Summary

This study is being done to learn more about apremilast (AMG 407) in mild to moderate plaque psoriasis in participants (children and adolescents) aged 6 to 17 years. It will see whether it causes any side effects. About 50 people are expected to take part in this study. The duration of the study is approximately 285 days. This includes 3 phases: 35 days of screening phase, 225 days (32 weeks) of treatment phase, and 60 days of observational follow-up phase after the last dose of study drug – this means drug is still being tested to see if it is safe and works.

Summary

This Phase 3 study is designed to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of lebrikizumab in participants 6 months to <18 years of age with moderate-to-severe AD. Participants who have completed Study KGBI through Week 16 without requiring the use of systemic rescue medication will be eligible to enroll into Study KGBJ. All participants will receive active lebrikizumab treatment during Study KGBJ. The planned duration of treatment for each participant is approximately 52 weeks. All participants will enter a post-treatment safety follow-up period approximately 12 weeks after the last dose of lebrikizumab. This study will include both on-site (in clinic) and remote visits (telephone calls).

Summary

We plan to obtain skin biopsies from patients with systemic sclerosis and healthy donors to grow cells from biopsies. With those cells, we will use them in experiments to see why the cells from systemic sclerosis patients have more fibrosis compared to patients without systemic sclerosis.

Weekly Sirolimus Therapy for the Treatment of Venous and Lymphatic Malformations

List of Studies

Keywords

Summary

In current practice, options for venous and lymphatic malformations remain limited. Recently an oral medication, sirolimus, has been found to benefit patients when taken once or twice a day for several months. Unfortunately there are many side effects associated with this medication, some of which can be severe including, neutropenia, oral ulcerations, and lab abnormalities. The purpose of this study is to determine if once weekly dosed sirolimus will be effective for the treatment of venous and lymphatic malformations. Additionally, the study will evaluate patient satisfaction and identify adverse effects. Participants will be on the medication for 6 months with an option to continue after this time period.

A 5-year Longitudinal Observational Study of Patients Undergoing Therapy for Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions

Keywords

Summary

This is a 5-year, longitudinal, observational study of adult and pediatric patients (all ages) being treated for Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions. In addition to the study database, a biospecimen repository will be included in order to perform studies on biomarkers of response.

Patients being prescribed medical therapy for IMISC will be eligible for enrollment. Treatment algorithms will follow each site's local standard of care and no specific treatments, assessments, and/or laboratory tests will be dictated by enrollment in the main TARGET-DERM Program. Patients will be screened and enrolled at a regularly scheduled clinic visit. Up to three years of retrospective
medical records from patients who provide consent/assent and meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be obtained by the research site. Records will include but will not be limited to: hospitalizations, laboratory reports, clinic notes, telephone contact reports, medication lists, reasons for medication initiation and/or discontinuation, biopsy results, and imaging. Patients may
also be linked to external databases (such as patient support programs). Patients will also be asked to provide biological samples and complete patient reported outcome (PRO) surveys, although participation in these two portions is optional.

During the follow-up period, the research site will prospectively submit the research subjects' medical records approximately every 6 to 12 months, for up to 5 years. Patients/legal representatives ("parent proxy") will be asked to complete PRO surveys at regular intervals during this follow-up period.

Summary

The goal of this study is to develop an early systemic sclerosis (SSc) registry in the United States (US). A registry is a group of patients that are observed over time. This is a non-interventional study, meaning that they are no study specific medications to take or procedures to undergo. The specific aims include ongoing assessment of the natural history of early SSc patients by capturing and analyzing clinical data, patient reported outcomes, and laboratory data as seen in the clinic as part of their routine care needs. Additional study visits are not required. This is a multi-center study with sites spread across the U.S. This study is funded by the Scleroderma Research Foundation.
