Filter by:Study CSL324_1002 will investigate the safety and pharmacokinetics of repeat doses of CSL324 in subjects with hidradenitis suppurativa and palmoplantar pustulosis. CSL324 is a novel, recombinant therapy that may treat diseases caused by increased numbers of neutrophils at sites of inflammation.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety, and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of multiple doses of imsidolimab (ANB019) in adults with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab for the treatment of participants with palmoplantar pustulosis.
Background: - Inflammatory pustular skin diseases are a type of autoinflammatory disease in which the immune system attacks the bodys tissues. These diseases cause painful and itchy skin rashes, eye and mouth irritation, joint pain and fever. Several drugs for treating these diseases suppress the immune system. However, they can cause severe side effects when taken over a long period of time. - Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is a small protein that may be important in causing the inflammation seen in pustular skin disease. Anakinra is a drug that works by blocking IL-1. It has been effective in treating some inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. However, anakinra has not been studied for use in patients with pustular skin disease. Researchers want to see whether anakinra will be effective in treating pustular skin disease. Objectives: - To see if anakinra can be used to treat inflammatory pustular skin disease. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have inflammatory pustular skin disease. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Their disease will be evaluated with blood tests, urine tests and imaging studies. Skin biopsies may also be collected. - Participants will have an initial visit to receive the first dose of anakinra. They will be shown how to give themselves daily injections of anakinra. - Participants will take anakinra for up to 12 weeks as long as there are no severe side effects. During this time, they will keep a study diary to record the severity of any rashes, pustules, itching, fevers, and skin or joint pain. They will bring this diary to their study visits. - Participants will have study visits at weeks 4, 8 and 12. Treatment will be monitored at these visits with blood tests, urine tests and physical exams. Depending on the effects of the treatment, participants may have the dose of anakinra increased or decreased. - Participants will have a final study visit 4 weeks after they stop taking anakinra.
This study is being done to learn more about a less common "type" of psoriasis, called palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). The majority of the current treatments used for this type of psoriasis have only a moderate effect on PPP. Thus, the investigators believe that PPP may be a different disease entity altogether, requiring different therapies. As such, the investigators hope to discover an immune signature for this condition. An immune "signature" is the unique way in which the combination of genes, cells, and proteins of the immune system work for each person. Because both psoriasis and the type of psoriasis patients have been diagnosed with, PPP, are conditions of abnormal immune system function, it is important to understand the overall function of the immune system in this condition (that is, find the immune "signature"). This study should help identify an immune system "signature" in people with PPP. The investigators have a laboratory technology which allows them to read the genetic "signatures" of a person's blood cells. Genes contain the instructions for making living things. Genes are contained in the cells' DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Most DNA is the same among humans, but the small differences people have in their DNA may explain why people develop different diseases. DNA and the genes it contains help produce RNA (ribonucleic acid), which in turn helps make proteins in people's cells. Differences in the types of proteins and the amount of those different proteins people's cells produce can affect a person's immune system. To help the investigators determine the immune "signature" in PPP, they will be examining the different genes, cells, and proteins that are active in patients with PPP versus patients who do not have the condition. The investigators will examine these genes, cells, and proteins in skin (through a skin sample) and in blood (through a blood draw). The goal is to develop new treatments for this skin condition. To do this, the investigators need to compare the skin and blood of patients with this particular type of psoriasis to the samples of healthy patients.
