Key clinical point: Proactive management with calcipotriene 50 μg/g and betamethasone dipropionate 0.5 mg/g (Cal/BD) foam vs. reactive management with vehicle foam decreased the severity of patient-reported symptoms in patients with plaque psoriasis.

Major finding: Proactive vs. reactive management during 52-week maintenance showed greater improvement in Psoriasis Symptom Inventory (difference, −0.75; P = .0128) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (difference −0.45; P = .007) and nonsignificantly higher EuroQol-5D for psoriasis (0.89 vs 0.88; P = .0842) scores.

Study details: Findings are from a post hoc analysis of phase 3 PSO-LONG trial including 521 patients with plaque psoriasis randomly assigned to proactive management (Cal/BD foam twice weekly) or reactive management (vehicle foam twice weekly) arms.

Disclosures: The study was sponsored by Leo Pharma. The authors declared serving as consultants, advisory board members, and clinical trial investigators or receiving grants/speaker honoraria from various sources, including LEO Pharma.
