Calcipotriol/Betamethasone Dipropionate Cutaneous Foam Treatment for Psoriasis in Patients With BSA 5-15% and PGA ≥ 3: Post-Hoc Analysis From Three Randomized Controlled Trials.

Although topical therapies are frequently used to treat mild disease, they are not routinely used to treat patients with moderate-to-severe disease who have a larger proportion of their body surface area (BSA) affected (≥ 5% BSA). Based on well-controlled trials in adults with mild-to-severe disease, fixed-dose combination calcipotriol 50 μg/g + betamethasone dipropionate 0.5 mg/g (Cal/BD) cutaneous foam has been approved (Enstilar®, LEO Pharma) in the USA and EU for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris for up to 4 weeks in adults.
