day 29 Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scoring system combines the assessment of lesion severity and extent of affected area into a single score: 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). The body is divided into 4 areas for scoring (head, arms, trunk, and legs). Each area is assessed for 3 signs: erythema (redness), induration (plaque thickness), and scale. The severity of each sign in each body area is assessed and scored independently using a 5-point scale, where 0=none, 1=slight, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe. Each area is also assessed for percent of skin involved: 0 = (0%), 1 = (1-<10%), 2 = (10-<30%), 3 = (30-<50%), 4 = (50 -<70%), 5 = (70-<90%), 6 = (90-100%). The individual scores are multiplied by a weighted factor for each body region; the sum of these scores gives the overall PASI score. Higher scores indicate more severe disease. PASI is a static assessment made without reference to previous scores.
Mean Change From Baseline to Day 29 in Percent of Total Body Surface Area (%BSA) Affected
The assessment of %BSA affected is an estimate of the percentage of total involved skin with psoriasis. For the purpose of clinical estimation, the total palmar surface of the subject's palm and digits may be assumed to be approximately equivalent to 1% BSA. The %BSA affected by psoriasis will be evaluated (from 0% to 100%). %BSA is a static assessment made without reference to previous scores.
