Development of Predictive Psoriasis Response Endotypes Using Single Cell Transcriptomics
Study Purpose
The investigators propose to improve the possibility of reaching skin resolution by identifying certain markers or gene patterns that may predict patient response to certain psoriasis drugs ahead of time, thus eliminating or reducing the trial-and-error approach often employed. The ability to rule out (or in) specific therapeutics based on predictive efficacy would lead to a more personalized approach for psoriasis treatment. To do this, the investigators will be asking participants to try two different already on the market FDA-approved psoriasis drugs for 8 weeks at a time. The investigators will be monitoring participants skin for improvements as well as taking blood and skin samples at least three times. Investigators may also ask to take stool samples and/or skin swabs.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT05270733 |
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. |
