Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

Open label study for patients with severe plaque type psoriasis. This study is looking to evaluate the pharmacodynamic effect of CC10004 when taken for 29 days in reducing the epidermal thickness in subjects with severe placque type psoriasis.

Etanercept, a biological antipsoriatic drug with anti-tumor-necrosis factor (TNF) activity has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. However, in a substantial portion of cases etanercept does not induce reduction in psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) of 75% or greater, now being considered as gold standard for treatment efficacy. In this study the researchers aim to determine in a randomized half-side comparison, whether additional narrowband UVB-311nm phototherapy accelerates and improves the therapeutic efficacy of etanercept.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of adalimumab in combination with topical psoriasis treatment, calcipotriol/betamethasone, vs. adalimumab in combination with matching vehicle in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

To compare disease activity, as measured by PASI score, of three MEDI-507 dosing (injection)regimens vs. placebo.

The association between psoriasis and obesity has been questioned by physicians for many years. Studies have shown that the risk of having psoriasis is increased in people with a high body mass index, which is a measurement of obesity. There have been case reports of remission of psoriasis after gastric bypass surgery. Furthermore, other studies have shown that certain inflammatory diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis) can be improved by dietary changes. The purpose of this study is to assess whether a low carbohydrate or low fat diet can be helpful in the treatment of psoriasis.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of U0267 in subjects with plaque-type psoriasis.

The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of AN2728 Ointment, 5%, compared to Ointment Vehicle in the treatment of plaque type psoriasis.

To describe the response of etanercept after adalimumab has failed to produce a satisfactory response in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. A total of 10 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis who are currently using adalimumab for at least 12 weeks but have a PGA of mild or worse will be transitioned to etanercept 50 mg twice weekly (BIW) for 12 wks followed by a dose reduction to 50mg once weekly (OW) for an additional 12 weeks.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of clobetasol propionate 0.05% (Clobex®) spray compared to clobetasol propionate 0.05% (Olux®) foam.

This is an open-label, multicenter study to assess the systemic exposure to calcitriol in the adolescent population. Calcitriol 3µg/g ointment (2 mg/cm² per application) is to be applied twice daily to involved skin (10 - 35% BSA involved, excluding face, scalp and intertriginous areas) for 56 days (8 weeks). Full Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Pharmacodynamic (PD) profile will be collected during the first 3 weeks of the study; safety and efficacy data will be collected for the 8 weeks of the treatment.
