Filter by:A one year study assessing the efficacy and safety of secukinumab compared with placebo in adult patients with moderate to severe palmoplantar pustular psoriasis - amended with an optional extension treatment period of up to a total of 148 weeks
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a blue light device for treating Psoriasis vulgaris. The study will compare a blue light treated plaque with an untreated control plaque. Additionally, two intensities of blue light are compared.
The combination of calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate used in an ointment formulation (Daivobet® ointment) has shown to have an excellent efficacy and safety in the short-term and long-term management of psoriasis vulgaris. A newly developed gel formulation (Xamiol® gel) of calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate has recently been approved and marketed in Korea as a topical treatment of moderate to severe scalp psoriasis and non-scalp psoriasis vulgaris. Xamiol® gel, the investigational product (IP) used in this study, prevents keratinization by normalizing the reproduction cycle of skin cells. It also relieves itching associated with psoriasis. Xamiol® gel was initially approved for treatment of moderate to severe scalp psoriasis and its label was extended to non-scalp psoriasis vulgaris in October 2012. Since patient compliance is one of the important factors in achieving effective outcomes in the treatment of psoriasis, the once daily dosing of Xamiol® gel is expected to enhance compliance and treatment outcomes as well as to provide a safe and effective therapeutic option.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of ustekinumab, followed by abatacept, will prevent relapse in people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether DRM02 is safe and effective in the treatment of plaque psoriasis when applied twice daily for 6 weeks.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if sitagliptin (Januvia®) improves psoriasis severity after 16 weeks of treatment in 20 participants with both psoriasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus. We will compare the change in psoriasis severity in 20 participants treated with Januvia® to 20 participants treated with 16 weeks of a comparator drug (gliclazide, Diamicron®). Participants will be recruited from two centres and after a 4 week washout period will be followed prospectively for 36 weeks. Participants will be stratified by centre, psoriasis severity and obesity status after which they will be randomly allocated to Arm A or Arm B. Participants will be treated with either Januvia® and Diamicron® matched placebo capsules (Arm A), or Diamicron® and Januvia® matched placebo tablets (Arm B) for 16 weeks and then proceed to an open-label phase where all participants will receive Januvia® for a further 16 weeks. Both the research participants and the investigators will be unaware of the trial arm to which the research participant has been allocated (double-blind study). Research participants will be prohibited from making any changes to the dose of medications used to treat psoriasis. If a participant's plasma glycated haemoglobin level (HbA1c) (reflects a participant's glucose control over the previous 3 months) is above 64mmol/mol eight weeks after commencing one of the study investigational medicinal products (IMPs) insulin therapy will be used to improve glycaemic control. Participants will be assessed at 9 study visits over 40 weeks. Participants will complete questionnaires, have a medical history recorded and physical examination, blood sampling and skin biopsies taken (in a small number of willing participants at 3 visits). The following endpoints will be analysed: Changes in psoriasis severity at 16 and 32 weeks; changes in validated quality of life scores; incidence of adverse events; incidence of discontinuation of one of the study IMPs, time to relapse of psoriasis; changes in cardiovascular disease risk factor profiles; changes in cytokines, hormones, expression of immune proteins in blood and skin biopsies; and genetic profiles that predicts best response to sitagliptin therapy. We hypothesize that sitagliptin therapy decreases psoriasis severity.
The investigators plan to measure the health of the vascular system of subjects taking Etanercept for the treatment of plaque psoriasis.
M5181 - a novel vitamin D3 analogue - is currently under development for the treatment of plaque psoriasis and is being developed as a topical ointment formulation (M518101) Clinical and non-clinical studies indicate that M5181 is an effective treatment for plaque psoriasis. Based on the results of previous phase II trials the phase III trial has been designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of an 8-week treatment period with 50 μg/g M518101 in a larger population of patients with stable plaque psoriasis.
TRANSREG will assess the safety and biological efficacy of low-dose IL2 as a Treg inducer in a set of 14 autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases, with the aim to select diseases in which further therapeutic development will be performed. Extensive biological- and immune-monitoring pre- and post-IL2 will contribute (i) to define the common or distinct processes responsible for the breakdown of immunological tolerance in these pathologies and (ii) to discover potential biomarkers of the IL2 response.
This study will test the clinical effectiveness and safety of two orally administered doses of apremilast compared to placebo in Japanese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis.
