This is a global, Phase 3b/4, randomized, open-label, efficacy assessor-blinded, multi-center study that will evaluate upadacitinib compared to dupilumab in adult subjects with moderate to severe AD and inadequate response to dupilumab after at least 6 months of current use. The study consists of a 35-day Screening Period; an 8-week randomized, open-label, efficacy assessor blinded treatment period for all participants (Period 1); a 24-week open-label, efficacy assessor-blinded extension period for all participants who finish Period 1 (Period 2) (total duration of Period 1 and Period 2 is 32 weeks); and a 30-day Follow-up visit.

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, vehicle-controlled phase to evaluate the efficacy and safety of diacerein 1% ointment applied topically once daily for 8 weeks for the treatment of adult and pediatric (age ≥ 6 months) patients with generalized EBS. The duration of study participation is anticipated to be approximately ~16 to 20 weeks per patient consisting of a Screening Period of up to 4 weeks, a Treatment Period of 8 weeks and a No Treatment Follow-up Period of 8 weeks. Patients that complete this portion of the study will be eligible to participate in an open-label, 24-week extension phase to evaluate the long-term safety of diacerein 1% ointment for the treatment of generalized EBS.

This is a double arm, open label, 20-week Phase III study with three and six-month follow up periods, in patients with a documented history of generalised vitiligo.
Up to 200 eligible patients across study sites will be enrolled and randomised in equal numbers to one of the following treatment groups:
• Group A will receive NB-UVB twice weekly from Day 0 (40 treatments in total), and SCENESSE® (one implant administered on Days 0, 21 (±4), 42 (±4), 63 (±4), 84 (±4), 105 (±4) and 126 (±4) (seven implants in total));
• Group B will receive NB-UVB light only (administered twice weekly for 20 weeks, 40 treatments in total).
To determine eligibility for study participation, patients will undergo a screening evaluation within a 28-day period before receiving the first study treatment.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of upadicitinib in adults and adolescents with severe alopecia areata. Participation in this research study will take approximately 168 weeks with 17 visits in that time. This research study includes three phases; a screening phase, treatment phase, and a follow-up phase. The length of the screening period varies from 1 to 35 days, depending on therapies that must be washed out or discontinued before initiation of treatment. Patients who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive upadicitinib or placebo for the first 24 weeks. At week 24, all patients will receive upadicitinib until week 160. The post-treatment follow-up visit will occur approximately 30 days after the last study drug dose.

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.

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).

This project is a pilot study to determine if use of the J-Tip Needle-Free Injection System, used to administer local anesthesia, has any effects on the appearance of skin samples when viewed under a microscope compared with skin samples that have been injected with local anesthesia using a needle. If use of the J-Tip device for local anesthesia delivery is shown not to alter the microscopic appearance of skin, anesthesia for skin biopsies in the future may potentially be performed without a needle, allowing for less fear and pain.

In clinical practice, standard of care for treatment of adolescent acne includes extended courses, i.e., 3 months or longer, of systemic tetracyclines, a type of antibiotic.The gut is home to many bacteria. Administration of antibiotics kills these bacteria and prevents them from repopulating during critical developmental periods. The lack of these bacteria has effects on metabolism, fat, and bone mass
accrual in adolescent mice. Given what we have observed in mouse studies,
we are interested to observe the impact of systemic tetracycline acne therapy in adolescents on fat deposition and the skeleton.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab when used in combination with topical corticosteroid (TCS) treatment, compared with placebo, in pediatric participants with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Participants found to be eligible according to all of the study entry criteria will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive either lebrikizumab or placebo. This study can last up to 32 weeks, with 4 study periods. Screening Period: up to 4 weeks (≤30 days), TCS Standardization Period: 2 weeks, Treatment Period: 16 weeks, Post-Treatment Safety Follow-up Period: 12 weeks.

The purpose of this research study is to develop a better understanding of the cause and natural history of vascular anomalies and related syndromes. This study is being done in order to develop a better understanding of the cause of vascular anomalies in order to to improve care for people who are affected by these anomalies and related syndromes.

This study is being done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) and other sites in North America and Europe. A total of about 1000 people will participate in this study. About 20 – 30 people will take part in the study here at the Medical University of South Carolina.
