View clinical trials related to Psoriasis Vulgaris.
Filter by:Psoriasis vulgaris is a common inflammatory condition of the skin that results in scaly red itchy plaques. In addition to affecting the skin, psoriasis can also cause disease in the finger and toe nails. The most characteristic nail findings associated with nail psoriasis are nail pitting, onycholysis with a rim of erythema, and oil spots. Because nail psoriasis causes a substantial disease burden for patients, it is critical that safe and effective treatments are found for this specific type of psoriasis. Unfortunately, nail psoriasis is often difficult to treat. Apremilast is an orally available small molecule inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) that is FDA approved for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Apremilast has shown promising results for treating psoriatic arthritis and nail disease; however more data is needed regarding its effect on nail psoriasis (Kavanaugh, et al). We hypothesize that apremilast will prove to be highly effective in treating nail psoriasis. We propose to conduct an open label clinical trial to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of apremilast in treating nail psoriasis, where we will follow the package insert guidelines for treating patients with apremilast.
Ultraviolet (UV) phototherapy is a standard treatment for many inflammatory dermatological diseases, including psoriasis. The systemic effects of UV phototherapy are still not well studied. There are several factors that may affect patient's cardiovascular (CV) risk during UV phototherapy. Atherosclerosis is now known to have an inflammatory origin and to be frequently associated with psoriasis. In this study the investigators aim at studying the effect of psoralen-UVA phototherapy on several biomarkers of CV risk in patients with psoriasis with or without atherosclerosis.
Vasoconstriction study with LEO 90100
Multinational real-life study of current psoriasis treatment strategies, topical treatment patterns and treatment outcomes of these treatments, including the newly introduced calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate aerosol foam fixed combination product Enstilar® (calcipotriol/betamethasone dipropionate).
This is a multicenter, multinational (12 centers planned, in Germany 9 centers and in France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (UK) 1 center in each country respectively), randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study. The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe Psoriasis compared to Placebo as assessed by the primary endpoint "75% reduction of Psoriasis Area Severity Index" (PASI 75 ) during a 16 week treatment phase. As secondary objectives the safety and efficacy of the optimized treatment schedule will be assessed using multiple methods (e.g. (Serious) Adverse Events ((S)AE) occurrence and questionnaires)
A phase 3 trial comparing the efficacy and safety of LEO 90100 aerosol foam with the aerosol foam vehicle used twice weekly as long-term maintenance therapy in subjects with psoriasis vulgaris. A 12-month, international, multi-centre, randomised, vehicle controlled, double-blind, 2-arm, parallel group trial.
A study of LEO 32731 in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris
Study to assess Pharmacodynamics, Safety, Pharmacokinetics and clinical effects of TAB08 during 12 weeks of treatment in patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris, not adequately controlled with current therapy.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of multiple oral doses of LEO 32731 on the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of the cytochrome P450 3A substrate midazolam in healthy male subjects.
Patients will be screened up to 28 days before start of treatment. During the screening visit, the purpose and procedures of the study will be explained to potential patients and informed consent will be obtained. At the baseline visit, all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be re-assessed. Eligible patients will be randomized to treatment of the target area with either 30 minutes (group30) or 15 minutes (group15) blue light at 600 milliwatt per square centimeter (mW/cm²). Additionally, two study areas with similar clinical symptomatology will be determined and will be randomized to blue light treated area and Daivonex (Vitamin D) treated area. After randomization, patients will be trained on a demonstrator device (no actual treatment to ensure investigator is blinded as to which group the patient is randomized to) as well as the Daivonex cream. After patients have been instructed, treatment of the areas will be applied daily (once per day, 5-7 times / week) at home for a treatment period of 12 weeks. During those 12 weeks, patients will return to the study site for safety and effectiveness assessments at week 2, 4, 8 and week 12. A phone call visit will be performed after one week of treatment to check for any adverse events or problems in handling the device or the cream. The visit at week 12 serves as end of treatment visit. The patients will be followed-up for another 4 weeks. Treatment responses will be photo documented.
