This study provided a comparison of secukinumab to placebo with respect to skin inflammation as measured by skin exams in comparison to skin biopsies, adipose tissue and blood sample analyses.
This is designated to validate patient-reported outcomes (PRO) measures in itch-specific pediatric skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, and examine the ability of a modified stigma instrument to assess the severity and type of stigma experienced in atopic dermatitis and other potentially stigmatizing conditions.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque Psoriasis (PSO) in Japanese subjects.
Psoriasis and atopic dermatitis are chronic inflammatory disease that account for a significant amount of patients in most dermatological practices. Topical corticosteroid agents are often prescribed for treatment of both these conditions, especially when they are localized rather than wide spread. The development of resistance to treatment is termed tachyphylaxis. Poor adherence, rather than down regulation of receptors, may be the primary cause of tachyphylaxis to topical corticosteroids. The primary objective of the study is to determine, under conditions designed to assure good adherence, whether topical 0.25% desoximetasone spray improves clinical outcomes in patients who have resistant inflammatory skin disease defined by failure of previous topical steroid treatment.
Transcriptomics is the study of how RNA is expressed under specific conditions. Transcriptomic analyses of lesional skin biopsies can be a useful way to track how a patient responds to a drug and separate out drug responders from non-responders. However, biopsies are painful, carry risk of bleeding infections and scarring. A non-invasive approach, such as tape-harvesting, to obtain transcriptomic data from psoriatic skin would increase our capabilities to monitor patients on treatment and potentially help us predict if the drug will be effective sooner. However, it is not known how well tape-harvesting can capture transcriptomic changes that are occurring in psoriatic skin. The purpose of this study is to address how well tape-harvesting captures the transcriptomic changes that are occurring in psoriatic skin.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term safety and efficacy of risankizumab in the treatment of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
The Sponsor is developing the study drug, AZD0284, for the potential treatment of Plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales. It occurs when skin cells are replaced more quickly than usual. The seriousness of psoriasis varies greatly from person to person. For some people it is a minor irritation, but for others it can have a major impact on their quality of life. . The purpose of the study is to determine how much of AZD0284 is taken up by the body. The safety and tolerability of the drug will also be assessed. It is hoped that the study drug will improve the management of psoriasis.
Biologics are used to treat conditions such as moderate-to-severe psoriasis, a chronic condition that impairs quality of life as much or more than other major medical conditions. Biopharmaceuticals are medications which are are isolated from biological sources including microorganisms, animals or humans. These medications generally function to decrease inflammation or disrupt the inflammatory cycle. Patients are often apprehensive about choosing a biologic medication over other options due to anxiety regarding the need for regular injections, leaving the patient undertreated and continuing to suffer with psoriasis. Reducing fears of injections may improve adherence to treatment and may improve treatment outcomes. Fear of injection is inherently subjective and may be easily modified. Anchoring is the tendency for humans to rely on a specific value when making decisions and to make judgments relative to that value. Patients who have never taken an injection will subjectively view the idea of taking an injection relative to the "not taking any injection" baseline. This comparison is scary and represents a considerable hurdle to taking a new injectable medication that may be otherwise optimal for their treatment. Resetting the anchor may be all that is needed to help patients overcome fear of injection. The objective is to assess whether patients offered a once monthly injectable biologic would be more likely to accept that biologic medication if they are first counseled about a daily injection.
This is a Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, subject-blind, investigator-blind, study to investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of bimekizumab in adult subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis
