Clinical Study on the Medical Devices PROXERA PSOMED 20 and PROXERA PSOMED 40 for the Treatment of Plaque Psoriasis and Non-pustular Palmoplantar Psoriasis

The Target Lesion Score assesses the severity of a representative psoriatic plaque based on erythema, induration (thickness), and scaling. Each component is scored from 0 to 4, and the total score ranges from 0 to 12, with higher scores indicating greater lesion severity. In participants treated with PROXERA PSOMED 20, the outcome compares the change from baseline to Week 4 in the treated target plaque with the change in the contralateral untreated control plaque.

The local modified Palmoplantar Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (mPPPASI) assesses erythema, induration, scaling, and extent of involvement in each target palm or sole area. Erythema, induration, and scaling are each scored from 0 to 4, while extent of involvement is scored from 0 to 6. For each target site, the local score is calculated as (erythema + induration + scaling) × extent and ranges from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. In participants treated with PROXERA PSOMED 40, the primary analysis compares the change from baseline to Week 8 in the treated target area with the change in the contralateral untreated control area.

The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) assesses overall psoriasis severity by combining the extent of body surface involvement with the severity of erythema, induration, and scaling across different body regions. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating greater overall psoriasis severity. This outcome measures the change in PASI score from baseline to Week 4 in participants with non-palmoplantar plaque psoriasis treated with PROXERA PSOMED 20. The assessment is used to determine whether changes observed in the target plaque occur independently of, or in parallel with, changes in overall psoriasis severity.

The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a 10-item questionnaire that assesses the impact of skin disease on the participant's daily life, including symptoms, daily activities, leisure, work or school, personal relationships, and treatment. Each item is scored from 0 to 3. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a greater negative impact on quality of life. This outcome measures the change in DLQI score from baseline to Week 4 in participants treated with PROXERA PSOMED 20.

Transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is measured non-invasively using the DermaLab Combo system to assess epidermal barrier function. Higher TEWL values indicate greater water loss and greater impairment of the skin barrier. This outcome compares the change from baseline to Week 4 in the PROXERA PSOMED 20-treated target plaque with the change in the contralateral untreated control plaque.

All solicited and unsolicited adverse events, adverse device effects, and serious adverse events occurring during treatment or follow-up will be recorded and assessed by the investigator. Particular attention will be given to local reactions such as burning, erythema, itching, skin rash, irritation, and allergic contact dermatitis. The outcome is the number and proportion of participants experiencing at least one adverse event.
