A Pilot Study of Topical Antiflammin-2 for Psoriasis
For Condition: Psoriasis
Status: Completed
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) ,
Synopsis: This study is a pilot trial designed to evaluate topical antiflammin-2, a phospholipase A2 (PLA2) inhibitor, in the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis.
