This is a clinical study in two phases. The first phase compares the effect of an ointment
containing parathyroid hormone (PTH) with the effect of a placebo ointment (inactive ointment
without PTH) on psoriasis lesions. Neither the study participants nor the researchers will
know who is receiving PTH ointment and who is receiving placebo until the end of this first
study phase. The second phase is a study of the PTH ointment on large areas of psoriasis to
find out how long the effects last.
Phase:
