Dermatologic Research Evaluation and Monitoring of Sleep in Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis
Getting enough sleep is important for maximizing health and well-being. When it comes to health, sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet. Not getting enough sleep can lead to health problems like heart attacks, diabetes, and even cancer. Since individuals with psoriasis have these same health problems, getting better sleep may help to keep them happier and healthier. This study will look at how individuals with psoriasis sleep and if their sleep is different than indivuduals without psoriasis.

Disease Trajectories and Anti-cytokine Response Signatures in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis
The clinical study investigates the long-term course of disease in patients with chronic inflammatory skin diseases (atopic eczema and psoriasis) and the impact of tarheted therapies on the clinical and molecular level. For this purpose, patients are asked to take part in regular examinations and data collections, and to donate biomaterials (blood, skin biopsies, skin swabs, tape strips, stool samples). Blood samples are used to analyze inflammation messengers. Punch biopsies from lesional and non-lesional skin areas are used to analyze gene expression. Tape strips are pieces of transparent adhesive tapes to strip off most of the ...

Do Patients With Skin Psoriasis Have Sub-clinical Features of Active Psoriatic Arthritis on Musculoskeletal UltraSound?
Psoriatic Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that typically affects joints and soft tissues such as tendons. Poorly controlled or untreated psoriatic arthritis can lead to joint damage, disability and poor physical and mental wellbeing. Evidence suggests that early diagnosis and treatment of psoriatic arthritis can minimise adverse health outcomes. Musculoskeletal ultrasound has become an extremely useful tool in aiding rheumatologists to diagnose inflammatory joint conditions particularly at an early stage in the course of a disease. Psoriatic arthritis is known to affect up to 30% of patients with skin psoriasis....

Dose Reduction of IL17 and IL23 Inhibitors in Psoriasis
The main objective of this study is to investigate whether controlled dose reduction of IL17 or IL23 inhibiting biologics is not inferior compared to usual care in psoriasis patients. Therefore, a pragmatic, multicentre, randomized, controlled, non-inferiority study will be carried out.

Early Biomarkers for ARthritic PAIN to Guide Improved Treatments for Arthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a condition affecting the whole joint and is a major cause of pain and disability worldwide. Although OA is very common, the initial steps which lead to the development of pain and tissue damage are not fully understood. In this study participants will be investigated for markers in the blood, joint and urine in people who have a diagnosis of osteoarthritis or inflammatory arthritis and are receiving a steroid injection for their condition. Markers will be evaluated in participants with osteoarthritis compared with other types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis.

Effectiveness of Interdisciplinary Care Compared to Usual Care in Patients With Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases
The overall aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary combined clinic intervention compared to usual care in a population of patients with two or more Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).

Effectiveness of Treatment With Tofacitinib in Patients With Psoriatic Arthritis in Routine Clinical Practice
This is a Multinational Study of Tofacitinib in Patients Treated for Psoriatic Arthritis in order to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with tofacitinib on disease activity, remission, and Quality of Life, in a real-world setting over a 12-month observation period

Effect of Chronic Inflammation on Myocardial Perfusion and Function
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a public health burden. Studies have shown a link between inflammation, myocardial dysfunction, and HF. Researchers want to use psoriasis as a disease model of chronic inflammation to further study the link between inflammation and myocardial dysfunction. Objective: To learn if chronic inflammation affects the heart and if taking a biological medicine for chronic inflammation helps improve how the heart works. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have moderate to severe psoriasis, and healthy adult volunteers. Design: Participants will be screened with a...

Effect of Guselkumab on Cardiovascular Risk Surrogate Markers in Participants With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of guselkumab on coronary flow reserve (CFR), measured by transthoracic doppler-echocardiography, in participants with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and intermediate cardiovascular risk.
