Study Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled Phase 3 study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical tapinarof cream, 1% once daily for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. Approximately 500 adult subjects with plaque psoriasis will be randomized 2:1 to receive either tapinarof cream, 1% or matching vehicle cream once daily for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome

The PGA is a clinical tool for assessing the current state/severity of a subject's psoriasis at a given timepoint. A static 5-point scale is used to grade lesions on the clinical characteristics of erythema, scaling, and plaque thickness/elevation. The PGA ranges from 0 to 4, and is calculated as Clear (0), Almost clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), and Severe (4). Higher PGA scores represent more severe disease. Analyses were done using multiple imputation.
