Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this experiment is to develop and validate in vitro methods to isolate inflammatory cells from skin biopsies for quantitative flow cytometry analysis. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) will also be performed using skin biopsy samples to validate flow cytometry results. Such methods could eventually be used to better understand the pathophysiology and the mechanism of action of various medications in patients with atopic dermatitis, acne rosacea or vulgaris, HS, and systemic sclerosis. In this study, up to 15 healthy volunteers, 50 patients with atopic dermatitis, 15 patients with acne rosacea, 15 patients with psoriasis (to be used as control), 15 patients with acne vulgaris, 10 patients with psoriasis to develop a method of analysis for systemic sclerosis, and 10 patients with HS will be recruited. For the healthy volunteers, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and HS groups, at least one (1) and a maximum of four (4) skin biopsies (4-5 mm) per subject will be performed. Biopsies will be performed on either the trunk or the limbs, excluding the hands and the feet. At least one (1) and a maximum of three (3) skin biopsies (2-3 mm) per subject will be collected for the acne rosacea and acne vulgaris groups from one or more body location(s) affected by the pathology. For patients with atopic dermatitis, an optional blood draw of up to 10 mL will be collected to measure serum IgE levels. For patients with atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and HS, an optional blood collection of up to 50 mL will be collected to perform flow cytometry on circulating blood cells to study differences in flow cytometry results between cells extracted from biopsies and circulating cells.


Clinical Trial Description

Innovaderm, in collaboration with "The Immunoregulation laboratories of CRCHUM" and "McGill University division of dermatology", recently developed a novel 6-hour method to study IL-17A (Interleukin) and IL-22 from fresh biopsies of psoriatic patients. This reproducible experimental approach combines enzymatic digestion and mechanical dissociation for skin cell isolation. This is followed by a multi-color flow cytometry analysis in the absence of in vitro expansion and re-stimulation. Using this method, we examined the cellular source of IL-17A and IL-22 on a small number (20x10³) of viable CD45+ (Cluster of Differentiation Antigen 45) cells that are freshly isolated from 4 mm punch skin biopsies (n=22 patients with psoriasis). The method was used for the study on "Persistence of IL-17A+ T lymphocytes and IL-17A expression in psoriatic plaques refractory to ustekinumab therapy" presented during the 72nd annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology in Denver. A detailed presentation of this method will be done during the upcoming annual meeting of the Society for Investigative Dermatology in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We would like to investigate and adapt this method for other dermatological conditions such as Atopic Dermatitis, Acne Rosacea and Acne Vulgaris. ;
