Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

The researchers investigate the effect of a treatment with selective photothermolysis using a 595 nm pulsed dye laser on the blood vessel density and the nerve fibre density of a psoriatic lesion. By comparing tissue samples collected before and after two treatments, the researchers determine the relative effect of laser therapy on the (hyper)innervation of psoriatic skin.

The human body responds to inflammation, such as psoriatic skin lesions, by activating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. In patients with plaque psoriasis, this pathway is not sufficient to clear the skin lesions. Importantly, the vagus nerve, that is part of the anti-inflammatory pathway, also innervates the ear where it can be activated through non-invasive transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS). This raises the research question if taVNS - added to standard of care - improves the symptoms of plaque psoriasis by augmenting the function of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Thus, the aim of this project is to test the hypothesis that daily taVNS applied for 3 months results in anti-inflammatory actions and improvements in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI). Potential anti-inflammatory actions of taVNS compared to a sham-taVNS control group will be assessed by plasma cytokine levels, flow cytometry, and cell culture experiments. This project is potentially significant, because it may demonstrate that taVNS lessens the symptoms of plaque psoriasis and, therefore, improves the quality of life of millions of patients.

A randomized, assessor blind, parallel group, three arms, active and placebo controlled study with objective to demonstrate therapeutic non-inferiority of AKP02 cutaneous spray (calcipotriol 50 μg/g + betamethasone 0.5 mg/g/ AKVANO) versus Enstilar cutaneous foam (calcipotriol 50 μg/g + betamethasone 0.5 mg/g) in subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.

Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy and pharmacodynamics properties of CT303 in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of BMS-986322 in participants with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Our study aims to determine whether intermittent fasting (IMF) is a valid method to improve psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) disease severity and quality of life. There is a call for dermatologists to participate in the education and support for patients with psoriasis regarding their weight management, and the impact that other lifestyle modifications can have on their skin disease. Dietary interventions are low cost and safe ways to potentially decrease disease severity, reduce medical comorbidities, and improve effects of standard psoriasis therapies. Based on our findings, the investigators hope to provide a framework for further investigation into the role of IMF and other diets in psoriasis and to contribute to the establishment of well-defined dietary recommendations. Additionally, the investigators hope to further identify which patients would benefit most from these interventions. Patients within OSU Dermatology with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis will be enrolled in a dietary intervention for a 24-week period. A prospective, single-blind parallel group randomized control trial will include an IMF dietary intervention group and a standard routine diet group for a duration of 24 weeks. After the initial 12 weeks of the dietary intervention, patients will be followed for an additional 12 weeks to assess changes in their disease state and quality of life after returning to their initial dietary routines. In total, the study will be 24 weeks. Baseline assessment will consist of standard psoriasis and PsA clinical parameters; evaluation will be performed by a blinded physician. These parameters will be reassessed every 4 weeks via video visit for the three month duration of the study, and then again at the 24-week conclusion of the study. In addition, each visit will assess patient-reported outcomes using dermatology-specific quality of life indices. Biometric measurements of weight, height, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio will be recorded at baseline and all subsequent visits. Dietary adherence will be assessed by virtual check-in visits, and dietary guidance will be provided and reviewed at each visit by the research coordinator. A physician or the research coordinator will be available for questions between times of data collection. The primary outcome measure will be feasibility of a larger study, which will be determined at the initial 12-week timepoint. This data is vital to determine effect size and dropout frequency for future studies. Secondary outcomes will include changes in clinical indices, biometric measurements, and quality of life indices at 12 weeks after randomization and at the end of the 24-week study. Achievement of a 5% weight reduction at 12 weeks, and a 10-15% weight reduction at 24 weeks will be additional secondary endpoints. Data for each patient will be stored in a password-protected and encrypted REDCAP database on a secure OSU server. Each patient will receive a random numerical identity in the database which their data points will be associated with. Data access is role-based and limited to PI, research coordinator, statistician, and support staff.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of JS005 in 702 adult patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis

This is a multicenter, open-label study aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBI112 in Chinese participants with plaque psoriasis who were treated with biologics and switched to IBI112. The study will enroll 160 participants who were diagnosed with plaque psoriasis. The whole study consists of 4 weeks of screening, 32 or 36 weeks of treatment and a safety follow-up visit at Week 44.
