Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of BFB759, a human monoclonal antibody that targets multiple inflammatory cytokines, in adults with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa HS that is not well controlled by systemic antibiotics. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study involves participants aged 18 to 75 years and aims to understand how well BFB759 works compared to a placebo over approximately 36 to 40 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of several groups. Some will receive a loading dose of BFB759 followed by either a high or mid maintenance dose every two weeks through Week 14. Others will receive a placebo every two weeks for 14 weeks, then, if still enrolled, be re-randomized to receive either a low or mid dose of BFB759 every two weeks from Week 16 through Week 30. This design allows comparison of different dosing regimens and the placebo effect. During the study, participants will attend about 22 visits over 21 months to monitor safety and effectiveness. Researchers will measure clinical activity using scales such as HiSCR50, the International Hidradenitis Suppurativa Severity Score System IHS4, Skin Pain Numerical Rating Scale, and the Hidradenitis Suppurativa-Investigator Global Assessment HS-IGA. Participants are expected to follow study instructions carefully, attend regular visits, and avoid certain medications. The primary outcomes focus on efficacy at Weeks 16 and 32, with ongoing safety assessments throughout the study.

The study is sponsored by EMD Serono Research & Development Institute, Inc.

This clinical trial investigates the efficacy and safety of bimekizumab compared with placebo in adults with palmoplantar pustulosis PPP, a skin condition causing pustules on the palms and soles. The study is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with an open-label extension, aiming to evaluate treatment responses and safety outcomes in participants diagnosed with PPP for at least 24 weeks and who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives bimekizumab for the entire study duration, while the other receives placebo initially before switching to bimekizumab in the maintenance phase. Treatments are given at specified time points throughout the study, which includes an initial treatment period followed by a maintenance period under open-label conditions. During the study, participants undergo assessments including the Palmoplantar pustulosis-Investigator Global Assessment PPP-IGA response at Week 16, Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area Severity Index PPPASI responses at Weeks 8 and 16, and quality of life evaluations via the Dermatology Life Quality Index DLQI. Researchers monitor pain scores, adverse events, and serious side effects from baseline through safety follow-up up to Week 117. Participants will be closely observed through regular visits and evaluations during these periods.

Alopecia areata AA is a chronic autoimmune condition causing hair loss on the scalp and other body areas, affecting children, adolescents, and adults of all backgrounds. This study focuses on patients aged 12 years and older who are prescribed ritlecitinib, a medication approved for severe AA. Researchers aim to understand patient and disease characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes with ritlecitinib in everyday clinical practice. Participants receive ritlecitinib according to approved guidelines and their doctors judgment, reflecting real-world treatment rather than a controlled trial setting. The study observes patients over time, assessing how the medication is used and its impact on AA symptoms. No placebo or control group is involved, as the study is observational. Throughout the study, patients attend regular clinic visits to monitor their condition, complete questionnaires about their experience and quality of life, and undergo assessments like the Severity of Alopecia Tool SALT score. The main measurement is the percentage change in SALT score after 24 weeks, with additional follow-ups at later weeks to evaluate ongoing effectiveness and patient satisfaction. The total study period extends to April 2028.

Researchers are evaluating the long-term safety of Deucravacitinib compared to Ustekinumab in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. This Phase 3b4 study focuses on cardiovascular events and other health outcomes over an extended period, aiming to understand how these treatments impact patients with psoriasis who have cardiovascular risk factors. The study is led by Bristol-Myers Squibb and involves random assignment of participants to either treatment. Participants receive either Deucravacitinib or Ustekinumab at specified doses on scheduled days. The study is open-label, meaning both participants and researchers know which treatment is being given. This trial runs for up to 5 years, during which patients are monitored for cardiovascular safety and other health events related to their psoriasis treatment. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments to track major cardiovascular events like heart attacks, strokes, and hospitalizations, as well as monitoring for infections, cancer, and treatment side effects. Researchers collect data on liver function and lipid levels up to 60 days after the last dose. The long-term follow-up helps evaluate safety and health outcomes over several years, with study activities continuing until early 2031.

Researchers are evaluating the pharmacokinetics, safety, and effectiveness of povorcitinib in adolescents aged 12 to 17 with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa. This phase 2 open-label study focuses on this skin condition characterized by painful abscesses and nodules that have persisted for at least three months. Participants must have shown inadequate response or intolerance to conventional systemic treatments. Participants will receive one of two doses of povorcitinib orally as tablets for 54 weeks. This open-label study involves parallel assignment with two experimental groups receiving different doses of the study drug. The long treatment period is designed to assess drug behavior in the body, safety, and clinical response over time. Throughout the study, participants will be regularly monitored for side effects and drug levels in the blood up to 24 weeks. Researchers will assess skin lesion counts, pain scores, and quality of life measures at multiple visits during the 54-week treatment. The study tracks adverse events and detailed pharmacokinetic parameters while evaluating improvements in skin symptoms and overall impact on participants daily lives.

Researchers are studying the real-world effectiveness of nemolizumab in adults with moderate-to-severe Prurigo nodularis PN, a chronic skin condition. This observational study aims to assess outcomes reported by both investigators and patients over six months, focusing on how the treatment works in routine clinical practice. The study follows adults newly prescribed nemolizumab by their physicians. Participants will be observed for about 12 months while receiving treatment as part of their regular medical care. No extra visits, procedures, or lab tests beyond usual clinical practice are required. A sub-study in Germany and the UK will have some participants record their itch intensity and sleep disturbance daily for the first two weeks through remote data collection. Participants will have routine clinical visits determined by their doctors, with data collected during these visits. Researchers will assess outcomes such as the Investigator Global Assessment of chronic prurigo and patient-reported peak itch intensity at six months and up to 12 months. Sleep disturbance and prurigo activity will also be tracked. This approach allows long-term monitoring of treatment effects in a real-world setting without added study-related procedures.

Researchers are evaluating the real-world use of nemolizumab for treating moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis AD in adolescents and adults. This observational study aims to assess the treatments effectiveness through physician evaluations and patient-reported outcomes over six months, providing insight into how the medication performs in everyday clinical practice. Participants receiving nemolizumab as part of their routine care will be observed for about 12 months. Treatment decisions are made by the participants physician before joining the study, with no extra visits or tests beyond usual medical care. A sub-study in Germany and the UK involves daily remote reporting of symptoms such as peak and average itch, sleep disturbance, and pain for the first two weeks. During the study, participants will have regular medical visits as determined by their doctors, with data collected from routine assessments and patient questionnaires. Researchers will measure outcomes like the Investigator Global Assessment and Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale at six months, along with other severity and symptom scores up to 12 months. No additional procedures outside standard care are required, allowing for natural monitoring of treatment effects and safety.

This trial is a rollover study for adults who previously participated in specific Incyte-sponsored clinical trials involving the drug povorcitinib. It focuses on people with Hidradenitis Suppurativa HS, a condition being studied to better understand the long-term safety and effects of continuing povorcitinib treatment. The purpose is to monitor participants who have already benefited from povorcitinib in earlier studies, now entering an extended phase to further evaluate safety and treatment outcomes. Participants will continue taking povorcitinib orally, following the same dose and schedule they had in their original parent study. This study does not test new doses or compare treatments but observes continued use of the drug under the established regimen. The study may last for up to approximately three years, reflecting extended monitoring rather than initial treatment phases. During the study, participants will attend scheduled visits for assessments, including tracking any treatment-emergent adverse events and measuring symptom counts related to HS. Researchers will collect safety data over the long term and observe clinical responses. Participants must adhere to study procedures and avoid pregnancy or fathering children as required. The study aims to provide detailed safety information over an extended period while participants remain on the drug regimen from their original trial.

Researchers are evaluating the safety and effectiveness of ENV-294 in adults with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The study aims to find out if ENV-294 can reduce the severity and area affected by atopic dermatitis and to monitor any medical problems participants may experience while taking the drug. This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial sponsored by Enveda Therapeutics. Participants will take either ENV-294 or a placebo once daily by mouth for 12 weeks. Those in the treatment arm will receive ENV-294 tablets, while those in the placebo arm will receive matching tablets without the active drug. Participants will visit the clinic every 2 to 4 weeks for checkups and tests during the treatment period. After 12 weeks, participants will return to the clinic for a final study visit at about week 16. During the study, participants will keep a diary to record their symptoms and study drug intake. Researchers will assess the severity and extent of atopic dermatitis, monitor adverse events, and evaluate patient-reported outcomes and pharmacokinetics of ENV-294 from baseline through week 12. Safety and effectiveness will be closely monitored throughout the trial, with a total participation duration of approximately 16 weeks.
