This trial is a randomized, investigator-blind, multicentre, vehicle- and comparator-controlled, parallel-group trial with the purpose of evaluating efficacy, safety and convenience of the MC2-01 cream.
The MC2-01 Cream is designed for optimal patient satisfaction - it quickly absorbs into the skin leaving it nicely moisturized allowing patients to move on in daily routines. In this trial, the MC2-01 cream will be compared to a marketed product CAL/BDP combination and vehicle. The purpose of the trial is to compare the clinical efficacy, safety, and convenience of this cream to the marketed product. The trial will include a 8-week treatment period.

Number of Participants With a Decrease in the Physicians Global Assessment (PGA) Score of Minimum 2 Points on a Scale From 0-4 From Baseline to Week 8
Psoriasis treatment success rate is measured at week 8 by the use of a Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score. Success is defined as a decrease from Baseline of minimum 2 point on a scale from 0 - 4, where: 0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild Plaque thickening; 3 = Moderate Plaque thickening, 4 = Severe Plaque thickening. The number of participants referred in the data sets are the number of participants, who achieved a successful treatment success.
Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks
Percentage Change in mPASI Score
The extent and severity of the participant's psoriasis is assessed using a modified PASI scoring system (minus scalp, face, and flexures) at each 3 areas (arms, trunk and legs) using a scale from 0 - 6, where 0 = no psoriasis involvement and 6 = 90-100% involvement. The severity is assessed at each 3 areas (arms, trunk and legs) for each of the sign redness, thickness and scaliness using a scale from 0 - 4, where 0 represents none and 4 represents very severe. The mPASI score is calculated from the individual scores by use of the following equation: Arms 0.2 (Redness + Thickness + Scaliness) E = X Trunk 0.3 (Redness + Thickness + Scaliness) E = Y Legs 0.4 (Redness + Thickness + Scaliness) E = Z The sum of X + Y + Z = m-PASI score resulting in a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score (worst possible) of 64.8. The percent change in mPASI score is defined as the Baseline minus the Week 8 divided by Baseline score multiplied by 100
Time frame: Baseline and 8 weeks
Psoriasis Treatment Convenience Scale
Subject assessment of treatment convenience using a Psoriasis Treatment Convenience Scale is defined as a sum of questions 1-5, where each question is scored on a scale from 1-10. How easy was the treatment to apply to the skin? "Very difficult" is 1 and "Very easy" is 10 How greasy was the treatment when applying it to the skin? "Very greasy" is 1 and "Not greasy" is 10 How moisturised did your skin feel after applying the treatment? "Not moisturized" is 1 and "Very moisturized" is 10 How greasy did your skin feel after applying the treatment? "Very greasy" is 1 and "Not greasy" is 10 How much did treating your skin disrupt your daily routine? "Very disturbing" is 1 and "Not disturbing" is 10
