Filter by:• Main objectives and outcome measures. 1. Establish prevalence of and factors contributing to fatty liver disease and liver fibrosis in patients with psoriasis. Fatty liver disease diagnosed via ultrasound. Liver fibrosis diagnosed by liver biopsy or non-invasive tests of fibrosis including transient elastography, ultrasound, serum markers of fibrosis including procollagen-3-N-terminal peptide (P3NP). 2. Evaluate non-invasive markers of liver fibrosis in the psoriasis population. Namely transient elastography, standard liver function tests and P3NP. 3. Evaluate the impact of psoriasis disease severity and comorbidities including metabolic syndrome on response to treatment in patients with psoriasis. Data on co-morbid disease collected through questionnaires and review of medical records. Response to treatment assessed using psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) physician global assessment (PGA) and dermatology life quality index (DLQI). - Study population: 380 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis will be prospectively recruited to the study. - Chief investigator: Professor Jonathan Barker. Co-investigator: Professor Catherine Smith - Sponsor/funding organization: Pfizer and Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) at Guys and St Thomas Hospitals Trust
Methotrexate (MTX) is widely prescribed to treat inflammatory conditions including psoriasis, where it is the recommended first-line systemic therapy in moderate-to-severe disease. Approximately 40% of patients with psoriasis have a sub-optimal response to MTX and a significant number experience side effects that may include deranged liver enzymes. There is currently no validated test to predict how patients with psoriasis will respond to MTX, in terms of disease outcome and/or toxicity, or to guide dose escalation in this group.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of switching from Remicade to the biosimilar treatment Remsima in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and chronic plaque psoriasis
The aim of this post-marketing observational study (PMOS) was to obtain further data on long-term safety, efficacy, and quality of life outcomes for adalimumab in routine clinical use in participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis after unsustainable clinical response to other biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (BDMARDs). There are few data so far showing the effects of switching from other BDMARDs to adalimumab in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This study was designed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of adalimumab in participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) in participants previously treated with efalizumab, infliximab, or etanercept and who either never achieved satisfactory response, achieved satisfactory response initially but lost it over time, or discontinued treatment due to intolerance/side effect(s) or other reasons, for example after regular stop of etanercept.
