Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

Identification of possible markers associated with the onset and / or progression of psoriatic arthritis through comparison in patients with psoriasis alone (Ps) and patients with psoriasis with joint involvement (PsA), plasma levels of a panel of cytokines referable to the Th17 pathway , together with serum levels of MMPs, TIMPs and markers of bone remodeling. The primary objective of this study is to verify whether the arthropathy component has an effect on the metabolic activity of osteoblasts. This will be determined through the study of the differences in serum concentrations, between Ps and PsA subjects, of "CTx", the parameter best characterized in terms of analytical variability and intra- and inter-individual variability, in the field of bone metabolism. The secondary objective is the verification of the differences in serum concentrations of the series of parameters specified above, in order to define a complete pattern of variations that can identify the molecular pathways involved in the definition of psoriatic arthropathy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and clinical effects of AMG 811 following single subcutaneous dose administration in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the anti-psoriatic effect of Daivobet® gel applied then removed after 10 minutes (+/- 2 minutes), Daivobet® gel applied then removed after 20 minutes (+/- 2 minutes) compared with Daivobet® gel and Daivobet® gel vehicle applied for 24 hours (+/- 2 hours), using the psoriasis plaque test modified from the method developed by KJ Dumas and JR Scholtz.

This is an open-label, randomized, controlled, single center study to assess the safety, variability in exposure, and relative bioavailability of new oral formulations of SRT2104. This is a two part study and each part consists of screening (within 21 days of the first scheduled dose of SRT2104), treatment period and follow-up visit (approximately 6 days after the last dose). Part 1: Subjects will receive all four fomulations of SRT2104 and their order of their doses will be randomized. Each subject will receive one formulation as a 500 milligram (mg) dose (in the form of two 250 mg capsules or tablets) in each session given in the fasted state. Each dose will be separated by at least 6 days. Pharmacokinetic (PK) sampling will be done pre and post each scheduled dosing session. After all 4 dosing sessions, the safety and PK data will be reviewed to determine which, if any, formulation(s) will be carried forward into Part 2. The total duration will be approximately 7 weeks. Part 2: Is further divided into Part 2A, 2B and 2C of the study and are optional. After the completion of Part 1, the sponsor will decide whether to proceed with any or all of Part 2, and whether the selected formulation(s) is to be administered in the fed or fasted state for Parts 2B and 2C. For all the sub parts of Part 2 the pre and post-dose PK samples will be obtained. Part 2A: A single-dose of the selected formulation(s) from Part 1 will be administered after a standard meal to assess the effect of food on the bioavailability of SRT2104 at the 500 mg dose. The total duration will be approximately 4 weeks. Part 2B: A single alternative dose (other than 500 mg, but not to exceed 2000 mg) of the selected formulation(s) from Part 1 will be administered to assess the safety and PK profile of this dose level. The total duration will be approximately 4 weeks. Part 2C: The selected formulation(s) from Part 1 will be administered at the 500 mg dose once daily for 7 consecutive days, to assess the safety and tolerability and characterize the PK profile of repeat dosing. The total duration will be approximately 5 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antipsoriatic effect of 5 different combinations of calcipotriol plus betamethasone dipropionate in Daivobet® gel vehicle in compared to Daivobet® gel in order to explore/find other safe and effective combination of the two components.

Calcipotriene is a vitamin D3 analog that has been used as topical therapy in adult subjects with plaque-type psoriasis since 1993. Calcipotriene foam, 0.005%, was approved in 2010 for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults aged 18 years and older. The current study is a multicenter study in which adolescent subjects (ages 12 to 16 years, inclusive) or their primary caregivers will apply calcipotriene foam, 0.005%, as a thin layer to treatment areas of the body and scalp, excluding the face, under maximal use conditions, twice a day for 14 days and once on Day 15. The safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of calcipotriene will be evaluated

Psoriasis is a chronic relapsing prevalent inflammatory disease affecting 2-4% of the world's population. Severe psoriasis is a disabling disease affecting the physical and emotional well being of patients, and its effect on quality of life is similar to that seen with other major medical diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Lately, it is increasingly being recognized that psoriasis is not merely a skin disease but is probably associated with other co-morbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, the metabolic syndrome and cardio-vascular diseases (CVD). The metabolic syndrome is a combination of diabetes mellitus type II (or insulin resistance), hypertension, central obesity, and combined hyperlipidemia (elevated LDL; decreased HDL; elevated triglycerides). As the literature linking psoriasis and the metabolic syndrome expands, also reports of an increased rate of CVD mortality in psoriasis patients accumulates. These data emphasize that metabolic dysregulations are the leading risk factors for occlusive vascular events and early death in patients with severe psoriasis. Progress in understanding the pathogenesis of these apparently diverse diseases has discovered that low-grade systemic inflammation might be the common physiological pathway that may provide the biological plausibility of the associations discovered in the epidemiological studies. Since some of these co-morbidities often become clinically apparent years after the onset of psoriasis we assume that controlling systemic inflammation might prevent or reverse some of these co-morbidities. Presently there is no study in psoriasis that shows that a "systemic" co-morbidity can be prevented or treated by reversing skin inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to determine if an asynchronous online model of teledermatology can achieve similar clinical outcomes as compared to conventional in-office care for the management of psoriasis. The investigators also aim to determine the effects of this online care model on patient quality of life as well as patient and physician satisfaction. The investigators' hypotheses include the following: Compared to in-person visits, the online care model will result in similar clinical improvement in psoriasis disease severity. Compared to in-person visits, the online care model will result in similar improvements in quality of life. Providers and subjects in the online group will achieve a similar level of overall satisfaction as those in the in-person group.

This study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of M518101 in male and female plaque psoriasis patients with refractory plaques.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the anti-psoriatic effect of LEO 29102 cream and its combination with calcipotriol and betamethasone using a psoriasis plaque test method.
