M5181 - a novel vitamin D3 analogue - is currently under development for the treatment of plaque psoriasis and is being developed as a topical ointment formulation (M518101) Clinical and non-clinical studies indicate that M5181 is an effective treatment for plaque psoriasis. Based on the results of previous phase II trials the phase III trial has been designed to evaluate efficacy and safety of an 8-week treatment period with 50 μg/g M518101 in a larger population of patients with stable plaque psoriasis.
TRANSREG will assess the safety and biological efficacy of low-dose IL2 as a Treg inducer in a set of 14 autoimmune and auto-inflammatory diseases, with the aim to select diseases in which further therapeutic development will be performed. Extensive biological- and immune-monitoring pre- and post-IL2 will contribute (i) to define the common or distinct processes responsible for the breakdown of immunological tolerance in these pathologies and (ii) to discover potential biomarkers of the IL2 response.
This study will test the clinical effectiveness and safety of two orally administered doses of apremilast compared to placebo in Japanese patients with moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis.
The primary objectives of the study are: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of three dose levels of MT-1303 in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. - To evaluate the efficacy of three doses levels of MT-1303 in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis compared to placebo after 16 weeks of treatment on Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI).
Dendritic cells are a key component of the inflammatory response seen in psoriasis. Several current psoriasis therapies have been shown to reduce the number of dendritic cells in patients with psoriasis, leading researchers to believe that therapies specifically targeting dendritic cells may lead to improvement in psoriasis. Research recently conducted in Dr. Gallo's lab at the University of California San Diego has shown that transgenic mice overexpressing the enzyme hyaluronidase have a significant decrease in the number of dendritic cells in the dermal component of their skin compared to wild type mice. If hyaluronidase overexpression in humans also decreases the number of dendritic cells in the dermis, then hyaluronidase therapy may improve the clinical presentation of psoriasis. In order to test this hypothesis, recombinant human hyaluronidase (Hylenex®) will be injected subcutaneously below a psoriatic plaque in human psoriasis patients every week for a total of 4 weeks. Each week the clinical appearance of the plaque will be documented. At the final visit skin biopsies of the treated plaque will be taken to visualize the histology of the plaque and look for changes in expression of different inflammatory markers.
This study is conducted to assess the potential of topically-applied GSK2894512 cream at 3 concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) to induce skin irritation at the site of application in healthy subjects. Results from this study will be considered when selecting the concentration(s) of GSK2894512 to evaluate in the Phase II and Phase III clinical safety and efficacy studies. Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled in order to have at least 30 evaluable subjects complete the study. The total duration of subject participation may be up to 50 days.
The purpose of this study is to document quality of life, patient satisfaction, effect on itching, and control of psoriasis vulgaris associated with use of calcipotriene/betamethasone dipropionate (Taclonex®) topical suspension 0.005% / 0.064% for treatment of plaque psoriasis under real-life conditions.
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between two types of cell signals, type I interferon (IFN) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), in psoriatic skin prior to and during treatment with etanercept and correlate that information with the degree of the improvement in the psoriasis.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the efficacy and safety of ABP 501 and adalimumab (HUMIRA®) in adults with plaque psoriasis.
