Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of fractional radiofrequency for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris.
This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of a photodynamic therapy(PDT) based on a new photosensitizer, Chlorin-e6, in the treatment of moderate to severe acne. The hypothesis is that the therapy has good efficacy, safety and tolerability.
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease in adolescents and young adults. Adult or post-adolescent acne occurs in 12-14% of this population.It is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit .The clinical features of acne include seborrhoea, non-inflammatory lesions (open and closed comedones), inflammatory lesions (papules and pustules), and various degrees of scarring. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared by simple centrifugation of whole blood to concentrate platelets and simultaneously remove red blood cells. The resultant supernatant is the PRP that contains various growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF).These growth factors are involved in the healing of soft tissue and can regulate cellular processes such as chemotaxis, angiogenesis, mitogenesis, differentiation, and metabolism . Topical retinoids are used in the treatment of both noninflammatory and inflammatory acne.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved three topical retinoids: adapalene, tazarotene, and tretinoin. These agents help normalize follicular keratinization and decrease keratinocyte cohesiveness, thereby reducing follicular occlusion and comedon formation .Topical retinoids also compete with factors involved in the acne inflammation response, enhance penetration of other topical acne medications, and accelerate the resolution of acne-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Updates from the Global Alliance on Improving Outcomes in Acne consider topical retinoids as first-line therapy, individually or in combination with benzoyl peroxide. However, the common side effects of skin irritation and discomfort may impede adherence to long-term therapy. For patients with acne, combination therapy with a topical retinoid and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has not yet been tested. PRP with topical retinoids will be evaluated and campared with topical retinoids alone in acne tretment.
Artificial intelligence (AI) based on imaging holds tremendous potential to enhance visual diagnostic accuracy in the medical field. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, limited access to in-person healthcare services drove shifts in medical care, hastening the adoption of telemedicine. In this context, AI usage for triage and decision support may be crucial for professionals to manage workload and improve performance. In dermatology, pigmented lesions, acne, and alopecia are three recurring pathology groups with high demand in dermatological centers. Both triage, clinical evaluation, and patient follow-up require in-person resources and specialist dedication. Employing tools like AI can benefit these professionals in reducing such processes and optimizing workload. Advancements in image recognition and interpretation, as well as in artificial intelligence, have spurred innovations in diagnosing various pathologies, including skin conditions. Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems and other algorithm-based technologies have demonstrated the ability to classify lesion images with a competency comparable to that of an expert physician. In this study, the Legit.Health tool, developed by AI LABS GROUP S.L., which utilizes artificial intelligence to optimize clinical flow and patient care processes for skin conditions, will be evaluated. The purpose of this tool is to automatically prioritize patients with greater urgency, assign the type of consultation (dermatological or aesthetic), enhance diagnostic capability and detection of malignant pigmented lesions in auxiliary staff, and provide a visual record (photograph) of the condition for later review by external experts. Thus, the main objective of this study is to validate that Legit.Health, based on Artificial Intelligence, improves efficiency in clinical flow and patient care processes, thereby reducing time and cost of patient care through enhanced diagnostic accuracy and severity determination. The secondary objectives focus on measuring the diagnostic performance of Legit.Health: Demonstrate that Legit.Health enhances healthcare professionals' ability to detect malignant or suspicious pigmented lesions. Demonstrate that Legit.Health improves healthcare professionals' ability and precision in measuring the degree of involvement in patients with female androgenetic alopecia. Demonstrate that Legit.Health improves healthcare professionals' ability and precision in measuring the degree of involvement in patients with acne. Additionally, the study aims to assess the utility of this tool: Automate the triage/initial assessment process in patients presenting with pigmented lesions. Evaluate the reduction in healthcare resources usage by the center by reducing the number of triage consultations and directing the patient directly to the appropriate consultation (esthetic or dermatological). Evaluate Legit.Health's usability by the patient. Demonstrate that Legit.Health increases specialist satisfaction. Evaluate the reduction in healthcare resources usage by reducing the number of triage consultations and directing the patient directly to the appropriate consultation, whether in aesthetic or dermatological settings. Methodology Study Design Type This is an observational study, both prospective with a longitudinal character and retrospective case series. Study Period This study estimates a recruitment period of 3 months. The total study duration is estimated at 6 months, including the previous time for retrospective analysis and the necessary time after recruiting the last subject for database closure and editing, data analysis, and preparation of the final study report. The total study duration for each participant with pigmented lesions will be 1-3 months. The duration for patients with acne and alopecia will be 1 day. Study Population Adult patients (≥ 18 years) with skin pathologies treated at the Dermatology Unit of IDEI.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of doxycycline and metformin in treatment of acne vulgaris patients. The main question is aimed to answer is whether metformin is more effective than doxycycline in treatment of acne vulgaris patient or not. Patients will be asked to take doxycycline along with tropical treatment in one group and metformin along with tropical treatment in another group. Researcher will compare the clinical improvement in two groups.
Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit resulting from androgen-induced increased sebum production, altered keratinization, inflammation, and bacterial colonization of hair follicles on the face, neck, chest, and back by, Cutibacterium acnes. Although all age groups can be affected, it is primarily a disease of adolescence. Treatment selection is based on disease severity, patient preference, and tolerability. Isotretinoin is drug of chioce used for moderate and severe acne. Isotretinoin results in a significant reduction in sebum production, influences comedogenesis, lowers surface and ductal c. acnes and has anti-inflammatory properties. Biotin deficiency may be caused by insufficient dietary uptake of biotin, drug- vitamin interactions and increased biotin catabolism during pregnancy and in smokers. Biotin deficiency can also be precipitated by decreased activities of biotinidase, which plays a central role in the intestinal absorption of biotin
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASC40 (Denifanstat) tablets compared to placebo in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe acne vulgaris. The proposed plan for this trial is to enroll subjects who are 18-40 years of age (including borderline values), with a diagnosis of moderate to severe acne vulgaris, and an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) graded as moderate (grade 3) or severe (grade 4). 480 subjects were planned to be enrolled in the trial and placebo groups, with all subjects randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ASC40 (denifanstat) tablets dose 1 or placebo, administered orally once daily (taken after dinner) for 12 weeks. There will be a total of 6 visits for screening and follow-up. The tests required by the program included routine blood tests, blood biochemistry, lipid profile, pregnancy test and urine routine, etc..
