ABSTRACT
The acceptability and tolerability of calcipotriol solution was evaluated in an open, single center
study. Patients with mild to moderate scalp psoriasis (and with concurrent psoriatic lesions on
the body) were recruited at one center in the United Kingdom. Patients received caldpotriol
solution (50 J,Lg/ ml) applied twice daily on the scalp without occlusion. A maximum of 60 m1
solution was provided per week. Assessments were made after 2, 4 and 6 weeks.
Eleven patients were included in the study. Five patients withdrew from the study for the
following reasons: Default (3 patients), deterioration of psoriasis (1 patient) and 1 patient
reported that ''the treatment was prunful" and "did not help".
Patient's assessment of the acceptability of caldpotriol solution is shown in the table:

No serious or unexpected adverse events were reported / observed. No patient became
hypercalcaemic.
Mean total sign score (ie sum of scores for redness, thickness and scaling) decreased from a
mean of 8.7 (on a 12-point scale) at start of treatment to 6.0 at end of treatment.
It is concluded that the acceptability, safety and efficacy of twice daily application of caldpotriol
solution (50 J.Lg/ ml) should be further investigated in large, well-controlled studies of patients
with scalp psoriasis.

5 STUDY MEDICATION
CaJdpotriol solution containing 50 JJ,g/mJ of calcipotriol in the following vehicle:
Isopropanol Hydroxypropylcellulose Menthol Sodium citrate Propylene glycol Purified water
Batch no.: 902231101.
Manufactur:ed and certified by leo P~armaceuticaJ Products, Bal1erup, Denmark
August, 1990. Expiry date: February, 1992.
5.1 STORAGE OF STUDY MEDICATION
Study medication was stored at room temperature {i.e. below 25C).
5.2 ADMINISTRATION OF STUDY MEDICATION
The medication was applied twice daily (morning and evening). A few drops were
applied to affected skin on the scalp and rubbed in lightly. Care was taken not to
allow the solution to run on to the face. Patients were instructed to wash their hands
after application to avoid inadvertent spread of .the solution.
Occlusion or other treatment of the scalp was not permitted.

5.3- DURATION OF THERAPY
Six weeks.
5.4 SHAMPOO
A non-medicated shampoo, Sunsilk~- Normal hair, was provided for use during
the study. Hair could be washed 2- 3 times weekly. The hair was to be dried before
applying the study medication.

Concomitant medication for conditions other than psoriasis was continued
throughout the study. No anti psoriatic scalp medication (except that with test drug)
was allowed during the study period. Topical antipsoriatic medication (medium
strength steroids, tars and dithranol) were allowed on the upper extremities, trunk
and lower extremities.
Administration of any concomitant medication was recorded in the Case Record
Form. Use of the non-medicated shampoo was permitted throughout the study.

7.2.1 Patient's assessment
At each visit the patient was asked specific questions regarding the acceptability
of the medication as follows:
''Did the solution sting or bum?" ''Was it painful in any other way?" "Was it
soothing?''
Full details including inddence, duration, severity, chronological relationship to
medication applications were recorded.

7.5 RECORDING OF ADVERSE EVENTS
I) B = Blood. 2
> s-= s.- -
In addition to the specific questions on acceptability of calcipotriol solution (see
7.2.1), the investigator asked the patient: "Since I last saw you, has the treatment
upset you in any way or have you noticed any uncharacteristic skin changes on the
scalp?". If so, the nature, date of onset, duration, severity ("mild~, "moderate" or
"severe~) and causal relationship to trial medication ("unlikely", "possible" or
"probable") were recorded.
The investigator also observed the patient's scalp for any uncharacteristic skin
changes which were recorded.

MC 890 Study Page 17
Any serious and unexpected adverse events were to be reported to the Company
immediately (ie within 24 hours).
8 PRESENTATION OF RESULTS
i) a subjective assessment of the overall acceptability of the solution was
made by the investigator.
ii) all laboratory parameters were compared from baseline to each successive
visit.
iii) all adverse effects were documented. Those which were classified as
"possibly" or "probably" related to study drug were listed.
iv) all spedfic experiences reported were listed. The severity, type and
persistence were documented.
9 COMPLIANCE WITH ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES
9.1 The investigator signed a statement to confirm that:
9.1.1 the study would be conducted to conform with the Declaration of HeJsinki II as
adopted by the 18th World Medical Assembly, 1964, and revised by the 29th World
Medical Assembly, Tokyo, 1975, and Venice, 1983
9.1.2 the patient only participated after giving signed informed consent having received
verbal and written information about the study. The information emphasized that
participation in the study was voluntary and that the patient couJd withdraw from

A total of 5 patients were withdrawn from the study, 3 patients defaulted, 1 after
visit 2 and 2 patients after visit 3. One patient withdrew at visit 3 because of
"deterioration of psoriasis" and one patient withdrew at visit 3 because she found
"the treatment painful~ and that the treatment "did not help".

Table XV shows the extent of scalp psoriasis at respective visits and the changes in
extent from baseline to end of treatment for all patients. Four patients had a
reduction in extent recorded (range 10 -.. 60 cnf~) and 6 patients experienced no
change in extent of their scalp psoriasis.

If the patient's answer to the open question was "NO'', no further questions were
asked.
Further, the investigator observed the patient for adverse effects on the scalp.
For each adverse event, the following related details were recorded in the Case
Record Form.
1) The adverse event in the investigator's own terminology.
2) Date of first occurrence.
3) The number of days since the preceding visit that the patient was affected by
the adverse event.
4) The investigator's opinion on the severity of the adverse event, classified as
''mild", .''moderate'' or ''severe".
5) Whether the investigator consid~red the. relationship of the adverse event to the
study drug to be ''unlikely", "possible" or "probable".
In the analysis and presentation of adverse events, the following approach was used:
A particular adverse event was counted only once for each patient, even if the
adverse event was recorded repeatedly.
The individual adverse event data, using the investigator's terminology, are
presented in Table XVI.

11 CONCLUSION
The study showed that the acceptability, safety and efficacy of twice daily application
of calcipotriol solution (SO ~g/ml) should be further investigated in large, well-
controlled studies of patients with scalp psoriasis.
