Filter by:Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory cutaneous disease, affecting 3% of the French population. Among psoriatic patients, 80% feel pain or cutaneous discomfort related to their pathology. Neurogenic inflammation's role in psoriasis has recently been put forward by a study showing that TRPV1 ion channels are necessary to establish psoriasiform inflammation in mice. The investigators hypothesize that there is a link between cutaneous sensory neuropathies and altered cutaneous microcirculation during psoriasis. In order to test this hypothesis, local vasodilators will be delivered to patients by iontophoresis and their skin blood flow in response to these molecules will be followed by laser Doppler recordings. Two recordings will be performed for each patient, both on a psoriasis plaque and on uninvolved skin, in order for the patient to be his own internal control.
The humanized recombinant anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody Injection (T1h) has been approved for psoriasis in India. The first trial in China is to evaluate the tolerability, safety, pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetics and preliminary efficacy of T1h for patients with psoriasis.
Psoriasis vulgaris is a common, chronic, relapsing skin disease characterized by predominant involvement of skin, nails and joints. Recent advances in its patho-physiology have shifted the notion of psoriasis from that of a 'disease of the skin' to a 'T-cell mediated systemic disease'. Better understanding of its pathogenesis and co-morbidities along with the development of novel therapeutics like biological response modifiers has changed the way dermatologists approach the management of psoriasis. Based on the extent of involvement and effect on the quality of life, psoriasis may be mild to moderate in severity. This in turn forms the basis of treatment in majority of the patients. Topical therapies like coal tar, calcipotriol and corticosteroids are sufficient for mild and localized psoriasis. In more widespread or severe forms that are associated with significant decrease in quality of life of patient, phototherapy and systemic therapies are indicated either alone or in combination with each other. Although the introduction of biological therapies has revolutionized the treatment of psoriasis in recent years, such newer therapeutic options continue to elude the vast majority of patients in the developing and under developed world where the traditional agents like methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin and phototherapy still form the backbone of treatment. The association of psoriasis with metabolic syndrome is now well documented. Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors including central obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hypertension and glucose intolerance and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and stroke. Metformin, an oral hypoglycemic agent of biguanide class is known for its multitude of action on various facets of metabolic syndrome. Recently it has also been found to inhibit keratinocyte proliferation in cell culture model of psoriasis. The present study is designed as a randomized controlled double blind pilot study in which 40 patients with chronic plaque psoriasis of moderate severity (PASI ≥ 6 or DLQI ≥ 6) and metabolic syndrome (By modified ATP III criteria)4 or impaired glucose tolerance (defined as two-hour glucose levels of 140 to 199 mg per dL on the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test) will be recruited and randomized into two arms, A and B of 20 each, by using random number tables. Patients in arm A will be treated with topical anti-psoriatic treatment (including coal tar and vitamin D3 analogues only) and oral metformin 1g/day 850mg twice daily and patients in arm B will be treated with topical anti-psoriatic treatment and oral placebo tablets. Post randomization patients will be followed up at regular intervals for 24 weeks. During each visit, patients in both arms will be assessed for the severity of psoriasis by psoriasis activity severity index (PASI) and body mass index (BMI). Fasting blood glucose and insulin level, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and parameters of metabolic syndrome (including waist circumference, fasting lipid profile and blood pressure) will be assessed at baseline and again at week 16 and 24. The primary aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of oral metformin as an add on therapy for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis of moderate severity. The secondary aim is to assess the effect of metformin on parameters of the metabolic syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab for the treatment of participants with palmoplantar pustulosis.
This study aims to describe the patient population treated and the real-life patients' experiences with Xamiol®gel in the long term, up to 52 weeks management of body psoriasis vulgaris in Russia. The result will increase the knowledge on Xamiol®gel enabling dermatologists and patients to optimize its use in the long term management of psoriasis.
This study will compare the efficacy and safety of DFD-06 Cream to Vehicle Cream for topical treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis after 3, 7, and 14 days of treatment.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ixekizumab compared to fumaric acid esters (FAE) and methotrexate (MTX) in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are naive to systemic treatment.
This multiple ascending dose study is to determine safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of PRX003 in approximately 56 patients with Psoriasis.
The objective of this NIS is the collection of data on the utilization of Apremilast under routine conditions in Germany. Patients' quality-of-life and treatment satisfaction on treatment with Apremilast in daily practice will be documented. Moreover, physician's and patient's assessments of the effectiveness and safety of Apremilast will be recorded. FPI was 3rd August 2015, LPO was 14th of June 2018. A total of 391 patients have been enrolled.
Proton pump inhibitors act in blocking acid secretion and also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. For that mechanisms possibly PPIs may have an anti-inflammatory action with improvement in skin lesions in patients with psoriasis.
