About this study

Official title: Analysis of the Immune Infiltrate in Lesional Skin During Anti-interleukin 23 (IL-23) Therapy in Patients With Moderate-severe Plaque Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease characterized by the presence of erythematous and itchy plaques.

Psoriasis has a multifactorial pathogenesis, environmental and genetic factors contribute to its development.

Read more

Although interleukin-23 blockade has been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of psoriasis, relapses have occurred during therapy.

Our study aims to identify the cellular source of key cytokines involved in disease recurrence or persistence of at least one psoriatic lesion in patients affected by moderate- severe psoriasis treated with an anti-IL-23 biologic drug. The immune infiltrate of resistant or relapsed plaques during anti-IL-23 therapy will be analysed from skin biopsies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify the cellular source of key cytokines involved in disease recurrence or persistence of at least a psoriatic lesion

    Through the integration of multiparametric immunofluorescence staining with RNA in situ hybridization technology, our study aims to identify the cellular source of key cytokines involved in disease recurrence or persistence of at least one lesion psoriatic lesion in patients with moderate-severe psoriasis, undergoing treatment with anti-IL-23.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. immune biomarkers of sustained and prolonged response to treatment

    Identification of possible immune biomarkers of sustained and prolonged response to anti-IL-23 biological therapy that will include the expression profile of biomarkers related to tissue immune memory.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Psoriasis, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 24 Jan 2025. 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 Italy. 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 Ketty Peris, Prof (+390630155284, ketty.peris@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identify the cellular source of key cytokines involved in disease recurrence or persistence of at least a psoriatic lesion (time frame: through study completion, an average of 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 24 Jan 2025.
