Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

This study is open to people with palmoplantar pustulosis who took part in previous clinical studies of a medicine called spesolimab. Participants who benefited from spesolimab treatment in the previous studies can join this study. The purpose of this study is to find out how safe spesolimab is and whether it helps people with palmoplantar pustulosis in the long-term. Participants are in this study for up to 5 years. During this time they visit the study site every month to get spesolimab injections under the skin. At study visits, doctors check the severity of participants' palmoplantar pustulosis and collect information on any health problems of the participants.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of brodalumab taken every two weeks at two different doses.

Psoriasis is a common skin disease that can affect 1-3% of the population. For more severe psoriasis, oral medication such as acitretin is sometimes given. While acitretin may be sufficient for treatment of some patients, psoriasis of the palms and soles is particularly challenging to treat, and may not respond to acitretin alone. In this study, the focus is on patients who have psoriasis of the palms and soles, and are currently taking acitretin. The aim is to initially recruit 10 patients and offer them treatment with a laser, the excimer laser, to one palm and one sole. Patients will receive laser treatment twice weekly for a total of 8 weeks, while also taking their acitretin tablet. If the side treated with the excimer laser shows greater improvement compared to the other side, the second part of the study will be conducted. In this second part, another 15 patients will be included. These patients will receive twice weekly treatments with the excimer laser to one both palms and/or soles, for a total of 8 weeks. The aim is to prove that the addition of excimer laser to treatment with acitretin will lead to greater improvement of psoriasis on palms and soles.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a special sock, manufactured using TEPSO®, compared to a normal cotton sock in the prognosis of symmetrical palmoplantar pustulosis present for at least one year.

The primary objective of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of topical ALT-2074 applied twice daily for 28 days for treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis in adult subjects. The secondary objective will be to evaluate the safety of topical ALT-2074 applied twice daily for 28 days for treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis in adult subjects. Tertiary objectives will be to provide visual documentation of the improvement of psoriatic plaques treated with ALT-2074 using digital photography, and to determine the extent of systemic absorption of topically applied ALT-2074 based on a pharmacokinetic measurement of blood concentration.

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of CP-690,550 in patients being treated for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. This is an open label extension study available to patients who participated in one of the qualifying studies with CP-690,550 providing entry criteria is met.

In this study, we will evaluate clinical activity, safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of 5 LY2525623 dosing groups compared to placebo in adults with plaque psoriasis.

The is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, and multicenter study consisting of a first treatment (FT) period followed by either an observation (OB) period and a re-treatment (RT) period or an open-label (OL) treatment period, depending on FT period response, and a 4-week safety follow-up (FU) period. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of onercept, to be administered as 150 milligram (mg) three times a week, compared to matching placebo, for the induction of remission in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

The primary goal of the study is to collect standardized patient and clinician reported outcome measures for patients diagnosed with a range of dermatological conditions in an academic clinical practice setting. By regularly measuring outcomes longitudinally in patients treated in a real-world setting, this study will provide valuable and necessary information as to the impact of both the disease and its treatments on patients over time and will inform the optimal clinical management of patients with living with dermatological disease.

GÖTHA- The early arthritis and psoriasis study of Region Västra Götaland, Sweden - is a longitudinal observational study, which will prospectively and in parallel follow patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA, N=1000), psoriatic arthritis (PsA, N=500) and undifferentiated arthritis (N=100), together with patients with psoriasis (N=500). The study will also recruit healthy controls from the general population (N=3000). The aims of the study are to define predictors for disease course and severity, treatment response, comorbidities, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and health economy. The study is a collaboration between the department of Rheumatology and the department of Dermatology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, and the departments of Rheumatology at the hospitals of Alingsås, Borås, Uddevalla and Skövde, in the west of Sweden. All patients with newly diagnosed RA, PsA and undifferentiated arthritis at the Rheumatology centers are eligible for inclusion. Patients with psoriasis will be recruited from the Department of dermatology at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. The patients will be examined at baseline and at one, three, five and ten years. The assessments will include physical examination with evaluation of joints, entheses and skin and validated questionnaires regarding medical history, comorbidities, lifestyle, disease activity, bodily function, socioeconomic factors and HRQoL. Blood samples will be collected. The patients with arthritis will also undergo radiography of the lung, hands and feet, and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) of hands and feet.
