assent (for adolescents).

- Scalp psoriasis with an Investigator Global Assessment of Scalp disease severity
(S-IGA) of at least Mild ('2') at Baseline.

Screening (Visit 1) and a negative urine pregnancy test at Baseline (Visit 2).

- Females of non-childbearing potential must either be post-menopausal with spontaneous
amenorrhea for at least 12 months or have undergone surgical sterilization.

- Subjects in good health as judged by the Investigator, based on medical history,
physical examination, vital signs, serum chemistry labs, hematology values, and
urinalysis.

- Subjects are considered reliable and capable of adhering to the Protocol and visit
schedule according to the Investigator judgment.

- Planned initiation or changes to concomitant medication that could, in the opinion of
the Investigator, affect psoriasis vulgaris (e.g. beta blockers, ACE inhibitors).

nefazodone, saquinavir, suboxone and telithromycin for two weeks prior to the Baseline
visit (Visit 2) and during the study.

- Subjects who cannot discontinue the use of strong P-450 cytochrome inducers e.g.,

(Visit 2) and during the study.

- Subjects with PHQ-8 >/= 10 or modified PHQ-A >/= 10 at Screening or Baseline.

- Females who are pregnant, wishing to become pregnant during the study, or are
breast-feeding.

prevent study participation or place the subject at significant risk, as determined by
the Investigator.
