Active clinical trials for "Psoriasis"

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug called doxercalciferol in participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, in comparison with a placebo ("sugar pill"). All study related care was provided including doctor visits, physical exams, laboratory tests and study medication. Total length of participation was 28 weeks.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab (CNTO 1275) in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

A study to assess the safety and effectiveness of tacrolimus cream in the treatment of psoriasis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of initial single and multiple subcutaneous injections of CNTO 1275 in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic recurrent skin condition characterized by the presence of pustules, erythema and hyperkeratosis on palms and soles. PPP can be a severe and disabling disease limiting the ability to walk or work. Although studies on the quality of life of patients with PPP are not available, a recent investigation showed that palmoplantar psoriasis (non pustular) has a more important impact on quality of life than plaque psoriasis. This important impact on quality of life is not surprising as palmoplantar psoriasis as well as palmoplantar pustulosis may limit the ability to work or conduct activities with hands or even impair walking. The disease is sometimes associated with psoriasis elsewhere on the body. Current treatments for PPP include topical corticosteroids, cyclosporine, PUVA therapy, methotrexate and acitretin. Response to topical corticosteroids and PUVA therapy is often disappointing presumably because the thickness of the stratum corneum on palms and soles prevents good penetration of topical medications and light. Cyclosporine and methotrexate are sometimes used with success for PPP but there are concerns with long term toxicity of both drugs. Therefore there is a need for new treatments for PPP.

This is a Phase IV open-label study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SC efalizumab in adult subjects (18 years of age and older) with chronic moderate or worse plaque psoriasis who have had an inadequate response to treatment with an anti-TNF agent. The study will consist of a screening period, a treatment period, and an observation period. All subjects will begin in the screening period (the length of which is dependent on the previous anti-TNF agent treatment). Approximately 100 eligible subjects will receive treatment from Day 0 through Day 168.

This is a Phase IIIb, open label, uncontrolled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 12 weeks of subcutaneously administered efalizumab in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy and may also be receiving topical therapies, PUVA, or UVB phototherapy during the efalizumab treatment period.

This study compares the efficacy and analyzes the cellular effects of anti-TAC (Daclizumab) and Cyclosporine in the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris. This is a three-armed study-Daclizumab alone, Cyclosporine alone, and the combination of both Daclizumab and Cyclosporine.

This is an open-label, multicenter study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of efalizumab administered at weekly SC (subcutaneous) doses of 1.0 mg/kg followed by efalizumab taper in subjects with plaque psoriasis who previously participated in Study ACD2390g.

This is a Phase IIIb, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of efalizumab administered subcutaneously at weekly doses of 1.0 mg/kg in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy.
