Chinese Psoriasis Real World Evidence Research

This research is a multicenter,observational study under real world settings in patients diagnosed as psoriasis by dermatologist in the clinic. As patient's choice of medication should be fully respected, all the patients can choose the treatments they prefer, like phototherapy, traditional systemic therapy or biologics. And the study was conducted to compare the effectiveness among different choices of medication in Chinese psoriasis patients.

MTX-related Liver Toxicity in Psoriasis Patients, Using Ultrasound-based Techniques as a Diagnostic Tool

Methotrexate is one of the commonly used conventional systemic treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis as well as psoriatic arthritis. It is also used as co-therapy with TNF-antagonists to improve efficacy and reduce neutralizing drug antibodies formation. Apart from the bone marrow suppression, which can largely be avoided with careful dosing, monitoring and avoidance of certain drug interaction, hepatotoxicity is one of the major side-effects. The prevalence of significant liver fibrosis in patients taking methotrexate is estimated to be 5% and cirrhosis 1-2%. The British Association of Dermatologist's guideline (2016) discussed a few non-invasive tests such as the amino-terminal peptide of procollagen III (PIIINP), Fibrotest and transient elastography. While PIIINP was recommended to be used in baseline and serial assessment, liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography is not yet widely used owing to lack of high-quality data. Transient elastography (TE) has been shown to correlate well with liver fibrosis and has been widely adopted as a non-invasive method to assess liver fibrosis in various chronic liver disease. Two-dimensional shear wave elastrography (2D SWE) is a novel ultrasound technique that combines shear wave elastography with traditional ultrasound imaging. Liver stiffness measurement can be performed under the guidance of high rate B-mode image, allowing real-time visualization of liver parenchyma and avoidance of non-target structures such as vessels or focal liver lesions. In view of the demand of a safer and reliable non-invasive test to detect advanced liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients receiving methotrexate, we propose to recruit at-risk patients for a paired TE and 2D SWE assessment and liver biopsy.

Regulation of Inflammatory Genes in Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent skin disorder characterized by marked inflammatory changes in the skin. An extensive cytokine network including generated by activated dendritic cells and T cells mediates the formation of psoriatic lesions. These immune-response parameters can be used as markers in the severity and management of the disease after further in-depth studies.

Modified Intermittent Fasting in Psoriasis

The complexity of psoriasis is partially affected by dietary effects, and some diets have shown to be beneficial in psoriasis. Intermittent fasting has been shown to improve many of these disturbances, even inflammatory parameters such as TNF and CRP. Individuals with psoriasis have been reported to have impaired intestinal integrity and it has been suggested that gut health affects skin health, pointing towards a gut-skin axis. Understanding how dietary lifestyles can affect epithelial lineages such as the skin and gut, will greatly improve our understanding on the development of psoriasis. Modified intermittent fasting (MIF) of 2 non-consecutive days has shown to have positive metabolic effects, yet its effect on gut and skin remains underexplored.

A Study of Real-World Experience of Psoriasis Patients Treated With Apremilast in Clinical Dermatology Practice

This is a retrospective, multi-center observational cohort study. This study will be implemented first in Germany (approximately 50 sites), the United Kingdom (approximately 20 sites) and Sweden (approximately 25 sites), followed by a selected number of countries in Europe, depending on apremilast local availability. The design of this apremilast retrospective study aims to provide clinical information regarding the treatment initiation and outcomes in psoriasis patients when prescribed apremilast in real world settings. In addition, this study is aiming at capturing physicians' and patients' treatment goals when initiating apremilast and whether these goals are achieved following apremilast use. This study is primarily descriptive in nature, and no a priori hypotheses are specified. Patients must voluntarily sign an informed consent form, be 18 or over, have been diagnosed with plaque psoriasis and have been treated with apremilast during the previous 5-7 months to participate in this study. They must not be involved in any other clinical study involving apremilast.

How Does Patients' Overall Assessment of Their Health Vary Across and Within Different Disease Groups?

EQ-5D is one of the most commonly employed patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. It is included in many of the Swedish National Quality Registers (NQRs). EQ-5D health states are usually summarized using 'values' obtained from healthy members of the general public. However an alternative - which remains to be studied in detail - is the potential to use patients' self-reported overall health on the visual analogue scale as a means of capturing experience-based values. The overall aim of this project is to increase knowledge on the potential applicability of EQ VAS as a health state valuation method through assessment of its variability across and within patient groups and compared with that of the general population in Sweden. Data on nearly 700,000 patients from 12 NQRs covering a variety of diseases/conditions and from the general population will be analysed. Longitudinal studies of PROs among different patient groups will be conducted at baseline/first visit and 1-year follow-up. Descriptive analyses comparing EQ-5D health states and observed self-assessed EQ VAS within and across registers will be performed. Comparisons of the change in health state and observed EQ VAS values over one year will also be made. Regression models will be used to assess whether EQ-5D dimensions predict observed EQ VAS values to investigate patient value sets in each NQR. These will be compared across the patient groups and with the existing Swedish experience-based VAS and time trade-off (TTO) value sets obtained from the general population. This research project will provide information on the variation among different patient groups in terms of self-reported health status through EQ VAS and comparison with the general population. Knowledge on the relative importance of different dimensions of the EQ-5D to different patient groups as well as the general population will be gained in this project. The possibility of getting value sets based on patients' self-reported EQ VAS values and their comparison with value sets from experience-based general population studies will be discussed.
