Trial summary

Dendritic cells (DC) paly a key role in the induction and chronicity of psoriasis by capturing the antigenes and activating the T cell repsonse. This activation requires their migration from the cutaneous sensitisation site to the lymph nodes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Rôle du métabolisme du Glucose Dans la Migration Des Cellules Dendritiques cutanées Dans le Psoriasis : étude Pilote Translationnelle

Dendritic cells (DC) paly a key role in the induction and chronicity of psoriasis by capturing the antigenes and activating the T cell repsonse. This activation requires their migration from the cutaneous sensitisation site to the lymph nodes. This migration requires an important intracellular metabolic activity, with a strong involvmenet of glucdic metabolism. This activity is linked with the systemic activity. This study aims to compare the migration and the phenotypic and metabolic caracteristics of blood and skin DCs in patients with or without psoriasis and with or without type 2 diabetes,

What participants receive

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

  • Biopsy and venous bloodOther

    A skin biopsy will be performed under local anesthesia in diabetic and non-diabetic psoriatic patients (25 per group) in the injured area (joint extension) and in the non-injured area more than 2 cm from any lesion in the same area. In patients in the diabetic or non-diabetic control group (25 per group) only one biopsy will be performed.

    Peripheral venous blood will be collected in heparin tubes for metabolic parameter analysis and blood CD analysis

Study groups in NCT05399433
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Production of IL-23 of blood and skin dendriti cells (CD)OtherSimultaneously evaluate the migratory capacity and production of IL-23 of blood and skin cDC on peripheral venous blood and skin biopsies of psoriatic patients with and without type 2 diabetes and control patients (with or without type II diabetes) depending on their metabolic status.
Receives: Other: Biopsy and venous blood

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of dentridic cells producers of IL-23

    Alterations in the percentage of dentridic cells that have migrated with the metabolic status of patients

    Measured: at baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percentage of subpopulations dentridic cells producers

    Study of the percentage of the various cDC subpopulations according to the metabolic status of the patients.

    Measured: At baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biopsy and venous blood in people with Psoriasis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 Oct 2026. 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 France. 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 PASSERON Thierry, PhD (+33492036488, passeron.t@chu-nice.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of dentridic cells producers of IL-23 (time frame: at baseline). 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 Oct 2026.
