Filter by:The objective of this phase III study is to evaluate the efficacy, systemic safety and local tolerability of P-3073 (calcipotriene 0.005%) nail solution in patients with mild to moderate psoriatic fingernail/s.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of GSK2894512 cream for the topical treatment of plaque psoriasis (psoriasis) with its vehicle cream. This is a randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study in adults with psoriasis. The aim of this study is to show superiority of GSK2894512 over vehicle by comparing their response rates. The study will consist of 3 periods: up to 4 weeks screening, 12 weeks blinded treatment, and 1 week post-treatment follow-up period. Subjects will apply randomized study treatment to all psoriasis lesions once daily for 12 weeks. Subjects will be stratified by Baseline physician global assessment (PGA) category (PGA score=2, PGA score >=3) at randomization. Approximately 120 subjects will be randomized into the study of which 80 will receive GSK2894512 1% cream and 40 will receive vehicle cream. Total duration of a subject's participation in the study will be approximately for 14 to 17 weeks.
GSK2894512 (trans-isomer) is a fully synthetic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. This study is being conducted to evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of GSK2894512 cream, 1 percent administered topically to healthy adult subjects. PK parameters obtained in this study will be used to support the design of future maximum use PK (MUPK) studies in subjects with atopic dermatitis (AD) and plaque psoriasis or psoriasis (PSO). This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 3-period, sequential, inpatient study consists of a Screening visit, 3 treatment periods and a follow-up visit. GSK2894512 cream, 1 percent (or matching vehicle) will be administered sequentially in the treatment periods. Period 1 will include once daily repeated topical applications on approximately 5000 centimeter (cm) ^2 intact non-occluded skin area for 21 days. Period 2 will include once daily repeated topical applications on approximately 5000 cm^2 intact occluded skin area for 21 days. Period 3 will include a single topical application on up to 400 cm^2 gently taped-stripped skin area. Each treatment regimen will be followed by washout period for approximately 21 days, except for Treatment Period 3. Approximately 26 healthy adult subjects will be enrolled in to the study. Total duration of participation in this study will be approximately 18 weeks.
Investigators will sample the skin and blood of patients with chronic skin conditions (including but not limited to atopic dermatitis (AD), contact dermatitis, hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and psoriasis) to study the expression of anti-oxidative enzymes, skin barrier proteins and inflammatory molecules. In patients with atopic dermatitis, investigators will also measure skin barrier function using noninvasive devices. These results will be correlated with the disease severity in atopic dermatitis patients.
This study aims to evaluate more objectively, through an imaging technique such as ultrasound, changes in joints and entheses of patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PAs) who will start treatment with Apremilast after the failure of other therapies such as synthetic DMARD (metrotrexato , Leflunomide ...). The hypothesis of the study is that the technique of ultrasound can demonstrate the efficacy of Apremilast in the treatment of patients with active PAs
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. Two interpatient arms will be used to compare the efficacy of combination of NBUVB with an occlusive dressing (active) to no treatment (control). 32 patients will be enrolled in this 30 week study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of DFD-06 to suppress the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis when applied twice daily for 15 days.
Chronic inflammatory diseases (CID) - including inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis), rheumatic conditions (rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis), inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa) and non-infectious uveitis are treated with biologics targeting the pro-inflammatory molecule tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF), i.e. TNF inhibitors. Up to one third of the patients do, however, not respond to biologics and lifestyle is assumed to affect the treatment outcome. However, little is known on the effects of lifestyle as a prognostic factor (possibly enabling personalised medicine). The aims of this multidisciplinary collaboration are to identify lifestyle factors that support individualised forecasting of optimised treatment outcome on these costly drugs. This prospective cohort study will enrol CID patients assigned for biologic treatment. At baseline (Pre-treatment), patient characteristics are assessed using patient-reported outcome measures and clinical assessments on disease activity, quality of life, and lifestyle together with registry data on comorbidity and medication. Follow-up will be conducted at week 14-16 after treatment initiation (according to the current Danish standards). Evaluation of a successful treatment outcome response will - for each disease - be based on most frequently used primary endpoints; the major outcome of the analyses will be to detect differences in treatment outcome between patients with specific lifestyle characteristics. The overarching goal of this project is to improve the lives of patients suffering from CID, by providing evidence to support dietary recommendations likely to improve the clinical outcome. The study is approved by the local Ethics Committee (S-20160124) and the local Data Agency (2008-58-035). The study findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, via patient associations, and presented at national and international conferences.
In dermatology, biologic medications are used to treat conditions such as moderate-to-severe psoriasis. These medications generally function to decrease inflammation or disrupt the inflammatory cycle. Examples of biologic medications commonly used in dermatology include tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), blockers/inhibitors (etanercept, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab), interleukin 12/23 blockers (ustekinumab) and interleukin 17A blockers (secukinumab, ixekizumab). Due to biologic medication's efficacy and safety profiles, they have revolutionized dermatology and the general medical field. However, patients may be apprehensive about choosing a biologic medication for a variety of reasons. These include hearing negative information about the drug from friends or family, being nervous about injection, or seeing the drug or its side effects negatively portrayed in the media. Many patients are not aware that clinical trial evidence for biologics exist, and instead may rely on anecdotal evidence in choosing to take these medications. Because fear of the drug is inherently subjective, it can be modified with appropriate reassurance and presentation of evidence. Physicians must be able to ascertain from where the fear originates and how it can be countered. By understanding what kind of information will allow patients to be confident in their decision to take a biologic, dermatologists can improve outcomes and initiate use of this drug. Furthermore, reducing fear of side effects or adverse events may improve adherence to treatment and may improve treatment outcomes. The investigators propose this study with the goal of learning whether patients are more confident in the potential success of biologic medications in treating their psoriasis after being presented with clinical trial evidence, anecdotal evidence, or both.
This trial will test the hypothesis that the administration of CF101, a novel anti-inflammatory agent, to patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will relieve signs and symptoms of the disease. CF101 effect will be in comparison to apremilast in this study population
