Filter by:Psoriasis, is an inflammatory chronic skin disease which has a heavy physical and psychosocial impact on participant's life. This is a study to finalize and validate a questionnaire to assess the long-term effect of long-term psoriasis in adult participants. Approximately 550 adult participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will be enrolled in approximately 15 dermatology centers in Italy. Participants will receive standard of care while participating in this study. No drug will be administered as a part of this study. The duration of this study is up to 22 months. There is no additional burden for participants in this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the study drug recombinant anti-IL-17A humanized monoclonal antibody in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
We are conducting a proof-of-concept trial to study the impact of HRV-biofeedback, a mind-body technique designed to improve stress resilience, on the quality of life, mood, and clinical skin severity of patients with psoriasis.
Through the combination of clinical manifestations and omics, the investigators aim to explore the skin cell atlas in different stages of psoriasis lesions, establish a clinical classification standard for psoriasis, and guide the precise treatment of psoriasis.
Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are multifactorial inflammatory dermatoses, with a very high prevalence, reaching more than 120 million patients in the world. Although the physiopathological mechanisms are not yet clearly defined, these inflammatory dermatoses involve an interaction between the immune system and the epidermal cells, severe skin inflammation and often very intense pruritus. The objectives of an effective management should be to treat lesions in order to reduce them, but also to reduce itching and allow the patients to accept and cope with their pathology, without neglecting an improvement in the "Dermatology Life Quality Index" (DLQI) and in the psychological state, sometimes depressive, of the patient. Itching is defined as "a feeling that needs to be scratched urgently" and can cause significant distress along with pain. It severely impacts the quality of life and the quality of sleep. Chronic itching is associated with increased stress, anxiety, and other mood disorders. In turn, stress and anxiety exacerbate the itching, leading to a vicious cycle of pruritus - scratching that affects patient behavior (excessive scratching) and worsens disease prognosis and quality of life. Much research over the past few decades has demonstrated the effect of mindfulness meditation on emotional and cognitive responsiveness, cognitive flexibility, rumination, self-compassion and mindfulness, but also on acute pain, anxiety, stress, depression, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, cancer and cognitive loss with age. Several studies have shown the impact of mindfulness on brain function and immunity, with evidence for the association between mindfulness and changes in the levels of markers characteristic of immune system activity and inflammation, known to be increased in psoriasis or atopic dermatitis. The objective is to evaluate the effect of mental training in the regulation of stress and emotions through mindfulness meditation in patients with moderate, itchy atopic dermatitis or psoriasis, not treated with systemic agents (e.g.: biotherapies). This project is based on the premise that mental training in the regulation of stress and emotions through meditation would reduce the effects of the infernal itch-scratch cycle, alleviating pruritus, thus improving the well-being and mental health of patients while reducing their inflammatory skin lesions and limiting the appearance of new lesions.
This is a Phase 3 Study to Compare Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy and Safety of CT-P17 with Humira in Patients with Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Rationale: Currently, the healthcare sector is under tremendous financial pressure, and many acknowledge that a dramatic shift is required as the current system is not sustainable. Furthermore, the quality of care that is delivered varies strongly. Several solutions have been proposed of which the conceptual framework known as value-based healthcare (VBHC) is further explored in this study for psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which is associated with high treatment costs. Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of using the VBHC framework for the management of psoriasis. Study design: The IRIS (value In psoRiasIS) study will be a prospective clinical trial in which new patients attending the psoriasis clinic (PsoPlus) of the Ghent University Hospital will be followed up during a period of 1 year. Study population: The study population consists of psoriasis patients attending the PsoPlus for the first time. Main study parameters/endpoints: The main outcome is to determine the value created for new psoriasis patients in PsoPlus over a period of 1 year. Thus, the main study parameters pertain to clinically and patient reported outcomes as well as the full cost for treating patients under the year of review, including referrals to other departments. Secondary outcomes are related to comorbidity control, individual outcomes and determining cost drivers. In addition, a bundled payment scheme should be determined as well as potential improvements in the treatment process.
This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Single and Multiple AscendingDose Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ICP-488 in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Psoriasis
To evaluate SGX302 (topical hypericin ointment) with visible light in an initial 18-week treatment course for improving lesions in patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a chronic cutaneous inflammatory disease due to immune dysregulation. It caused skin lesions with thickening plaques and heavy silver scales over the patient's body surface area, including nail deformity, often accompanied by severe itching and pain. Psoriasis is not a contagious or infectious skin disorder, but patients' quality of life is often severely affected by skin symptoms. The annual prevalence of psoriasis in Taiwan is about 0.235%, and about one in 500 people may get psoriasis. Psoriasis has not just skin problems, but it often combines with other comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, metabolic syndrome such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, cardiovascular diseases such as stroke or ischemic heart disease, liver and kidney diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, iritis, and mental illness related to emotional stress and depression. Therefore, patients with psoriasis should regularly receive appropriate therapies to prevent complications and comorbidities. The current standard treatments for psoriasis include traditional topical and systemic treatments, phototherapy, and biologics. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is also an alternative treatment for psoriasis due to considerable benefits and lower toxicity. Chinese medicine still plays a vital role in the treatment of psoriasis in Taiwanese societies. This experiment will further explore the anti-inflammatory effect of Jing-Si-Herbal-Tea combined with traditional western medicine for three months to reduce inflammatory mediators in the skin and blood and improve the disease severity and quality of life for psoriatic patients. key words：Psoriasis, Psoriatic arthritis, Comorbidities, Treatment, Jing-Si-Herbal-Tea, Chinese medicine
