Evaluation of efficacy and safety of Mapracorat 0.1% ointment and 4 comparator ointments in male and female subjects 18 to 65 years with stable plaque-type psoriasis treated once daily 6 days a week for a maximum of 4 weeks. Primary objective was to compare the efficacy of all test compounds by measurement of psoriatic infiltrate thickness (PIT) with 20 MHz B mode ultrasound. Secondary objectives were to assess safety of all test compounds by measurement of the atrophogenic potential on non-lesional skin with 20 MHz B mode ultrasound, to assess the efficacy of all test compounds by measurement of intensity of erythema measured by chromametry, to assess the efficacy of all test compounds by visual assessment of the skin in the test fields using a 5-point score, to assess the safety of all test compounds by visual assessments of formation of teleangiectasia using a 5-point score, to assess the safety of all test compounds by visual assessment of atrophy using a 5-point score, to assess the safety of all test compounds by visual assessment of local tolerability using a 5-point score, to visualize the therapeutic index given by PIT versus non lesional skin thickness.
