About this study

The human microbiota corresponds to an extremely rich and varied set of microorganisms that colonize our various epitheliums from birth, including the intestine, lungs and skin, where they interact continuously with our immune system. Changes in microbial composition and function, termed dysbiosis, have been linked to alterations in immune responses and to disease development, such as psoriasis. Recent research has shown that the gut microbiota can condition the therapeutic response to checkpoint inhibitors and that fecal microbiota transplant overcomes resistance to these therapy, suggesting a direct role for the microbiota in the ability to shape a therapeutic immune response. Antibiotic exposure during the course of cancer therapy negatively correlates with patients' response to anti-PD-1 treatment response, thus highlighting the link between the enrichment of specific microbial taxa in intestines and the response to immunotherapy. This observation suggests that treatments capable of modulating microbial networks and promoting specific bacterial clades may modulate the host's immune response. Hence, beyond their expected effect in the targeted tissue, part of the therapeutic effect of drugs could rely on this mechanism. In psoriasis patients, observational studies suggest that gut microbiome is altered differently after the use of anti-IL17 or anti-IL23 biologic agents.

Main objective: To determine the evolution of microbial composition of fecal samples issued to patients who responded to a biologic agent (IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors) and have stopped their treatment for 2 to 4 weeks before the index date, at baseline and 6 months or clinical relapse after treatment discontinuation

Population of study participants: Patients with psoriasis in remission after IL23i or IL17inhibitor treatments and who have stopped their medication for 2 to 4 weeks.

Number of participants included: 50 adult patients considered in remission and have stopped for at least 2 weeks and a maximum of 4 weeks, one of the following biologic agent: secukinumab, ixekizumab, brodalumab, bimekizumab, guselkumab, tildrakizumab, or risankizumab

What participants receive

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

  • Fecal samplingOther

    Also called Stool samples

    Stool samples are a collection of products derived from the human body that is not invasive in any way and samples not taken as part of usual care.

    Stool samples will be collected at home within 7 days of the visit M0, M3 and M6 and within 14 days of the visit M12 in an ethanol tube and in DNA/RNA shield, and transported at room temperature to Saint-Antoine Hospital (CRB SAT, AP-HP, Pr. SIMON ), samples will be aliquoted (3 aliquots per tubes) and stored at -80°C for a period of 5 years (renewable) At the end of the research, stool samples will be analysed using metagenomics sequencing.

    DNA extraction will be performed following the standards of the The International Human Microbiome Standards . DNA will be stored at -80°C.

  • Blood samplingOther

    Also called Blood samples (serum)

    Blood samples (serum, 15 ml) are an additional and minimal collection performed following a sample taken as part of usual care.

    Blood samples (serum) will be collected during the visit at M0, M3 (± 7 days), M6 (± 7 days) and M12 (± 7 days).

    In the hours following collection, the samples must be aliquoted and stored at -80°C in a secure place in the participating centre.

What is being measured

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

  1. Microbial features

    Microbial features (gene richness, species, functional modules) impacted by the discontinuation of the biologic agent after 6 months or the first occurrence of psoriasis clinical relapse.

    Measured: after 6 months of the baseline visit or the first occurrence of psoriasis clinical relapse after baseline visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Psoriasis and Microbial Colonization, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Mélanie Rousseaux (01 40 27 57 24 ext. 0033, melanie.rousseaux@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Microbial features (time frame: after 6 months of the baseline visit or the first occurrence of psoriasis clinical relapse after baseline visit). 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 28 Sep 2023.
