Primary Outcome Measures:

Overall Target Plaque Severity Assessment (OTPSS) at Day 28 [ Time Frame: Day 28 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Change of Overall Target Plaque Severity Score and erythema, scaling and plaque elevation assessments from baseline [ Time Frame: Days 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Overall Target Plaque Severity Assessment (OTPSS) at Days 7, 14, 21 and 35 [ Time Frame: Days 7, 14, 21 and 35 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment:	35
Study Start Date:	November 2007
Study Completion Date:	March 2008
Primary Completion Date:	March 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator AN2728 Ointment, 5%	Drug: AN2728 AN2728 Ointment, 5%, twice daily for 4 weeks
2: Placebo Comparator AN2728 Ointment Vehicle	Drug: AN2728 Ointment Vehicle AN2728 Ointment Vehicle, twice daily for 4 weeks.

Detailed Description:

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind bilateral design. Patients will apply the test articles, AN2728 Ointment, 5%, and Ointment Vehicle twice daily. The assigned study medication will be applied to two comparable treatment targeted plaques identified at baseline. One test article will be applied to one plaque and the other test article to an anatomically distinct plaque. All efficacy evaluations will be measured from only the two plaques identified at the baseline visit.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Male or female >18 years of age at time of enrollment.
The clinical diagnosis of stable plaque psoriasis.
Two target plaques of similar severity
1. ≥ 5 cm2 but ≤ 100 cm2 computed by multiplying the greatest diameter of the plaque by the diameter of the plaque perpendicular to the greatest diameter.
2. Bilaterally located (right/left) plaques on the arms or plaques located on the upper and lower trunk.
  
  Plaques located on the trunk were to be separated by at least 10 cm and designated by the Investigator as either left/right or front/back.
3. Target plaque severity score of 2-4 (mild to moderate).
Normal or not clinically significant screening laboratory results.
Subjects who were willing and able to apply study drug as directed, comply with study instructions, and commit to all follow-up visits.
Subjects who had the ability to understand, agree to and sign the study Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior to initiation of any protocol related procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

Any dermatological conditions that could interfere with clinical evaluations or any disease state or physical condition which might expose the patient to an unacceptable risk by study participation
Any underlying disease(s) or other dermatological conditions that require the use of exclusionary topical or systemic therapy (see below)
Known sensitivity to any of the components of the study medication
Spontaneously improving or rapidly deteriorating psoriatic plaques or pustular/exfoliative, guttate, erythrodermic or other non-plaque form of psoriasis
Concomitant use of topical or systemic therapies that might alter the course of psoriasis
Females of child bearing potential. Females must be post-menopausal (based on FSH levels) or surgically sterile (oophorectomy)
Washout periods of:
1. Topical drugs that might alter the course of psoriasis: 2 weeks
2. Oral retinoids: 8 weeks
3. Non-retinoid systemic drugs that might alter the course of psoriasis: 4 weeks
4. PUVA: 4 weeks
5. UVB therapy: 4 weeks
6. Use of emollients/moisturizers on area(s) to be treated: 2 days prior to baseline visit
AIDS or AIDS related illness
Concurrent participation in another drug research study or within 30 days of enrollment
Use of lithium or hydroxychloroquine containing products (i.e. Plaquenil)
Use of a beta-blocking medication (i.e. propranolol) if the dose has not been stabilized for at least 3 months
