About this study

Official title: Effect Narrow-Band UVB Radiation Therapy on Suppression of IL 17 Axis in Psoriatic Patients

Narrow-band UVR affects Interleukin 17 which has a major role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis Vulgaris. the aim of this study to evaluate the serum levels of Interleukin 17 in psoriatic patients and compare with the levels in healthy controls \& evaluate the effect of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) on the serum of Interleukin 17 and the treatment of psoriasis Vulgaris.

Read the detailed description

Nowadays Interleukin 17 has a major role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis Vulgaris.

the aim of this study to evaluate the serum levels of Interleukin 17 in psoriatic patients and compare them with the levels in healthy controls \& evaluate the effect of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) on the serum of Interleukin 17 and the treatment of psoriasis Vulgaris. This prospective randomized clinical trial was carried out in Dermatology Department, South Valley University Hospitals included from September 2020 to August 2021, enrolled 40 psoriatic patients and 40 controls. The study was submitted for approval from the Scientific and Ethical Committees and coded as ( SVU.MED.DVA021, Code 1, N 76). Forty patients were treated with NB-UVB by starting the dose from 0.5 mJ/cm2 for all cases (Skin phototypes III or IV). The dosage is subsequently increased by 20 % per session. Sessions were given three times weekly on non-consecutive days for 12 weeks (three months). Serum Interleukin 17 levels were measured pre-and post-12 weeks narrow-band ultraviolet B by performing an enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Main outcome and Measures: Improvement of psoriasis Severity Index score after 12 weeks narrow- Band UVR treatment and serum-decreased IL17 by performing an enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA).

What participants receive

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

  • Serum Interleukin 17 levelsDiagnostic test

    Also called NB-UVB

    Serum Interleukin 17 levels will be measured pre and post treatment by NB-UVB by performing an enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA)

  • NB-UVBRadiation

    patients will be exposed to narrow band UVB twice weekly for three months

Study groups in NCT05647187
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NB-UVB groupActive comparatorfourty patients will be treated with NB-UVB. The initial radiation dose was determined according to the patient's skin type; initial dose will be increased by 20% per session. Sessions will be given three times weekly with 48 hours apart for three months.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Serum Interleukin 17 levels; Radiation: NB-UVB
Control groupNo interventionfourty healthy controls without psoriasis , any family history of psoriasis or any dermatological diseases.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary (main):

    To evaluate the clinical efficacy of narrow-band ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) in treatment of psoriasis vulgaris , evaluate serum levels of Interleukin 17 in psoriatic patients and compare them with levels in healthy controls

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Secondary (subsidiary)

    Response to treatment will be evaluated by photographing the patients and calculating psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score at the baseline before starting the treatment and monthly after starting the treatment.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Serum Interleukin 17 levels and NB-UVB in people with Psoriasis Vulgaris and UVB Phototherapy Burn, run by South Valley University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2022. 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 Egypt. 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?

Primary (main): (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 12 Dec 2022.
