Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 55 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Subjects with severe psoriasis will be selected prospectively from the clinics of the University of Michigan, Dept. of Dermatology. The comparison group (subjects without psoriasis) will be targeted in the Dermatology clinic by screening for matching variables before enrollment. This group will be matched by age and gender to the psoriasis population, and on Framingham risk score.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with severe psoriasis as determined by more than two episodes of systemic or inpatient treatment and 10% or more body surface area involvement.
  • Male or female ages 18 to 55 (because CAD risk has been shown to be greatest in younger psoriasis patients in earlier studies, this pilot study will focus on young individuals).
  • Able to give informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Prior diagnosis of CAD (coronary artery disease) or heart disease based upon one or more of the following:
  • coronary arteriography
  • percutaneous coronary intervention
  • cardiac surgery including bypass graft surgery
  • valve surgery
  • congenital heart disease repair
Show all 22Show fewer
  • stress ECG or imaging
  • myocardial infarction
  • angina or unstable angina
  • congestive heart failure
  • cardiomyopathy
  • History of anti-oxidants such as fish oil or biologic therapy Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha inhibitors (such as etanercept, adalimumab, or infliximab). A recent review by Sattar et al [22] has shown preliminary evidence that TNF (tumor necrosis factor) blockade can modulate nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors such as C-reactive protein(CRP), Interleukin-6(IL-6), Apolipoprotein AI(ApoAI), Lipoprotein(a)(Lp[a]), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), and homocysteine to exert a possible vascular and metabolic protective effect.
  • Pustular and erythrogenic psoriasis
  • Unable to give informed consent
  • Contraindications to coronary CT, including:
  • Irregular heart rate, such as multiple PVCs (premature ventricular contractions), atrial fibrillation
  • Active heart failure
  • Serum creatinine > 1.5mg/dl
  • Weight > 320 lbs (due to degradation in CT (computerized tomography)image quality by image noise)
  • History of severe allergy to intravenous contrast media
  • High irregular heart rate with contraindications to beta-blockers
  • Pregnant

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CCTA Scan (Coronary CT Angiogram)Procedure or surgery

    CCTA scan will be performed to study and evaluate the prevalence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Psoriasis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To establish the relationship between psoriasis and coronary disease (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Oct 2016.
