Mind Matters: A High Touch, Low Cost Approach to Improving Mental Health Outcomes in Patients With Psoriatic Diseases
Description

Despite advances in effective psoriatic disease treatment, the disease still has a serious impact on mental health and well-being of millions of patients. Up to 20.7% of patients report poor mental health, compared to 7.1% of the general population. Mental health treatment involves a combination of medication and talk therapy to address such issues. However, there is increasing evidence that optimizing behaviors such as sleep, physical activity, stress, and nutrition are critical components in improving mental health too. Numerous online health programs have evolved to help patients optimize such behaviors but very little exists for patients with psoriatic diseases. The "Immune Strength" 12 week program utilizes online electronic coaching (eCoaching) with weekly access to a wellness professional to provide a low-cost, high-touch, personalized intervention that patients can access 24/7. In conjunction with traditional clinical care, the goal of this program is to leverage the convenience, affordability, scalability and effectiveness of an online eCoaching program to improve key physical behaviors, thereby reducing the mental health burden experienced by psoriatic disease patients.

Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease in Psoriatic Disease
Description

This study will look at how chronic inflammation seen in psoriatic disease translates into the increased atherosclerotic and thrombotic risk and how treatment reduces this CVD risk. The Aim of this study is to 1) Evaluate the association between moderate to severe psoriatic disease and measures of vascular function. 2) Evaluate the association between moderate to severe psoriatic disease and measures of thrombotic risk. 3) Understand how traditional medications used in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention such as aspirin and statins affect vascular function and thrombotic risk in those with moderate to severe psoriatic disease.

Elucidating Shared Mechanisms Contributing to NAFLD and PsA Disease Severity With Guselkumab Therapy
Description

While many studies examine Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), little is known about its progression to high-risk nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in PsA patients. Shared disease mechanisms may explain the increased severity in PsA. This study involves two visits from PsA patients with NAFLD and active disease signs (e.g., swollen joint, enthesitis, or psoriatic plaque). It aims to assess the impact of biological therapies on liver disorders, joints, and skin in PsA patients.

RECRUITING
A Study to Assess Adverse Events, Change in Disease Activity, and How the Drug Moves Through the Body in Children With Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis (jPsA) Receiving Subcutaneously Injected Risankizumab or Adalimumab
Description

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis that happens when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Symptoms can get worse and go away for periods of time. PsA that begins before a patient's 16th birthday is called juvenile PsA (jPsA).This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and to assess change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is being studied for the treatment of jPsA and adalimumab is approved for the treatment of jPsA. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to receive adalimumab. Approximately 40 juvenile participants with jPsA will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites worldwide. Participants will receive risankizumab and adalimumab as subcutaneous (SC) injections based on body weight. At the start of Period 1, participants are randomized to receive risankizumab or adalimumab for 24 weeks. Participants who respond to the study treatment received in Period 1, will continue to receive the same treatment in Period 2 for another 100 weeks. Those with worsening jPsA symptoms in Period 2 will be withdrawn from the study. Participants who receive adalimumab are followed for safety for 70 days after the last study treatment. Participants who receive risankizumab are followed for 140 days after the last study treatment. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). 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.

99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 in Diagnosis of Spondyloarthritis
Description

This single center, open-label, proof of concept (PoC) Phase II study aimed to assess the investigational imaging agent 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 in detecting spondyloarthritis (SpA) lesions. Overall, it was planned to recruit 20 adults with suspected or confirmed SpA. First, 5 patients were enrolled into a "proof of concept" phase, to assess the imaging potential of 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 in terms of imaging quality, disease-lesion radiotracer uptake and medical relevance. Based on these results the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) was to decide whether to terminate the study or whether to continue and enroll the next 15 planned patients.

Stelara and Tremfya Pregnancy Exposure Registry OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Project
Description

The purpose of the OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Study is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to certain medications, to evaluate the possible teratogenic effect of these medications and to follow live born infants for one year after birth. With respect to fetal outcome, it is important to evaluate the spectrum of outcomes that may be relevant to a medication exposure during pregnancy, and these include both easily recognizable defects which are visible at birth, as well as more subtle or delayed defects that may not be readily identifiable without special expertise and observation beyond the newborn period.
