To evaluate the safety and efficacy of INCB018424 PHOSPHATE CREAM in cutaneous LP as assessed by the change in Physician Global Assessment (PGA), Body Surface Area (BSA), Index Treatment and Control Lesion by Clinical Assessment Scale of Severity for Index Lesion Signs and Symptoms (CAILS) score, Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Skindex-16. To predict responses through the identification of unique biomarkers of LP at week 0 and utilizing RNA sequencing on responsive and non-responsive tissue at week 4.
70 patients with suspicious oral lichen planus; atrophic and bullous erosive forms will be included. The blood samples will be drawn between 08:00 and 09:00 AM, after a fasting period of 12 hours, and analysis were performed within 2 hours of the sampling. The MPV and other hematologic parameters will be measured in a blood sample. A surgical biopsy will be performed for histopathological assessment.
This study aims to identify the accuracy of DNA integrity index in differentiating between oral premalignant lesions and oral cancer.
Corticosteroid therapy, including intralesional and topical applications, has many indications within the fields of Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Orthopedics. However, these injections can be quite painful, which leads many patients to discontinue treatment. Often, the injection involves a mixture of local anesthetic and corticosteroids despite a lack of evidence that the use of lidocaine improves pain. Due to the acidic pH, the lidocaine component of the injection can actually cause a significant burning sensation during the procedure. Lidocaine does not have anti-inflammatory properties and does not treat the underlying pathology. By including another medication, lidocaine also adds cost and risk to the procedure. The purpose of this study is to see if removing lidocaine from intralesional injections decreases the pain of injection.
Participants with symptomatic Oral Lichen Planus lesions will be treated with Rivelin® patches containing either 0, 1, 5, or 20 μg clobetasol per patch. Each participant will apply up to 6 patches twice daily for 4 weeks.
Treating Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a big challenge for clinicians. Despite numerous existing remedies, to date no effective cure has been found, which is mainly attributed to the lack of understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. The investigator's aim was comparing the effectiveness of topical steroids and diode laser in treating OLP patients. Twenty-four patients with OLP were allocated into two groups of twelve patients each. One group was treated with 970 nm diode laser applied twice weekly and the other group was treated with topical steroids applied four times per day. Patients were followed up for two months. Pain was recorded using the visual analog score (VAS) and the clinical signs and symptoms were recorded using the reticular, atrophic, erosive (RAE) sores. Pain and RAE records were taken before treatment, after treatment and after 2 months.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic autoimmune disease associated with cell-mediated immunological dysfunction. Symptomatic OLP is painful and complete healing is rare. Current treatments for lichen planus and lichenoid mucositis are usually directed towards reducing the symptoms. This double-blinded cross-over placebo-controlled clinical trial is designed to measure the effectiveness of a topical NSAID (Ibuprofen suspension - 100mg/5ml) compared with a placebo in reducing pain associated with Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Lichenoid Lesions. Exclusion criteria include: - The occurrence of dysplasia in the histopathological specimen - Known or suspected sensitivity to NSAID medication - History of asthma - History of gastrointestinal ulceration - History of bleeding disorders - Pregnancy Outcome measures are self-reported pain scores at day 0, day 4 and day 7 of use of the placebo or active suspension, using a horizontal 100 mm, visual analog scale (VAS). If subjects were already on active treatment at the time of enrollment, they will be asked to discontinue for 7 days for a washout period before starting the research study. cord their spontaneous pain level on a 0-10 VAS. Participants will be contacted initially after the first day of the intervention to discuss any concerns or questions. Every week, reminder phone calls will be made to the subjects to fill out the forms from the investigator and to check for any side effects from the intervention. Both the patient and the investigator will be blinded for the content of each bottle.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the potential effectiveness of once daily application of Valchlor in decreasing disease activity in patients with Lichen Planopilaris. The primary measurement of efficacy will be with the Lichen Planopilaris Activity Index (LPPAI) before and after 6 months of treatment. Secondary measures of efficacy will be the mean follicular density, Physician Global assessment (PGA) score, and the Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DQLI) score before and after six months of therapy.
Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease, which often results in oral manifestations, receiving the name of oral lichen planus (OLP). Its frequency varies from 0,1 to 4% of the general population, with a higher incidence in women, around the 4th and 5th decades of life. Although the pathogenesis of OLP is related to a immune-cellular response, mainly mediated by T lymphocytes, its cause remains unknown. Considering its chronic nature, control of OLP aims to reduce symptoms and improve function, and agents with anti-inflammatory action, especially topical corticosteroids result in some degree of success in most patients, depending on the clinical presentation. However, some cases are resistant to the use of corticosteroids, thus justifying the search for new therapeutic options. The immunomodulation proved to be one of the main functions of probiotic bacteria, and recent studies have shown effect of probiotics on decreasing the expression of inflammatory markers, which enables the study of this therapy as an alternative to the control of OLP. Thus, this project aims to evaluate the effects of therapy with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 comparing with clobetasol propionate 0.05% in symptomatic patients with OLP referred for diagnosis and treatment of School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto - University of São Paulo (USP). The impact of the topical therapy (probiotic or corticosteroid) on the clinical, histopathological and immunopathological features will be evaluated. This project was previously submitted and approved by the Institutional Review Board of the School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto/USP, and all patients must give informed consent to participate in this study.
