Secukinumab Therapy for the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Plaque

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase IV, single-center, open label, single arm study in which a group of 30 subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will receive secukinumab therapy. Non-invasive imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) will be used to monitor the resolution of psoriatic plaques with treatment in comparison to observed clinical improvements. Early subclinical finding will be used to elucidate drug mechanism of action. Assessment will be based on intrasubject comparisons, and all findings will be compared to patients baseline imaging.

Clinical Trial Description

Secukinumab, an anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody, is an effective treatment for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.While there is an abundance of clinical data in the literature supporting the clinical efficacy of this therapy, there is limited data on early disease clearance and other histologic findings elucidating a drug mechanism of action. Hyper-proliferation of the epidermis and inflammation of dermis seen in psoriasis are thought to be due to persistent T-cell activation and production of several pro-inflammatory cytokines by dermal immune reaction. Therefore, with treatments with immunomodulatory effects, such as Secukinumab, monitoring markers of inflammation, angiogenesis, and collagen synthesis would be useful in establishing mechanism of action. While a skin biopsy can show these findings at one moment in time, it does not allow for repetitive monitoring overtime. The investigators propose the use of non-invasive imaging with Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to demonstrate histologic features of plaque psoriasis not clinically evident. Upon completion of the study, the investigators will assess when OCT improvements of psoriasis treatment are detectable and how these findings correlate to observed clinical improvements. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
