Scalp Psoriasis
SORILUX Foam delivers effective, steroid-free treatment for scalp psoriasis
SORILUX Foam was evaluated as monotherapy for treatment of moderate plaque psoriasis of the scalp in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled study in 363 patients aged 12 to 97 years (11 patients were <18 years). 1
Study design 2
- At baseline, patients were required to have ≥10% involvement of the total scalp surface area with an Investigator’s Static Global Assessment (ISGA) score of 3 (moderate) on a 6-point scale for erythema, thickness, and scaliness
- Patients were instructed to self-administer SORILUX Foam or vehicle foam as monotherapy twice daily, morning and evening, for 8 weeks
Treatment success was defined as an ISGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) at week 8. 3

Actual patient from clinical trials with moderate plaque psoriasis (ISGA score 3) at baseline, representative of patients who achieved treatment success. Individual results may vary.
In a Phase III clinical study of moderate-severity scalp psoriasis, SORILUX Foam monotherapy achieved significant results when compared with vehicle foam 1
At week 8, 41% of patients treated with SORILUX Foam achieved treatment success compared with 24% of patients treated with vehicle foam ( P<0.001). 1
SORILUX Foam was well tolerated. The rate of adverse events was similar to that of vehicle foam.
