This trial is a randomized, investigator-blind, multicentre, vehicle- and comparator-controlled, parallel-group trial with the purpose of evaluating the 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.

Percentage Change in mPASI (Modified Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) 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 the 3 areas 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 (if a reduction is seen the value will be presented as a negative number)

The Psoriasis Treatment Convenience Scale (PTCS)
PTCS measures the impact and convenience of the treatment. The scale consists of 6 disease-specific questions, which individually will be rated on a 1-10 points scale, where a score of 1 represents the lowest satisfactory response with the treatment and 10 represents the highest satisfactory response. The questions are: Q1. How easy was the treatment to apply to the skin?; Q2. How greasy was the treatment when applying it to the skin?; Q3. How moisturized did your skin feel after apolying the treatment?; Q4. How greasy did your skin feel after applying the treatment?; Q5. How much did treating you skin disrupt your daily routine?; Q6. Overall, how satisfied were you with the medical treatment? The total PTCS score is calculated as the sum of the first 5 questions, ranging from 5 \[low satisfaction\] to 50 \[high satisfaction\].
