Filter by:Psoriasis (PsO) is a systemic immune disease that affect 2-4% of the population worldwide. PsO causes tremendous burden in terms of quality of life, psychological impact, disability and work productivity of affected individuals. PsO is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidities and mortality in the long term. Up to 30% of PsO patients develop psoriatic arthritis (PsA) over time causing joint deformities and further disabilities. Majority of patients with PsA developed PsO first, and arthritis develop 5-10 years afterwards. PsA and PsO are increasingly recognized as two entities under the umbrella of psoriatic diseases. Advances in biological treatments have greatly improved the prognosis of patients with PsO. Remarkable efficacies have been demonstrated for patients with moderate to severe PsO in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). However, the high cost of biological treatment is one of the major barriers to prescription of biological treatment and many patients may have limited access to these treatments. The best strategy of treatment for PsO that takes into account efficacy and cost effectiveness is unknown. For instance, whether some PsO patients can stop biological treatment and be retreated with non-biologic medications upon relapse, which may enhance cost effectiveness of treatment. Preliminary studies have shown that some PsO patients were able to maintain good control of disease without medications after biologics withdrawal. The patho-immunological mechanisms behind long term remission after drug withdrawal is poorly understood. Better understanding on patho-immunological mechanisms on maintenance of remission and relapses will advance the development of biomarkers that eventually guide development of best treatment strategies for PsO. Ixekizumab is a humanized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4 kappa) monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin (IL)-17A. It is highly efficacious in the treatment of plague PsO with and favorable safety profile as shown in randomized controlled trials, and is an approved treatment for moderate-to-severe PsO by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Sciences Authority. With the proven efficacies, ixekizumab could be a choice of first-line treatment for patients with moderate to severe PsO. The 2013 American Academy of Dermatology position statement have stated that the old paradigm of stepwise-therapy starting first with phototherapy and oral systemic therapies before biologic treatment is not required for patients with moderate to severe PsO. In the recent 2017 update of the European S3 guidelines also recommend the use of IL-17 inhibitors as either a first- or second-line agent. In a RCT that evaluated relapses after withdrawal of ixekizumab among patients who achieved a clearance of PsO, loss of PsO clearance were seen after a median of 20 weeks. Response can be successfully recaptured in over 80% of patients with retreatment with ixekizumab, suggesting that the treatment regimen could be interrupted in some patients. However, real-life data on biologic treatment or withdrawal for moderate to severe PsO is scatty.
This study will be an open label study of secukinumab for the treatment of nail psoriasis. Secukinumab is an FDA-approved treatment for psoriasis. We will examine time to response and different methods of defining nail disease response.
This research is a multicenter,observational study under real world settings in patients diagnosed as psoriasis by dermatologist in the clinic. As patient's choice of medication should be fully respected, all the patients can choose the treatments they prefer, like phototherapy, traditional systemic therapy or biologics. And the study was conducted to compare the effectiveness among different choices of medication in Chinese psoriasis patients.
Plaque Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which skin cells build up and develop scaly red and white patches on the skin. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis (swelling and stiffness in the joints) that is frequently seen in trial participants who also have the skin condition psoriasis. It is caused by an overactive immune system where the body attacks healthy tissue by mistake. This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis and to assess change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is an approved drug for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Around 3000 adult participants with a moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis who had been prescribed risankizumab by their doctor will be enrolled in this study in multiple sites across Korea. The sample size for this study is a requirement by local authorities. Participants will receive risankizumab prefilled syringe for injection for 52 weeks as prescribed by their physician. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this study. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 52 weeks.
The aim of this study is to determine whether oral Chinese herbal medicine in combination secukinumab is effective and safe in the treatment of severe psoriasis.
Plaque psoriasis may be an ideal model disease to explore potential therapeutic effects of immunosuppressive agents, given the easy accessibility of inflammatory lesions. In this study, the applicability of a systems dermatology approach is investigated in order to better assess the efficacy of psoriasis treatments at an early clinical stage. Up to this point, the clinical manifestation and regression of psoriasis is not yet sufficiently characterized with a multimodal state-of-the-art evaluation tool. The in-house developed 'DermaToolbox' enables the determination and subsequent integration of different diseaserelated biomarkers, including clinical, biophysical, molecular, cellular, and imaging markers as well as patient reported outcomes
Enstilar in combination with Taltz for plaque psoriasis.
This is a first-in-human, phase 1, single-center, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled, single dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, of 608 following subcutaneous injection in healthy subjects.
EQ-5D is one of the most commonly employed patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. It is included in many of the Swedish National Quality Registers (NQRs). EQ-5D health states are usually summarized using 'values' obtained from healthy members of the general public. However an alternative - which remains to be studied in detail - is the potential to use patients' self-reported overall health on the visual analogue scale as a means of capturing experience-based values. The overall aim of this project is to increase knowledge on the potential applicability of EQ VAS as a health state valuation method through assessment of its variability across and within patient groups and compared with that of the general population in Sweden. Data on nearly 700,000 patients from 12 NQRs covering a variety of diseases/conditions and from the general population will be analysed. Longitudinal studies of PROs among different patient groups will be conducted at baseline/first visit and 1-year follow-up. Descriptive analyses comparing EQ-5D health states and observed self-assessed EQ VAS within and across registers will be performed. Comparisons of the change in health state and observed EQ VAS values over one year will also be made. Regression models will be used to assess whether EQ-5D dimensions predict observed EQ VAS values to investigate patient value sets in each NQR. These will be compared across the patient groups and with the existing Swedish experience-based VAS and time trade-off (TTO) value sets obtained from the general population. This research project will provide information on the variation among different patient groups in terms of self-reported health status through EQ VAS and comparison with the general population. Knowledge on the relative importance of different dimensions of the EQ-5D to different patient groups as well as the general population will be gained in this project. The possibility of getting value sets based on patients' self-reported EQ VAS values and their comparison with value sets from experience-based general population studies will be discussed.
This registry is a prospective observational study in order to describe primarily the natural course of PP subtypes and to gain detailed information about their phenotype.
