Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

Everybody's skin has bacteria that normally lives on it. Previous research has shown that people with eczema (or atopic dermatitis [AD]) have much higher concentrations of a certain bacteria (S. aureus), especially when their disease is active but little is known about the role that this bacteria plays in psoriasis (i.e. disease severity, biomarkers and skin barrier function). The overarching purpose of this longitudinal study is to understand how the abundance of skin S. aureus (and several commensal bacteria) change as a consequence of standard of care treatment in the URMC dermatology clinics. Other assays and biospecimens will also be collected to address a number of questions.

Plaque Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which skin cells build up and develop scaly red and white patches on the skin. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis (swelling and stiffness in the joints) that is frequently seen in trial participants who also have the skin condition psoriasis. It is caused by an overactive immune system where the body attacks healthy tissue by mistake. This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis and to assess change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is an approved drug for the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Around 3000 adult participants with a moderate to severe plaque psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis who had been prescribed risankizumab by their doctor will be enrolled in this study in multiple sites across Korea. The sample size for this study is a requirement by local authorities. Participants will receive risankizumab prefilled syringe for injection for 52 weeks as prescribed by their physician. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this study. All study visits will occur during routine clinical practice and participants will be followed for 52 weeks.

The observational, non-interventional study will assess the efficacy, safety, prescription and utilization patterns of Tildrakizumab in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in routine clinical practice.

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic, disease characterized by marked inflammation of the skin that results in thick, red, scaly plaques and is associated with high burden of illness that results in a negative impact on long-term health outcomes including quality of life (QoL). The main objective of this study is to characterize the durability of response of risankizumab compared to other biologics measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 response in adult participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are either new or have used a biological treatment in the past. Risankizumab is a drug approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Participants who are prescribed risankizumab or other comparator drugs in the real world setting are enrolled in this study. Data from a total of approximately 240 participants; 160 using risankizumab and 80 using other biologics will be evaluated across Taiwan. Participants will receive subcutaneous risankizumab injection or or other biologic as prescribed by their physician. Data from these participants will be collected for approximately 2 years. 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 questionnaire.

HIPPOCRATES is an Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) funded EU Consortium established to address key unmet clinical needs in psoriatic disease. As part of the project, the HIPPOCRATES Prospective Observational Study (HPOS) is a study of patients with psoriasis which will run across Europe. The study will be led by a research team at University of Oxford and supported by a team at University College Dublin. We are aiming to identify people with psoriasis who are at risk of developing psoriatic arthritis. Up to one-third of patients with psoriasis will develop a related arthritis causing inflammation in the joints and tendons. We want to identify which patients will develop arthritis with the long-term and ambitious aim of trying to prevent the development of arthritis before it occurs. We are recruiting/approaching adults with psoriasis and asking study participants to complete questionnaires every 6 months via a dedicated study website. The questionnaires will include a 'screening questionnaire' to try to identify arthritis. If participants are identified by the 'screening questionnaire' as having possible arthritis, they will be advised to seek local medical help. We will follow up with them to see if they are diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis. Alongside the questionnaire information from participants, we will ask some participants to provide a blood fingerprick sample using an easy to use at home sampling kit. The blood sample will be posted to a central location (University College Dublin) where it will be stored and then studied in the laboratory to look for markers that may predict the onset of arthritis. As many (most) participants will not develop arthritis, we are also studying the impact of psoriasis on the participants to learn more about how psoriasis affects people's daily lives across Europe.

We are conducting a proof-of-concept trial to study the impact of HRV-biofeedback, a mind-body technique designed to improve stress resilience, on the quality of life, mood, and clinical skin severity of patients with psoriasis.

Dendritic cells (DC) paly a key role in the induction and chronicity of psoriasis by capturing the antigenes and activating the T cell repsonse. This activation requires their migration from the cutaneous sensitisation site to the lymph nodes. This migration requires an important intracellular metabolic activity, with a strong involvmenet of glucdic metabolism. This activity is linked with the systemic activity. This study aims to compare the migration and the phenotypic and metabolic caracteristics of blood and skin DCs in patients with or without psoriasis and with or without type 2 diabetes,

The aim of this study is to determine the standard tissue levels of SP and its receptor in lesional skin of psoriasis patients in both developing and stationary stages before and after excimer light therapy.

The purpose of this study is to measure the safety and effectiveness of deucravatinib in participants with non-pustular palmoplantar psoriasis and genital psoriasis.

The primary purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) for 16 weeks versus placebo in the treatment of study participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PSO).
