Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AN2728 Ointment B, 2.0% and 0.5%, compared to Ointment Vehicle B, applied once or twice daily for 12 weeks, in the treatment of plaque type psoriasis
To compare the efficacy and safety of refined indigo naturalis ointment with that of crude ointment in treating psoriasis.
Psoriasis patients are known to be at increased risk for heart disease. This may be due to the increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors in this population, including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol. Although cholesterol levels are known to be altered in psoriasis, most studies have used standard lipid profiles to measure cholesterol. These tests indirectly measure LDL (bad cholesterol) and become less accurate when triglyceride levels are high, as often see in individuals with psoriasis. We have designed a case-control study that uses a more specific and detailed cholesterol test to measure serum lipid levels in psoriasis patients, allowing for more accurate determination of LDL and better assessment of the lipid-contribution to cardiovascular risk. We will also measure other markers of inflammation that may contribute to cardiovascular disease.
In this study, we will evaluate clinical activity, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of 5 LY2525623 dosing groups compared to placebo in adults with plaque psoriasis.
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two dosing regimens of desoximetasone 0.05% and 0.25% topical sprays as compared to a vehicle spray in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
This is a 12-week, open-label, pilot trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of the combination of Clobex® spray with excimer laser therapy as the initial treatment of generalized plaque psoriasis, followed by maintenance therapy with topical Vectical. The study will be conducted in three distinct periods, namely Period A, Period B, and Period C, each of 4 weeks duration. During Period A (weeks 1 through 4), patients will use Clobex® spray twice daily along with excimer laser treatments twice weekly with the Photomedex XTRAC® Velocity machine. The goal of Period A is to achieve Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75 in 100% of patients within four weeks. During Period B (weeks 5 through 8), patients would be treated with topical Vectical® twice daily. Thus, there is a steroid-free interval during which patients will not be using Clobex® spray. The goal of Period B is to maintain the patient's response using only non-steroid options. During Period C of the study, patients will use Clobex® spray BID and Vectical® BID. Period C (weeks 9 through 12) will be a "booster" period in which the goal is to see if 100% of patients can achieve Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 90-100. Regarding excimer laser therapy: all patients will be receiving excimer laser therapy twice weekly for the first 6 weeks of the study (up to the halfway point) which is 12 excimer laser treatments. At that point, only those patients achieving <Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI)75 response will continue to receive twice weekly excimer laser treatments for the remaining 6 weeks of the study.
Topical corticosteroids are largely used in dermatology. The major problem related to their use is that the same mechanisms underlying their therapeutic effects (antiinflammatory and antiproliferative) may lead to adverse events. Conditions sensitive to corticosteroids require formulations with mild to moderate potency while high-potency corticosteroids era required in less responsive conditions. The aim of the present study is to compare the safety and efficacy of prednisolone acetate 0.5% cream (mild-potency non-fluoridated corticosteroid) versus betamethasone valerate 0.1% cream (high-potency fluoridated corticosteroid) in the treatment of mild to moderate cortisosensitive dermatosis (atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis). The study hypothesis is that 0.5% prednisolone cream will be as effective as 0.1% betamethasone cream and will be an alternative option to treat corticosensitive dermatosis in body areas where the use of fluoridated corticosteroids is contraindicated, such as the face.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ILV-095 when it is given to individuals with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Another purpose of the study is to observe how the drug enters the blood and tissues over time, how the body breaks down the drug and whether or not the body will develop an immune reaction (sensitivity) to the drug.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy (good or bad effects) and safety of ustekinumab in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis in China.
An international, multi-centre, prospective, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled, 2-arm, parallel group, 8-week, phase 3 clinical study in paediatric patients (aged 6 to 17 years) with psoriasis vulgaris on the face and on the intertriginous areas
