Abstract

Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. Approximately 30% of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis achieve PASI 75 reduction at 16 weeks after utilizing oral apremilast. Clobetasol, a potent topical steroid, is effective at achieving rapid PASI 75 reduction at 4 weeks but is not a long-term option because of its potential to cause skin atrophy and adrenal suppression. This study investigated whether an initial 6-week tapering regimen of clobetasol spray could improve PASI 75 and sPGA response at 16 weeks in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis who initiate apremilast.
