Filter by:Psoriasis is a long-term skin disease which causes red, itchy, scaly patches most commonly on the knees, elbows, scalp, and torso (chest, back, and abdomen). In participants with psoriasis, certain skin cells multiply much faster and the skin can develop rough patches that may be red or white with scales. There are many types of psoriasis, but plaque psoriasis is the most common. The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, but researchers think it may be caused by the body's immune system not working properly. This study is designed to enroll 336 participants 18 years of age and older with have been diagnosed with moderate chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to Baseline (Day 1) and who have not previously been treated with a biologic treatment (natural substance that is made by using living cells in a laboratory). This is a Phase 4, randomized, open-label, assessor blinded, active comparator study with 2 Parts. Phase 4 studies test treatments that have already been approved to treat patients with a condition or disease. This study is open-label, which means that both participants and study doctors know which study treatment is given to participants Participants will be administered subcutaneous (SC) treatment of risankizumab every 12 weeks for up to 44 weeks or provided deucravacitinib oral tablets to be taken once daily. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular (weekly, monthly) visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.
This project aims to develop and evaluate an online intervention to prevent and/or reduce self-stigma in German patients with visible chronic skin diseases. Evaluation of the intervention with regard to effectiveness and feasibility will follow an open-label randomized controlled design with 550 patients in total. The results of the program are expected to provide new insights and markedly extended knowledge on the mechanisms of self-stigma in chronic skin conditions. The new online intervention can be used in routine care, aiming for better patient care in practice and, ultimately decreased extent of self-stigma, increased quality of life of patients, and decreased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation.
The purpose of this study is to examin the efficacy and safety of the study drug recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Paradoxical psoriasis is a side effect of a biological treatment (anti-tumor necrosis factor agent, short called anti-TNF) that is used to treat diseases of the skin, the intestine or the joints. If paradoxical psoriasis occurs, the anti-TNF-treatment often needs to be stopped and so far, no specific treatment for paradoxical psoriasis exists. This research project aims to study whether the efficacy of the drug 'Deucravacitinib' 6mg, a tablet taken by mouth once a day is superior compared to taking a placebo in treating paradoxical psoriasis.
The purpose of this observational study is to describe the safety and effectiveness of deucravacitinib in participants in Korea that have been diagnosed with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Introduction Pollution is a significant public health issue. Research has shown a positive correlation between air pollution and chronic inflammatory dermatoses, including psoriasis and eczema. The incidence of these diseases has been steadily increasing since the beginning of industrialization. The mechanism behind this association involves the activation of the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays a role in regulating the balance between T helper 17 (TH17) and regulatory T cells (TREG), as well as in generating oxidative stress and producing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Studies in cultured keratinocytes have shown that a non-competitive antagonist that modulates AhR activity can reduce cutaneous inflammatory processes induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Objectives: It has been suggested that activation of the AhR by PAHs and dioxins may be related to the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The main objective is to compare the levels of AhR pathway activation markers between cases and controls. Secondary objectives include correlating environmental exposure to AhR ligands with disease severity in patients. Finally, we will compare the expression of inflammatory and AhR activation markers in cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) after in vitro stimulation with benzo(a)pyrene. Material and methods: The study will measure exposure to pollutants by determining blood dioxins and urinary PAH metabolites. Pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1β, TNFα, IL23, IL17 and IFNγ and Malondialdehyde (MDA) serum concentrations will be measured by ELISA. The TREG and TH17 lymphocyte population ratio will be evaluated by flow cytometry on isolated PBMCs. Additionally, the level of expression of CYP 1A1 and 1B1, pollutant-metabolizing enzymes induced by AhR, will be assessed on isolated PBMCs. The expression levels of the AhR and NfkB active fractions will be determined by immunofluorescence. Subsequently, levels of AhR activation markers will be compared after stimulation of PBMCs with benzo(a)pyrene.
Psoriasis is a systemic chronic relapsing immune-mediated disease which often requires a long-term therapy. Psoriasis occurs in around 2-3% of the total global population. In Egypt, the prevalence of psoriasis ranges between 0.19% and 3%. Besides, it could have profound implications on the patients' psychological state and quality of life. It is presented by erythematous, scaly plaques over the preferred sites. The pathogenesis of this highly complex disease is still far from being fully understood. Keratinocytes' hyperproliferation and immune system dysfunctions are well recognized contributors, with numerous treatments targeting these unique immunologic dysfunctions.
The primary objective is to assess with the PPQ questionnaire the patient preference for Wynzora compared with therapy carried out previously with Enstilar spray foam. Secondary objectives Assess satisfaction with the treatment. Assess adherence to therapy. Evaluate the impact of various clinical and demographic factors on treatment adherence. Evaluate the efficacy of Wynzora cream therapy.
Psoriasis is a common chronic and systemic immune-mediated disease, induced by a combination of genetic and environmental effects. The increasingly worrying question is the negative impact on patients' sleep, which has become an important comorbidity of psoriasis. To investigate the causal relationship between psoriasis and sleep status, a prospective cohort study will be conducted by separating moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients and healthy individuals into distinct cohorts in order to observe their sleep status.
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of excimer laser in combination with intralesional MTX injection to intralesional MTX injection alone in treating nail psoriasis
