Telederm and Bullous Pemphigoid

Bullous Pemphigoid Clinical Trial

Official title: Improving Clinical Trial Recruitment and Outcome Measures in Bullous Pemphigoid

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to improve the quality of future clinical trials in bullous pemphigoid (BP), the investigators will monitor repeated measurement data from patients with BP on standard-of-care treatments at four week intervals for four months.

Clinical Trial Description

The study team plans to recruit 45 subjects from the autoimmune blistering disease clinic at Emory Dermatology Clinic. The plan is to improve the quality of future clinical trials in bullous pemphigoid (BP), the team will monitor repeated measurement data from patients with BP on standard-of-care treatments at four week intervals for four months. This time frame will allow completion of both aims in the three year time period. Aim 1 will evaluate the BPDAI scoring over time with specific reductions in the activity score as future outcomes for therapeutic response and assess changes in patient reported outcomes particularly related to pruritus for future clinical trial endpoints. Aim 2 will focus on the development of teledermatology platform for improving patient recruitment and retention. The data from this proposal will be critical for future BP clinical trials and clarify gaps in the current knowledge related to the natural disease history of BP patients on standard-of-care therapies, changes in BPDAI scores over time, and pruritus specific outcome measures to define the quality of life impact. ;
