Children and adolescents (aged 2 to 17) may qualify for a research trial testing an investigational topical treatment for Plaque Psoriasis. Eligible participants must have a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis and stable disease for at least 3 months prior to the Baseline visit. Individuals must also have psoriasis on 3% or more of their body surface area (BSA).
Participants will receive investigational topical treatment (active study drug). Investigational medication and study-related assessments will be provided at no cost. Reimbursement for study-related expenses may be provided.
Study participation will last about 17 weeks (for those completing the primary treatment phase only) and involve about 7 visits to the study centre, plus 2 phone visits. For those who choose to participate in the optional long-term extension phase, study participation will last about 57 weeks and involve about 17 visits to the study centre, plus 2 phone visits.
