Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of brodalumab at two different doses compared with placebo in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. A second purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy brodalumab at two different doses compared with ustekinumab in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. A third purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 4 maintenance regimens of brodalumab.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of etanercept in patients with plaque psoriasis who have lost a satisfactory response to adalimumab.

The purpose of this study is to determine the best dosing strategy when using Excimer Laser to treat plaque-type psoriasis. In this study, half of the body's psoriasis will be treated with a new dosing strategy, and the other half will be treated with the conventional method. We hope to show that the new dosing strategy will result in faster improvement of psoriasis.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Induction and Maintenance Regimens of Brodalumab compared with Placebo and Ustekinumab in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

The purpose of the Apremilast Pregnancy Exposure Registry is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to apremilast and to evaluate the safety of this medication relative to specified pregnancy outcomes, and to evaluate potential effects of prenatal apremilast exposure on infant health status through one year of age.

The Sponsor is developing the study drug, AZD0284, for the potential treatment of Plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, flaky, crusty patches of skin covered with silvery scales. The severity of the disease varies, but in many cases it can have a major impact on their quality of life if not adequately treated. The purpose of the study is to determine the short term safety, pharmacodynamic and clinical effect of AZD0284 in patients with psoriasis.

Study of the long term safety of serlopitant for the treatment of pruritus in adults.

The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Raptiva® compared to placebo in controlling moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis involving palms and/or soles scoring Palmo-plantar Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) ≥5 in subjects that are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapies. The rational of the trial is that psoriasis involving palms and/or soles is a painful condition associated with fissuring, scaling and in some instances with pustulation. Because of its localization, it is a disabling condition that limits dexterity and affects social interaction, leading to compromised quality of life; and this confers additional severity to that of plaque psoriasis on the body. The therapeutic approach for palm and sole plaque-type psoriasis usually begins with topical corticosteroid treatment. If the disease reaches a certain extent, the next step involves the addition of systemic treatments. Substances like methotrexate, retinoids and cyclosporine have shown to be efficacious, but their long-term usage is often limited by toxicity. Biologic treatments for psoriasis avoid this toxicity and offer a new therapeutic approach. The therapeutic potential of Raptiva® to treat palm and sole psoriasis refractory to systemic treatments has been described in numerous case reports and in one placebo-controlled phase IV study. However, in all cases, the number of subjects included was low, and in most cases the trials were not prospectively designed. Since the efficacy of Raptiva® on psoriasis of palms and soles must be determined using the validated PPPASI measure, it is necessary for scientific and ethical reasons to include a placebo arm during the first 12 weeks. Finally, as the clinical response may sometimes take longer than 12 weeks, subjects must be treated and evaluated during an additional 12-week open-label extended treatment period.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether teplizumab is safe when administered subcutaneously (by needle under the skin) in subjects with psoriasis. The study will also evaluate how long teplizumab stays in the blood and how long it takes for it to leave the body, what is the highest dose that can safely be given, and whether it improves psoriasis.

Study Status: Duke University Health System Institutional Review Board has received notification of study termination; final IRB closure date is 12/12/2008. Study enrollment is now closed. Enrollment Update: Only one subject was entered into this study out of an expected enrollment of 15 patients in this single site clinical trial. With no recruitment interest, the financial sponsor and Sponsor-PI chose to close the clinical trial.
