The Psoriasis, Atherosclerosis, and Cardiometabolic Disease Initiative (PACI)

Background: - Cardiometabolic diseases are medical disorders that can occur together and affect the heart. They increase the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. One disorder, psoriasis, is an inflammation that mostly affects the skin but can affect the entire body. Another disorder, atherosclerosis, is a process in which cholesterol is gradually deposited on the wall of arteries. This causes arteries to harden and become less flexible. Many cells that cause psoriasis also cause atherosclerosis. Researchers want to look at the relationship between cardiometabolic diseases and psoriasis. Objectives: - To study the relationship between psoriasis and cardiometabolic diseases. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have psoriasis. Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Participants will have up to seven outpatient visits over the 4 years. The first visit will be a screening visit. Visits 2 will be12 months after visit 1. Visits 3, 4, and 5, will be scheduled yearly for the next 3 years. If participants have a psoriasis flare with more severe symptoms, they may have an extra visit. Those who leave the study early will have a final visit with the full series of tests. At visits 1, 2,and 5, and any flare visits, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will provide blood and urine samples, as well as optional tissue biopsies. They will also have heart function tests. Imaging studies, as well as optional photographs of affected areas, will be performed. These tests will also be performed at the final visit. At visits 3 and 4, participants will have a physical exam and medical history. They will also provide blood and urine samples, and have heart function tests.

Study of Subcutaneous (Injected Under the Skin) Risankizumab to Assess Change in Disease Symptoms in Adult Participants With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis With Palmoplantar Involvement

Plaque Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which skin cells build up and develop scaly red and white patches on the skin. It is caused by an overactive immune system where the body attacks healthy tissue by mistake. Palmoplantar (non-pustular) plaque psoriasis (PPPsO) represents a localized form of psoriasis in palms and soles. This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of plaque psoriasis with palmoplantar involvement and to assess change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is an approved drug for the treatment of psoriasis. Study doctors put the participants in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 2 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo in Period A. In Period B, all the participants will receive risankizumab. Around 168 adult participants with a moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will be enrolled in approximately 55 sites across the world. Participants will receive single subcutaneous (administered under the skin) risankizumab or placebo in period A (16 weeks). In period B (36 weeks), all participants will receive subcutaneous risankizumab once every 12 weeks. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Study to Assess the Change in Disease State When Subcutaneous Risankizumab Injection is Given to Adult Participants With Psoriasis in Taiwan

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic, disease characterized by marked inflammation of the skin that results in thick, red, scaly plaques and is associated with high burden of illness that results in a negative impact on long-term health outcomes including quality of life (QoL). The main objective of this study is to characterize the durability of response of risankizumab compared to other biologics measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 response in adult participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are either new or have used a biological treatment in the past. Risankizumab is a drug approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Participants who are prescribed risankizumab or other comparator drugs in the real world setting are enrolled in this study. Data from a total of approximately 240 participants; 160 using risankizumab and 80 using other biologics will be evaluated across Taiwan. Participants will receive subcutaneous risankizumab injection or or other biologic as prescribed by their physician. Data from these participants will be collected for approximately 2 years. There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and by questionnaire.

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 medical history. They may take a pregnancy test. Healthy volunteers will have 1 visit. Those with psoriasis will have a second visit 1 year later. Participants may give blood samples. They may have a heart function test. They may have a heart imaging test, and may get a contrast agent. If so, it will be injected into a vein. Participants may have positron emission tomography/computed tomography tests. They will lie on their back on a padded table with their arms straight overhead. They may get radioactive drugs through an intravenous (IV) catheter. They will get stress medicines through the IV. These drugs mimic exercise and increase blood flow through the heart. Participants may have cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. The scanner is a large tube. Participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of the tube. They will get gadolinium contrast in a vein to improve the pictures. They may get stress medicines. Coils will be used to help make the pictures. Participation for healthy volunteers will last 1-2 days. Participation for those with psoriasis will last 14 months.
