Filter by:It has been reported in various epidemiological studies that patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with or without associated psoriatic arthritis, have an increased frequency of cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, obesity, type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM, and metabolic syndrome (MetS). The presence of endothelial dysfunction in early stages, especially in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis forms, could explain the higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease and mortality observed in this population. Existing evidence showing improvement in psoriasis after correcting some factors, such as obesity or hypercholesterolemia, and the reduction of certain surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk with different modalities of psoriasis treatment suggest a biological interaction between the two diseases beyond mere epidemiological association. Recently published results support this hypothesis and suggest that the link between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease could be the existence of an inflammatory state in different organs, including skin, joints, adipose and hepatic tissue, and vascular endothelium (16). Patients with MetS have an increased risk of developing T2DM and cardiovascular disease. This syndrome is characterized by the association of an adipose tissue inflammatory state and diminished sensitivity to insulin. In recent years, a new mechanism participating in the development of MetS has been added: the Wnt signaling pathway. Polymorphisms in genes of the Wnt signaling pathway have been associated with metabolic abnormalities that predispose to cardiovascular disease, the development of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with or without associated psoriatic arthritis, and response to treatment with anti-TNF-alpha. This study aims to describe the cardiovascular risk factors of a Spanish population of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with or without associated psoriatic arthritis,treated with anti-TNF under routine clinical practice conditions. Possible differences in efficacy relative to the presence or absence of criteria of metabolic syndrome will be analyzed. Similarly, we will explore the role of markers of inflammatory activity and genetic polymorphisms in the Wnt pathway in predicting response to treatment during the first year.
The current most important topical treatments for psoriasis are vitamin D3 analogues and/or corticosteroids. The possibility of another effective treatment for psoriasis could be based on the immunosuppressive efficacy of selective blockers of a lymphocyte potassium channel. The aim of the clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-psoriatic efficacy of topical SPS4251 formulations in comparison to placebo and to a marketed topical Vitamin-D analogue ointment in a psoriasis plaque test.
The use of refined indigo naturalis (indigo naturalis extract in oil, INEO)ointment to treat psoriasis has been proven effective in our previous study. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of INEO ointment, and further determine the optimal concentration of INEO ointment (per gram of ointment containing either 200 μg, 100 μg, 50 μg or 10 μg of indirubin) in treatment of various local skin signs and thickness of psoriasis plaque.
The purpose of this observational study is to document the course of disease and relapse management during treatment with Daivobet® Gel under consideration of patient`s individual application habits under daily use conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of DD-25, a new topical drug, on plaque Psoriasis Vulgaris. The study will include subjects at plaque stage from 5-20% body area involvement. A total of 30 subjects will be treated with cream application on affected areas twice daily for three weeks.The efficacy of the preparation will be documented by PASI score, Global physician assessment and photos.
This is a two-center study aimed to assess the efficacy of Dead Sea Minerals in alleviating symptoms of Psoriasis Vulgaris, in 50 patients undergoing phototherapy. A bilateral left right comparison will be made, after using the study product and the placebo, for 8 weeks, twice daily, on each of the body sides (left right). In addition to the clinical evaluations, skin biochemistry will be studied using non-invasive techniques. The latter will be correlated with the clinical results of the patients. These will serve for future development of diagnostic assays and personalized therapies.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-psoriatic effect of Daivobet® gel applied then removed after 10 minutes (+/- 2 minutes), Daivobet® gel applied then removed after 20 minutes (+/- 2 minutes) compared with Daivobet® gel and Daivobet® gel vehicle applied for 24 hours (+/- 2 hours), using the psoriasis plaque test modified from the method developed by KJ Dumas and JR Scholtz.
A Phase 2 Maximal Use Systemic Exposure (MUSE) study evaluating the safety and efficacy of LEO 90100 used once daily in subjects with extensive psoriasis vulgaris.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the anti-psoriatic effect of LEO 35299 in different formulations, compared to Daivonex® ointment and Daivonex® ointment vehicle, using the psoriasis plaque test modified from the method developed by KJ Dumas and JR Scholtz.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether LEO 90100, calcipotriol and betamethasone are effective in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris.
