5. Subjects must have an IGA Grade of 3 at the Baseline Visit.

6. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test

vital signs (blood pressure and pulse).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Current diagnosis of unstable forms of psoriasis including guttate, erythrodermic,
exfoliative or pustular psoriasis.

2. Other inflammatory skin disease that may confound the evaluation of the plaque
psoriasis (e.g., atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, tinea corporis).

3. Presence of pigmentation, extensive scarring, pigmented lesions or sunburn which could
interfere with the rating of efficacy parameters.
