Filter by: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.
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.
This study will create and extend a source of clinical specimens for the future study of inflammatory skin disorders.
Randomized double blind placebo controlled pilot study/proof of concept-study to see if intradermal injection with Botulinum toxin B is an effective treatment of Hidradenitis suppurativa
This is a pilot study in which the the safety and feasibility of secukinumab in HS patients as well as information about the effect size will be determined in order to inform a future larger randomized control trial with an active comparator.
Patients with bilateral hidradenitis in the axilla, groin and/or inframammary will be treated on one side with the Alexandrite hair removal laser. The other side will serve as the control.
Study design: A double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial Intervention: Randomized placebo controlled treatment of 20 HS patients of which fifteen patients will be randomized to apremilast and five patients to placebo. The total duration of the treatment period per subject is 16 weeks. Primary objectives: To evaluate the expression profile of inflammatory cytokines in HS lesional skin at week four (t=4) and week sixteen (t=16): - of patients receiving apremilast compared to placebo; - within both groups relative to baseline (t=0). Secondary objectives: - To prospectively evaluate the clinical efficacy of apremilast. - To assess the effect of apremilast on patient reported outcomes measures. - To assess the short-term safety and tolerability of apremilast in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa.
To establish the safety of radiotherapy in the treatment of advanced hidradenitis suppurativa. Patients will receive radiotherapy treatment over one week and then they will be followed for the next three months.
The trial enrolls patients with moderate to severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). The primary goal of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IFX-1 administered over 8 weeks in these patients. In addition the trial aims to characterize the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IFX-1 as well as to generate preliminary data on the efficacy of IFX-1 on clinical endpoints (e.g., Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR), Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for disease, VAS for pain, Hidradenitis Suppurativa - Physician's Global Assessment (HS-PGA), Modified Sartorius Score (mSS)).
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of Adalimumab for Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) participants in normal medical practice.
