Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

Psoriasis is a chronic cutaneous inflammatory disease due to immune dysregulation. It caused skin lesions with thickening plaques and heavy silver scales over the patient's body surface area, including nail deformity, often accompanied by severe itching and pain. Psoriasis is not a contagious or infectious skin disorder, but patients' quality of life is often severely affected by skin symptoms. The annual prevalence of psoriasis in Taiwan is about 0.235%, and about one in 500 people may get psoriasis. Psoriasis has not just skin problems, but it often combines with other comorbidities such as psoriatic arthritis, metabolic syndrome such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and obesity, cardiovascular diseases such as stroke or ischemic heart disease, liver and kidney diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, iritis, and mental illness related to emotional stress and depression. Therefore, patients with psoriasis should regularly receive appropriate therapies to prevent complications and comorbidities. The current standard treatments for psoriasis include traditional topical and systemic treatments, phototherapy, and biologics. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is also an alternative treatment for psoriasis due to considerable benefits and lower toxicity. Chinese medicine still plays a vital role in the treatment of psoriasis in Taiwanese societies. This experiment will further explore the anti-inflammatory effect of Jing-Si-Herbal-Tea combined with traditional western medicine for three months to reduce inflammatory mediators in the skin and blood and improve the disease severity and quality of life for psoriatic patients. key words：Psoriasis, Psoriatic arthritis, Comorbidities, Treatment, Jing-Si-Herbal-Tea, Chinese medicine

Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease with huge negative impact on the quality of life of the patients, and has an overall prevalence of 2% to 3% in the general population. Plaques psoriasis is the most common type of the disease and presents red, well demarcated, and silvery plaques mainly localized in the umbilical and lumbosacral area as well as in the elbows, knees, and scalp. Currently, pharmacological treatments such as retinoids, corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs and biologics remain the main options for most psoriasis patients. However, side effect and high cost barred many ordinary psoriasis patients. A Chinese medicine formula "Inflammatory skin disease formula (ISDF)" was prescribed by Prof. Lin for many years and observed to be effective in relieving atopic dermatitis and psoriasis patients' clinical manifestations. In this study, subjects with psoriasis will be randomized into treatment group of "ISDF" or placebo group for 12 weeks.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab compared to an inactive drug in participants with low body surface area moderate plaque psoriasis and special site involvement.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of IBI112 in the treatment of participants with moderate to severe psoriasis

An Open-label, Single-dose Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Brodalumab in Pediatric Subjects

The purpose of the study is to see how effective JNJ-77242113 is in participants with plaque psoriasis affecting special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of the hands and the soles of the feet).

This study investigates if an adjusted brodalumab dosage regimen will give improved efficacy in psoriasis in patients with a body weight of over 120 kg. The increased dosage regimen will be compared to the standard brodalumab treatment plus placebo.

Although the newly developed biologics (drugs derived from living cells cultured in a laboratory) are highly effective in controlling psoriasis, all the biologics should be continuously injected to suppress recurrence of the disease. In this regard, the observation in the phase II clinical trial conducted by us (Laboratory for Investigative Dermatology at the Rockefeller University) was groundbreaking that just a single dose of anti-IL-23p19 antibody (risankizumab, trade name: Skyrizi, study drug in this clinical trial) administration produced disease clearance up to 66 weeks in 46% (6 of 13) of patients. However, there is a lack of understanding about immune regulation in human skin induced by anti-IL-23p19 antibody injection, and there is a need to conduct a psoriasis clinical trial for single-cell sequencing immune cells in human psoriasis skin before and after anti-IL-23p19 antibody administration, and to correlate regulatory immune cell alterations with clinical disease progression. The overall objective of the clinical trial is to study regulatory immune cell alterations induced by anti-IL-23p19 antibody administration in psoriasis patients who achieve long-term disease clearance off drugs.

This is study designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of Jaktinib in the treatment of participants with moderate to severe, chronic plaque psoriasis as assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score and routine safety assessments.

Hemay005 is a novel phosphodiesterase type 4(PDE4) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of psoriasis. After single asending dose and mutiple asending dose in health subjects. phase 2 results suggest Hemay005 60 mg BID has a higher curative effect trend，and adverse reactions were mild, so we choose 60 mg BID as Hemay005 phase 3 dosage And the patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will be randomized into 2 cohorts(60mg BID and placebo) approximately 306 subjects will be enrolled (204 in 60mg BID and 102 in placebo). This study includes an 16-week treatment Period, then a 36-week Treatment Period without placebo.
