Filter by:Psoriasis is a persistent condition which demands prolonged management, so it puts heavy financial as well as psychological burden on patients. Severe psoriasis makes work impossible for patients. If it affects exposed parts of the body, it may lead to decrease in self-esteem, social avoidance, and shame. Patients with even mild form of psoriasis have high stigma as compared to other cutaneous diseases. As a result, psoriasis affected individuals experience greater difficulty in social interactions and employment. Patients experience symptoms in psoriasis includes bleeding, itching and inflamed joints. Psoriatic patients develop psoriatic arthritis approximately at 40 years of age which contributes to fatigue in these individuals. Moreover, early age onset of psoriasis leads to more physical impairment. Hence, patients get trapped in a vicious cycle as stress leads to further aggravation of disease. The European Medicine Agency has given its approval regarding the usage of INFLIXIMAB bio similar REMSIMA for psoriasis after taking in consideration its effectiveness from other studies conducted on ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis. This study is being conducted as no data is present on REMSIMA SC in psoriasis patient in Pakistan.
The objective of this research is to demonstrate superior anti-inflammatory effects, as demonstrated by a reduction in TNF-a and IL-17A, with tazarotene/halobetasol lotion in patients with mild to moderate plaque type psoriasis as compared to clobetasol propionate 0.05% cream.
The purpose of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of HS-10374 in healthy subjects.
Psoriasis is a long standing inflammatory, autoinflammatory disease linked with many comorbidities. Patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis can be managed with topical as well as systemic medications. FDA approved Apremilast as first drug to be taken orally in cases of psoriasis in mid 1990's. Currently, according to researchers best knowledge no study has been done on use of Apremilast in Pakistan. It has recently become available here. Keeping in view all the benefits of this drug, a study has been planned to check its effectiveness and safety 30mg twice a day, in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis based on Psoriasis area and severity index and Body surface area assessments in our population.
Psoriasis is a serious, immune-driven illness that affects around 2% of the population and has a wide range of clinical manifestations 1-3 . Many patients have localized illness, and topical therapy can be an important part of treatment. tazarotene is the first receptor-selective retinoid for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis. On application, tazarotene is rapidly hydrolyzed to its main metabolite, tazarotenic acid, which binds to retinoic acid receptors (RARs) in the nucleus. Tazarotenic acid selectively binds to RARs b and g . The predominant type of RAR expressed in the human epidermis is RAR, indicating that it may be an important mediator of retinoid action in skin. .
comparing the clinical efficacy of topical ointment containing calcipotriol and betamethasone dipropionate used alone with the simultaneous use of fractional carbon dioxide laser and the same topical ointment containing these two ingredients as treatment modalities for plaque psoriasis. Additionally, looking into how both therapy modalities affect individuals with psoriasis in terms of how their quality of life is improved.
A cross-sectional study will be conducted, which will include 80 young patients with psoriasis, aged 30-45 years, treated with five different types of antipsoriatic treatment, and 20 healthy patients. All 100 subjects will be subjected to anthropometric measurements, blood will be collected for laboratory tests, and an imaging test will be performed to determine the function of the endothelium and arterial stiffness. The results will then be statistically analyzed.
This observational study aims to evaluate new markers to predict disease activity in psoriasis. The main question is SGOT, SGPT, GGT, hs-CRP, and apo B related to disease severity in psoriasis.
This study is conducted to assess the efficacy and safety of LEO 90100 when used on the body for the treatment of stable plaque psoriasis in native adult Chinese subjects, compared to Daivobet® ointment.
Psoriasis is one of the most common immune-mediated inflammatory disorders characterized by a chronic course. It affects approximately 2-3% of the world's population Psoriasis may be provoked by environmental factors in patients with genetic predispositions. Psoriasis is phenotypically characterized by thickened, red, scaly plaques and systemic inflammation, it is also associated with multiple comorbidities, such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, metabolic diseases, chronic kidney disease, and joint destruction. Psoriasis is pathogenically driven by proinflammatory cytokines and mediated by T and dendritic cells. Inflammatory myeloid dendritic cells release interleukin (IL) 23 and IL-12 to activate IL-17-producing T cells, Th1 cells, and Th22 cells to produce psoriatic cytokines like IL-17, interferon (IFN) γ, TNF, and IL-22. These cytokines mediate the effects on keratinocytes. Secukinumab is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a proinflammatory cytokine released by T-helper-17 (Th17) cells, IL-17A. It blocks its binding with IL-17R and the expression of cytokines. This blockade normalizes the inflammatory processes and combats epidermal hyperproliferation, T-cell infiltration, and exaggerated expression of pathogenic genes.
