Filter by:Psoriasis has been associated with an increasing risk for atherosclerosis. The investigators investigated whether surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, vascular dysfunction and myocardial dysfunction are impaired in patients with psoriasis compared to normal controls ,coronary artery disease patients and untreated hypertension subjects. The investigators also examined the effect of treatment with biological vs no biological agents on vascular and LV function in psoriasis.
This is a two part study comparing CHS-0214 to Enbrel in patients with chronic plaque PsO who have not yet received any biologic therapy for any indication (other than insulin or hormones).
The purpose is to compare the efficacy of treatment with LEO 90100 at Week 4 to that of calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate (BDP) gel at Week 8 in subjects with psoriasis vulgaris
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of DFD06 cream to suppress the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis as compared to clobetasol propionate cream, 0.05% cream when applied twice daily for 15 days.
The purpose of this study is to establish proof of efficacy of namilumab in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, measured as Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)75 response rate at week 12.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of up to 26 weeks of treatment with calcitriol 3 mcg/g ointment when used twice daily, without occlusion, to treat pediatric subjects (2 to 16 years and 11 months of age) with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
Increasing research evidence supports the effectiveness of mindfulness based interventions; however, the exact mechanisms of change are poorly understood. Some evidence proposes that self-compassion is an important mechanism of change in the effectiveness of mindfulness based interventions. The current research will evaluate and compare the effectiveness of two mindfulness meditation approaches; Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness based Self-compassion Therapy (MBSCT), for individuals with psoriasis, a skin condition commonly associated with stress. Blood analyses will be conducted to assess and compare the impact of the interventions on the immune system. Self-report questionnaires will explore participants' psychological functioning (e.g. self-compassion, depression, anxiety, worry). This study will also examine whether a relationship exists between immune functioning and psychological factors. An audio-guided MBSCT programme will be piloted, with a view to trialling as a more cost-effective alternative to traditional mindfulness interventions. Findings will enable us to design more effective interventions in the future, and yield clear results regarding the existence of a definite link between immunological functioning and psychological functioning. The main research hypothesis is that participants who complete a mindfulness based intervention will experience significantly greater psychological well-being, symptom reduction, and greater changes in telomerase and cytokine activity than individuals who only receive treatment as usual for their psoriasis.
AUTOMATIC SUBDERMAL INJECTOR SYSTEM (ASIS) Corporation has developed and patented the only automatic injection system for delivery of injectable products to the optimum spot, just outside of the fascia, which exists subdermally (between the skin and muscle) or interfascial (between the deeper muscles). ASIS device creates that bloodless space, enhancing Enbrel's efficacy and preventing unnecessary distant spread and adverse reactions. This space remains bloodless as long as the skin is lifted up or filled with an injectable product. Although ASIS device was initially designed to best administer BOTOX for such muscular conditions as Upper limb Spasticity, Cervical Dystonia, Chronic Migraine, Strabismus, Blepharospasm, and Primary Axillary Hyperhidrosis, the technology will also benefit other injectable products, including: GAMMAGARD for Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) and Insulin for Diabetics, etc.
Clinical investigation of anti-psoriatic efficacy and atrophy
The purpose of the study is to test the effect of a localized narrow band ultraviolet (NB-UVB) phototherapy compared to visible light that does not produce UVB on the clearance of psoriasis plaques and resolution of itching. Localized NB-UVB (Levia®) phototherapy device is cleared by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
