NCT03359577
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Psoriasis is a common, genetically predisposed, inflammatory and proliferative disease of the skin, the most characteristic lesions consisting of chronic, sharply demarcated, dull-red scaly plaques, particularly on extensor parts of limbs and in the scalp. Psoriasis can be divided into mild, moderate or severe psoriasis based on the extent of the skin changes Psorax35, which is extracted from herring roe are shown to improve the condition of people with psoriasis. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect, safety, and mechanism of action of Psorax35 on mild to moderate Psoriasis and comorbidities associated with psoriasis through a 32-weeks study. The participants will be randomized into one of two arms; Psorax35 and Placebo. The study will include a total of 6 treatment visits involving Blood samples, Photo documentation, Psoriasis and Severity index (PASI), Body surface area (BSA), Physician's Static Global Assessment (PSGA), Life quality index (EQ-5D, VAS and DLQI), Blood pressure, Blood rate, Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist circumference, Waist/hip ratio, and 24 hrs dietary recall. At visit 4 Blood samples, Blood pressure, Blood rate, BMI, Waist circumference, Waist/hip ratio, and 24 hrs dietary recall are not included.
