Study Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of two concentrations (0.5 percent \[%\] and 1%) and two application frequencies (once a day and twice a day) of GSK2894512 cream for the topical treatment in subjects with plaque psoriasis. Results from this study will be considered when selecting the most appropriate concentration of GSK2894512 cream and dosing frequency in future clinical safety and efficacy studies. This is a multicenter (United States, Canada, and Japan), randomized, double-blind (sponsor-unblind), vehicle-controlled, 6-arm, parallel-group, dose-finding study. Two concentrations of GSK2894512 cream (0.5% and 1%) and a vehicle control cream will be equally randomized and evaluated following application to all psoriasis lesions (except on the scalp) once daily (evening) or twice daily (morning and evening) for 12 weeks. This study will consist of 3 periods: up to 4 weeks screening, 12 weeks double-blind treatment, and 4 weeks post-treatment follow-up. The total duration of subject participation will be approximately 16 to 20 weeks. Approximately 270 adult males and females subjects with plaque psoriasis will be screened in order to have at least 228 randomized subjects (38 subjects for each of the 6 treatment groups) and approximately 204 evaluable subjects overall. Approximately 30 subjects will be randomized in Japan to achieve at least 24 evaluable Japanese subjects.

Primary Outcome

The PGA is a clinical tool for assessing the current state/severity of a participant's psoriasis. It is a static 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity, as determined by the investigator, using the clinical characteristics of erythema, plaque thickness, and scaling as guidelines. Each assessment was made as a visual 'average' of the severity of all treated areas at the time of the assessment. The scores ranged from 0 to 4 where 0 = Clear, 1 = Almost Clear, 2 = Mild, 3 = Mod
