About this study

The main purpose of the PICASSO-project is to facilitate future psoriasis-research in dermatology. This register biobank will enable us to perform research in the field of metabolomics, mRNA-expression, cardiovascular impact and the microbiome. The final aims are patient stratification, better insight in disease-evolution and improved understanding of markers that predispose to severe disease.

Read the detailed description

The PICASSO-project is a prospective register with extensive biobanking in which patients with a recent onset of psoriasis (<3 years) can be enrolled. Participants are followed for a period of 10 years, with scheduled visits every 2.5 years. The same protocol is followed for every visit. The registry captures patient demographics, medical history (personal and family), details of psoriasis treatment (previous and current), physical examination, disease activity scores and PROMs. Some patients (substudy) will undergo ultra-sound to determine carotid intima media thickness. Biobanking in this project encompasses extensive biosampling of multiple tissues. It is not within the scope of this project to administer study medication: patients receive standard of care treatment as prescribed by their physician.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. We hypothesize that metabolic state in early disease (<3 years of disease onset) is linked to and predictive of more severe course of psoriasis after five years.

    To describe the presence/absence of metabolic syndrome (defined by clinical parameters and cut-off levels of associated adipokines (see section 'Background': ref 8-11)) in early disease, and link it to disease severity (eg. mild psoriasis (PASI 0.1-4); moderate psoriasis (PASI 4.1-9.9); severe psoriasis (PASI 10 and above OR receiving systemic treatment/biologics); BSA: mild to moderate (0.1-5%); moderate to severe (5 and above)). It is within the primary endpoint of this project to re-evaluate both MetS- and psoriasis-parameters after 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 years

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Psoriasis, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2024. 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 Belgium. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Tom Hillary, MD (+3216337950, tom.hillary@uzleuven.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

We hypothesize that metabolic state in early disease (<3 years of disease onset) is linked to and predictive of more severe course of psoriasis after five years. (time frame: 10 years). 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 1 Jul 2024.
