Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

This withdrawn study was to assess the safety and efficacy of secukinumab compared to etanercept and placebo in patients who have moderate to severe, chronic, plaque-type psoriasis.

GSK2894512 (trans-isomer) is a fully synthetic, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent. This study is being conducted to evaluate the PK, safety and tolerability of GSK2894512 cream, 1 percent administered topically to healthy adult subjects. PK parameters obtained in this study will be used to support the design of future maximum use PK (MUPK) studies in subjects with atopic dermatitis (AD) and plaque psoriasis or psoriasis (PSO). This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, 3-period, sequential, inpatient study consists of a Screening visit, 3 treatment periods and a follow-up visit. GSK2894512 cream, 1 percent (or matching vehicle) will be administered sequentially in the treatment periods. Period 1 will include once daily repeated topical applications on approximately 5000 centimeter (cm) ^2 intact non-occluded skin area for 21 days. Period 2 will include once daily repeated topical applications on approximately 5000 cm^2 intact occluded skin area for 21 days. Period 3 will include a single topical application on up to 400 cm^2 gently taped-stripped skin area. Each treatment regimen will be followed by washout period for approximately 21 days, except for Treatment Period 3. Approximately 26 healthy adult subjects will be enrolled in to the study. Total duration of participation in this study will be approximately 18 weeks.

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.

Given the role of IL-17 in the development of entheseal-driven pathology, a therapeutic strategy aimed at blocking IL-17 would be a logical option for the treatment of subclinical enthesitis in psoriasis patients. This study will be the first randomized trial of a biologic therapy versus placebo in participants with plaque psoriasis and subclinical psoriatic arthritis, using musculoskeletal ultrasound.

The purpose of this study is: To evaluate the efficacy of the drugs under study for treating chronic plaque psoriasis. - Population: 50 patients will be selected from both sexes, healthy, between 18 and 65 years with a clinical diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis with PASI <20%, according to the criteria of inclusion and exclusion.

This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, , Placebo Controlled, 18 Week Study To Evaluate the Efficacy of adjuvant 9-cis-β-Carotene Rich powder of the Alga Dunaliella bardawil in Subjects With Plaque type Psoriasis treated by Narrow Band UVB therapy.

There is a relationship between psoriasis and periodontal disease. This relationship may be double-sided.

Iontophoresis potentially may be a good alternative to improved delivery of corticosteroids. Study Investigators propose to use iontophoresis to increase dexamethasone delivery into thick psoriasis plaques. The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether dexamethasone sodium phosphate iontophoresis is an effective local therapy for psoriasis. The objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of dexamethasone sodium phosphate iontophoresis for psoriasis.

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 purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Aerosal® compared to placebo in the prognosis of inverse psoriasis or sebopsoriasis present for at least one year
