Assessing the Efficacy of Image-guided Laser-assisted Enstilar® Delivery for Treatment of Psoriatic Nails

Study Purpose

The trial is conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy of a combination product containing calcipotriol and betamethasone formulated as an aerosol foam (Enstilar ©) for the treatment of nail psoriasis in conjunction with physical pre-treatment using a fractionally ablative carbon dioxide laser (AFL). It is hypothesized, based on preclinical data and comparable clinical trials, that laser processing prior to topical administration will lead to increased drug distribution, and thereby increase the efficacy of Enstilar® in treating nail psoriasis.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04580537
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
