Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to assess the feasibility of using spesolimab in participants with moderate to severe pyoderma gangrenosum. Pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare, inflammatory, autoimmune condition which results in ulceration of skin. The study will also investigate the body's immune response to the spesolimab (when the body detects and defends itself against substances that appear unknown and harmful).
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, adaptive phase III trial to investigate efficacy and safety of vilobelimab in the treatment of ulcerative pyoderma gangrenosum
Pyoderma gangrenosum is a chronic debilitating ulcerative neutrophilic condition usually affecting the skin. The pathogenesis of pyoderma gangrenosum is poorly understood. Pyoderma gangrenosum has been estimated to have an incidence rate of 3-10 per million populations per year. Mortality estimates range up to 30%. The non-healing wounds present a significant social and economic burden on affected patients. We hypothesize that EpiFix (dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane) will be beneficial in treating patients with pyoderma gangrenosum. Potentially eligible patients will be pre-screened in clinic. The pre-screening process will include a medical history, including review of co-morbid medical problems and home medications, and a physical exam of the wounds. The first stage of the study will involve a surgery in which the pyoderma gangrenosum wounds are going to be treated with the EpiFix. About a week later, the patient will then undergo another surgery where skin grafts will be placed on the wounds that were treated in the first surgery. In each surgery, samples of the wound will be taken, and genetic information from these samples will be studied to identify the genes that are active before and after treating the wound with EpiFix. Routine post-surgery clinic visits will then be used to monitor the healing of the wounds and make sure that no extra medical treatment is needed. Study staff will evaluate wounds twice a week for the first two weeks, then once a week until 6 weeks. Following this, you will then be followed every 4 weeks up to 22 weeks. These visits to the clinic will include taking wound measurements, taking digital photos, asking about level of pain and evaluating development of infection. Patient consent will be obtained to take any photos.
An Open-Label, Proof-Of-Concept, Study of Baricitinib for the Treatment of Pyoderma Gangrenosum
Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a rapidly progressive disease and presents as painful, single or multiple lesions, with several clinical variants, in different locations, with a nonspecific histology, which makes the diagnosis challenging and often delayed. The main objective of this study is to estimate the incidence proportion of all the infection reported as adverse drug reaction (ADR) of Humira with PG participants. Humira is the only drug approved for the treatment of Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) in Japan. Approximately 60 adult participants with PG at approximately 60 sites in Japan. Participants will receive injectable Humira (Adalimumab) as prescribed by the physician prior to enrolling in this study. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and by verbal interview.
More than 100 hospital based outpatient wound centers in the USA and Puerto Rico agree to transmit structured data on all patients followed with chronic wounds and ulcers (e.g. diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, surgical wounds, and traumatic wounds). Data are collected at point of care including adherence to wound care quality measures developed by the USWR as a Qualified Clinical Data Registry (QCDR).
This study investigates the genetic architecture of Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Diseases. After collecting informed consent, all patients' clinical phenotype is graded at inclusion with a detailed case report form and a discovery cohort formed based on the certainty of diagnosis. The DNA of patients in the discovery cohort is analyzed by whole exome sequencing which identifies all protein-coding genetic variants. Subsequently, statistical burden tests are going to identify enrichment of rare coding genetic variants in patients affected by Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Diseases. The ultimate goal is to reveal the responsible gene(s) that may then be targets for clinical intervention.
