Filter by:The investigator's laboratory is studying a skin disease known as psoriasis. The purpose of this protocol is to study the action and the effects of Etanercept, on psoriasis. This medication has been studied extensively and has been found to be effective and safe in the treatment of psoriasis. The eligible patient will have 10% of his/her body surface area involved with psoriasis vulgaris. This trial is a phase III study to help understand the action of the drug etanercept, trade name Enbrel, for the adult patient with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and who is a candidate for internal medications.
Our laboratory is studying a skin disease known as psoriasis. The purpose of this protocol is to study the action and the effects of Efalizumab, on psoriasis. This medication has been studied extensively and has been found to be effective and safe in the treatment of psoriasis. The eligible patient will have 10% of his/her body surface area involved with psoriasis vulgaris.
Psoriasis is a common skin disease affecting an estimated 2.6% of the US population. It is a chronic, recurrent condition for which there is no cure, but there are ways to control it. Psoriasis is characterized by epidermal hyperplasia (abnormal increase in the number of normal cells of the outer layer of the skin). Tetrathiomolybdate (TM), a copper chelator (a drug that removes copper from the bloodstream) was first created to treat Wilson's disease, a disorder caused by too much copper in the blood. Studies in animals have since shown that TM may also prevent the formation of new blood vessels and may also block the key components of inflammation (swelling, redness, and pain) caused by psoriasis. TM is not approved by the FDA for any use yet. It is an investigational drug used for clinical research. We propose to test whether a new treatment with TM can in fact improve or stabilize psoriasis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly compared to placebo over 12 weeks on the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) in subjects with psoriasis. This study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly; determine the effect of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly on patient reported outcomes (PRO); and characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) profile of etanercept 50 mg twice weekly.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long-term administration of etanercept in adults with psoriasis who have participated in previous etanercept psoriasis studies. This study will also evaluate the maintenance of the efficacy of etanercept in adults with psoriasis who have participated in previous etanercept psoriasis studies. All subjects enrolled in this study will receive 50 mg once weekly or twice weekly (if qualified after week 12) by subcutaneous injections for at least 48 weeks and up to 72 weeks.
This study is testing the effect of etanercept in treating both the skin and joint symptoms of psoriatic arthritis patients. Enbrel®, also known as etanercept, has already been approved by the Federal Food Drug Administration for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. It is taken as an injection under the skin. Participants in the trial will be offered etanercept free of charge to be self-injected once weekly for 24 weeks. During that period they will have 5 appointments at the study center and will also be asked to complete assessments of their health.
The purpose of this multicenter, open-label, prospective study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of etanercept in the treatment of subjects with psoriasis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combination therapy with etanercept and narrow-band (NB) UVB phototherapy for the treatment of psoriasis in a pilot study. This is a Phase 4 clinical study being conducted under an Amgen Investigational New Drug Application (IND).
This is a Phase IIIb, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of efalizumab administered subcutaneously at weekly doses of 1.0 mg/kg in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy.
This is an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efalizumab administered at weekly SC (subcutaneous) doses of 1.0 mg/kg followed by efalizumab taper in subjects with plaque psoriasis who previously participated in Study ACD2390g.
