Filter by:Background: Psoriasis, a common inflammatory disease, is associated with atherosclerotic vascular diseases, including stroke, myocardial infarction, and impaired microcirculations, among which circulating microparticles play an important role. In severe psoriasis, there are increased endothelial- and platelet- microparticles that are reduced by TNF-α blockers in parallel with clinical improvement. However, whether Stelara(ustekinumab) treatment would decrease the level of microparticles remains unknown. Objective: The investigators will evaluate the level of microparticles among normal control, severe psoriasis before and 4 months after ustekinumab treatment.
This is a double-blind study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of topical IDP-118 Lotion when applied once daily to adult subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of topical IDP-118 lotion following once daily, 8-week treatment courses in subjects with plaque psoriasis followed by intermittent as needed treatment for up to 1-year. Subjects will receive treatment courses as needed during the year to manage their plaques psoriasis with following safety endpoint evaluations being conducted.
The objective of the study is to investigate pain mechanisms, comorbidity status, biomarkers, patient reported outcome measures, ultrasonographic (US) inflammatory activity and association between these features in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) intensifying anti-rheumatic treatment. Furthermore, to assess the predictive value of baseline pain profile, comorbidity status, and US joint/entheses activity on treatment outcome after 4 months. Finally, we aimed to compare baseline characteristics with I) patients with skin psoriasis without arthritis and II) healthy controls.
A Phase 4, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Apremilast (CC-10004), in Subjects with Moderate Plaque Psoriasis
This Study is to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*1301 screening on the incidence of dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) in 3130 previously Dapsone(DDS)-naive patients. Those patients include allergic cutaneous vasculitis, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, bullous skin diseases, sterile pustulosis, leprosy, pneumocystis pneumonia and any other patients who need dapsone administration. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 5-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected DHS and a subset of DDS-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening: Case). Subjects identified as HLA-B*1301 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive dapsone and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected DHS during the 6-week observation would be withdrawn from dapsone and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris. Any adverse events related to UC-MSCs infusion will be monitored and the patients will be assessed by Psoriasis Activity and Severity Index (PASI) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in the baseline and after MSCs infusions.
This is a proof of concept, investigator blinded study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination of a home narrow band ultraviolet B (NBUVB) lamp with an occlusive dressing in adult subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis vulgaris. Four interpatient arms will be used to compare the efficacy of combination of NBUVB with an occlusive dressing to the light alone and to dressing alone and no treatment. Ten patients will be enrolled in this 6 weeks study.
Methotrexate (MTX) is considered the 'gold-standard' drug for the treatment of severe psoriasis. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is impaired in patients with psoriasis, more so if disease is severe.
Psoriasis has been associated with an increasing risk for atherosclerosis. The investigators investigated whether surrogate markers of subclinical atherosclerosis, vascular dysfunction and myocardial dysfunction are impaired in patients with psoriasis compared to normal controls ,coronary artery disease patients and untreated hypertension subjects. The investigators also examined the effect of treatment with biological vs no biological agents on vascular and LV function in psoriasis.
