Abstract

Background/Objective: Topical corticosteroids (TCS) are the mainstay of psoriasis treatment, but safety concerns might limit use. Combination with tazarotene might optimize efficacy and minimize safety and tolerability concerns. The objective was to investigate safety and efficacy of halobetasol propionate 0.01%/tazarotene 0.045% (HP/TAZ) lotion in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Methods: The study included two multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled Phase III trials (N=418). Subjects randomized (2:1) to HP/TAZ lotion or vehicle once-daily for four weeks with a four-week follow-up. Primary efficacy assessment was measured based on treatment success (at least a two-grade improvement from baseline in IGA score and 'clear' or 'almost clear'). Safety and treatment-emergent AEs were evaluated throughout. Differences in treatment success and safety were evaluated in a number of subpopulations. Results: HP/TAZ lotion demonstrated statistically significant superiority over vehicle as early as Week 2 (p=0.002). By Week 8, 40.6 percent of subjects were treatment successes compared to 9.9 percent on the vehicle (p
