Informative Value of Determining the Level of NF-κB Translocation in Lymphocyte Populations in Children With Psoriasis

Psoriasis Vulgaris Clinical Trial

Official title: Informative Value of Determining the Level of NF-κB Translocation by Flow Cytometry With Visualization in Lymphocyte Populations in Children With Psoriasis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is the first to quantify the level of NF-kB translocation in lymphocyte populations in children and adolescents with psoriasis of varying severity.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a diagnostic study aimed at finding immunological predictors of the effectiveness of therapy in children and adolescents with psoriasis.

The study included 90 patients from 1 to 18 years old with psoriasis vulgaris, mild / moderate and severe. The comparison group consisted of 30 healthy children.

The study took into account the PASI (Psoriasis Area Severity Index); the BSA (Body Surface Area); including patient age; duration of the disease; type of therapy; duration of therapy. Depending on the type of therapy, all psoriatic children were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 (n = 24) - patients receiving basic and external therapy; Group 2 (n = 20) - patients receiving systemic therapy with methotrexate; and Group 3 (n = 46) - patients receiving therapy with genetically engineered biological drugs (Adalimumab, Etanercept, Ustekinumab).

The analysis of the NF-κB translocation level in lymphocytes was performed by flow cytometry with imaging (Image Stream Mark II - AMNIS) using the Amnis NF-κB Translocation Kit. ;
