Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

Psoriasis is a common immune mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by red heavily scaled plaques. Anthralin (1,8-dihydroxy-9-anthrone) which was introduced over 80 years ago has shown excellent efficacy in the management of psoriasis.Although anthralin is remarkably effective in the management of psoriasis, its side effects are equally disturbing. Its use is messy as it stains the skin, clothing, and any furniture that it may come in contact with. Further, anthralin has irritating, burning, brown discoloration and necrotizing effect on the normal and the diseased skin. This troublesome profile has discouraged wide-spread use of the drug. Ethosomes are attractive vesicular carriers mainly composed of phospholipids, ethanol and water. The intriguing features of ethosomes are due to their high ethanol content which facilitate their penetration through stratum corneum and target deep skin layers. This is advantageous over conventional liposomes which have limited penetration through the skin and remain confined in the upper layer of the stratum corneum. Compared to liposomes, ethosomes had greater retention of methotrexate into the skin for a longer period of time, suggesting better therapeutic outcome.

The study evaluates the effect of oral vitamin D supplementation on the severity of psoriasis measured by Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) in adults with lower vitamin D levels. Half of the participants will receive vitamin D, while the other half receive placebo.

The main objective of this study is to establish the efficacy and safety of Psorax35 supplementation in patients with mild to moderate Psoriasis.

This is a study to compare the efficacy of bimekizumab versus placebo and an active comparator in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (PSO).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Adipose derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (AD-MSCs) plus Calpocitriol Ointment with moderate to severe psoriasis. Any adverse events related to AD-MSCs infusion will be monitored.The primary outcome is the reduction rate of PASI(Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) and treatment response will be computed from PASI before and after treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab for the treatment of palmoplantar psoriasis.

This is a study to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of ABBV-157 in healthy volunteers and in participants with chronic plaque psoriasis, and to evaluate the efficacy of ABBV-157 in the participants with psoriasis. This study consists of two substudies. Substudy 1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation of multiple ascending oral doses of ABBV-157 in healthy adult volunteers. Substudy 2 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in which participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis will be administered multiple oral doses of ABBV-157.

This purpose of this study is to determine the lowest effective concentration of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of nail psoriasis.

Plaque psoriasis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease that is characterized by keratinocyte hyper-proliferation and epidermal hyperplasia. Standard treatment for psoriasis generally requires long-term use of topical therapies, psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA), ultraviolet B (UVB) and/or systemic immunosuppressant therapies to achieve and maintain adequate disease control. This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study conducted in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics profile of 960 milligram (mg) GSK2982772 administered as a once daily modified release (MR) formulation. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either 960 mg GSK2982772 or placebo for 12 weeks. The duration of the study, including Screening and follow-up, will be approximately 21 weeks for each participant.

This study investigates the impact of a mindful parenting intervention on parents of children with psoriasis or eczema. More specifically, this study will investigate the impact of the group on both the child and the parents mental health and quality of life.
