Filter by:In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in psoriatic and psoriatic arthritis patients as well as the parameters of metabolic syndrome will be examined. At the same time, the levels of omentin and visfatin adipokines associated with metabolic syndrome and obesity will be measured by measuring the disease severity (by PASI psoriasis, clinical activity score for psoriatic arthritis). The patients who accepted to participate in the study , who were admitted to the dermatology outpatient clinic were included in the study. For the blood tests required after the examination, 2 tubes of blood will be taken for the measurement of omentin and visfatin. 80 psoriasis, 40 psoriatic arthritis and 60 healthy volunteers were planned to be studied. AHA / NHLBI, 2005 (revised ATP III criteria) criterion for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome will be used. Omentin and visfatin levels are compared with the severity of the disease for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, and it will be examined whether it is proinflammatory or antiinflammatory.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib on semen parameters in adult males with active rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Results of this study may be pooled with the results of a separate study being conducted in participants with inflammatory bowel disease (Protocol GS-US-418-4279; NCT03201445) with the same objective.
This is a study to demonstrate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared with placebo in the treatment of tumor necrosis factor alpha-inadequate responders (TNFα-IR) subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA).

Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions.
Blood clots occurring in the legs and in the lungs are relatively common; they occur in around 3 in a 1000 people per year. They can cause disability and are also potentially life threatening. When a clot occurs in the legs it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. When they occur in the lungs they are called a pulmonary embolism or PE. The risk for DVT and PE is higher in people with conditions which cause inflammation. The most common of these are inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease), rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriatic arthritis (a condition comprised of psoriasis and joint inflammation). What is not known is how much higher the risk of DVT and PE is in these groups compared with people without inflammatory disease, and what causes the excess risk in these people. This study aims to assess the measure the exact increase in risk for DVT and PE in people with these inflammatory conditions and to identify which risk factors are most strongly associated with the increased risk. These data should help with an understand the causes of blood clot risk in these inflammatory conditions and in identify targets for reducing risk.
There is not much body composition and bone mineral density data available for patients with psoriatic arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis) compared to control subjects. The evaluation of the total fat mass and in particular of its abdominal distribution (visceral adiposity) is important because an excessive adiposity generates adverse effects on the health (hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular risk and resistance to the insulin). In addition, data on changes in body composition and bone mineral density were not available under a new psA treatment, namely ustekinumab (anti-IL12 / 23 antibody). It is proposed to conduct a pilot study to evaluate body composition, distribution (visceral adiposity) and bone mineral density in patients with psoriatic arthritis (versus control subjects) and their changes after 6 months of treatment with ustekinumab
Rationale: Psoriasis (PsO) is a common inflammatory skin disease. Besides the skin, it is recognized that this disease can affect multiple domains such as nails, joints and entheses. About 30% of the patients with PsO will develop symptoms in the musculoskeletal domains. Untreated inflammation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can lead to irreversible joint damage and further reduces quality of life. Since musculoskeletal involvement is often preceded by the dermatological symptoms of PsO, patients with pure cutaneous psoriasis (PsC) should be routinely screened for joint involvement. Current screening questionnaires, like the often used Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST), offer a moderate discrimination between patients with PsA and PsC at best. Our aim is to assert the prevalence of known and previously undiagnosed PsA in a PsC cohort. By comparing the gathered data of the PsA and PsC patients, we hope to improve the screening of PsC patients, and to reduce both undertreatment of locomotor symptoms as well as unnecessary diagnostic investigations. Objective: To ascertain the prevalence of PsA in a tertiary PsO cohort. Secondary objectives will be to ascertain the clinical features of these patients. With these features we want to find clinical, laboratory or genetic markers to predict the presence of PsA in PsO patients. Moreover, we wish to establish the added value of PsA screening for the quality of life (QoL) of PsO patients. Study design: Multicenter cross-sectional study with a single follow-up visit after 1 year. Patients will be screened at baseline for PsA symptoms by a rheumatology resident and referred to a rheumatology clinic if deemed necessary. At baseline, several clinical and sociodemographic parameters will be assessed. We will collect blood samples for diverse biochemical studies and genomic DNA. Patients will be followed for 1 year after active screening for PsA. Quality of life (QoL) and treatment change will be recorded after this period, to assess the effect of screening and referral.
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
POISE is a two arm interventional trial nested within a cohort (Trials Within Cohorts or TWiCs design). This tests less aggressive early therapy in patients newly diagnosed with low impact oligoarticular PsA. Arm 1 will receive standard step up therapy in the cohort and act as the control group. Arm 2 will receive local steroid injections to active joints and will be able to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) only
