This is a single-center, open-label study. Approximately 30 qualified subjects will be enrolled in a study lasting 20 weeks which investigates the effect of Enstilar used in combination with Otezla to treat psoriasis.
Approximately 30 subjects will be enrolled in a single-center, open-label study of the treatment of psoriasis. There will be a screening/baseline, week 4, week 16 and week 20 visits. Subjects will include those who have been started on commercial Otezla within the last 10 days of baseline. We will add Enstilar foam QD at baseline visit for 4 weeks. Those subjects who achieve clear or almost clear on PGA scale at week 4 will continue on maintenance dose of Enstilar twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays QD for the next 12 weeks and they will also continue on Otezla. Subjects will continue to week 20 after stopping Enstilar at week 16..

| week 4, week 16, week 20 |
| Percent of subjects who achieve PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) 75 at week 4 | The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a quantitative rating score for measuring the severity of psoriatic lesions based on area coverage and plaque appearance. PASI 75 evaluates if the subject had a 75% or more reduction in their PASI score from baseline. | 4 weeks |
| Percent of subjects who achieve PASI 75 at week 16 | The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a quantitative rating score for measuring the severity of psoriatic lesions based on area coverage and plaque appearance. PASI 75 evaluates if the subject had a 75% or more reduction in their PASI score from baseline. | 16 weeks |
| DLQI (dermatology life quality index) at week 4 | The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a ten-question questionnaire used to measure the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of an affected person. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale: Very much = 3, A lot = 2, A little = 1, Not at all = 0, Not relevant = 0, Question unanswered = 0. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease. | 4 weeks |
| DLQI at week 16 | The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a ten-question questionnaire used to measure the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of an affected person. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale: Very much = 3, A lot = 2, A little = 1, Not at all = 0, Not relevant = 0, Question unanswered = 0. The DLQI is calculated by adding the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired. A score higher than 10 indicates that the patient's life is being severely affected by their skin disease. | 16 weeks |
| Itch VAS (visual analogue scale) at week 4 and week 16 | The VAS is a scale consisting of a 10cm long line and a single question used for measuring itch intensity. The left end point represents "no itch" and the right end point the "worst imaginable itch". | 4 week, 16 weeks |
