Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of delgocitinib cream applied twice daily compared to a cream vehicle for treating adults with mild to severe lichen sclerosus LS, a skin condition affecting mostly females in the anogenital area. The study is conducted in two parts Part 1 enrolls female participants to determine the best dose, and Part 2 includes both female and male participants to further assess the chosen dose and safety in males. Participants receive different dosing regimens of delgocitinib cream or cream vehicle applied twice daily during a 12-week initial treatment period, followed by a 40-week continuation treatment period. Different groups receive varying doses or sequences of delgocitinib cream and cream vehicle to compare effects. A substudy evaluates male participants separately to assess safety and efficacy. During the trial lasting between 55 and 60 weeks, participants undergo regular assessments including clinical evaluations of LS severity using IGA-LS scores, pain and itch numerical rating scales, and quality of life indexes. Safety is monitored through adverse event tracking and laboratory tests. The main outcome measured is the number of participants achieving a specific improvement in LS severity at Week 12, with additional evaluations continuing through Week 52.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness and safety of baricitinib for treating severe or very severe alopecia areata, a form of hair loss, in children aged 6 to less than 18 years. This Phase 3 clinical trial aims to better understand how baricitinib works in this young population with this condition. The study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and focuses on pediatric patients with a history of severe alopecia areata. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either a high dose or low dose of baricitinib taken orally, or a placebo. The study is divided into four periods a 5-week screening period to determine eligibility, a 36-week double-blind treatment period where participants receive the assigned study medication, an approximately 2-year long-term extension period for ongoing treatment, and a 4-week post-treatment follow-up. Some participants may continue treatment for up to a total of 180 weeks if eligible after the extension period. Throughout the study, participants undergo regular assessments including measurement of hair loss severity using the Severity of Alopecia Tool SALT score, patient-reported outcomes related to scalp hair and eyebroweyelash hair loss, and quality of life questionnaires. Safety and pharmacokinetics of baricitinib are also monitored. The primary outcome is to measure the percentage of participants achieving a SALT score of 20 or less by week 36. Participants receive careful monitoring during and after treatment, with the total study duration extending over multiple years.

Vitiligo is a long-term autoimmune condition that causes the skin to lose its color due to the immune system mistakenly attacking pigment-producing skin cells called melanocytes. This leads to patches of skin with less or no pigment, often appearing symmetrically on both sides of the body in the nonsegmental form of vitiligo. The study aims to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and tolerability of the drug zasocitinib in adults with nonsegmental vitiligo. Participants will receive oral capsules of zasocitinib at low, medium, or high doses for up to 52 weeks. Some participants will initially receive a placebo for 24 weeks, then switch to medium or high doses of zasocitinib for the remainder of the study. The placebo capsules look identical to zasocitinib but do not contain active medicine. The study uses a randomized, double-blind design with several experimental groups receiving different doses or placebo. During the study, participants will visit the clinic 11 times over one year. Researchers will assess the improvement in vitiligo using facial and total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index F-VASI and T-VASI at baseline and week 24. Safety and tolerability will also be monitored throughout. The primary outcome is the percentage of participants achieving at least 75% improvement in F-VASI at week 24. Secondary outcomes include other measures of vitiligo area improvement. Participants health and response to treatment will be closely followed until the studys end.

Researchers are evaluating the efficacy and safety of ORKA-002 in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. This multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study aims to find the best induction dosing regimen of ORKA-002. Approximately 160 adult participants with this skin condition will take part in the Phase 2 trial. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of three different induction dosing regimens of ORKA-002 or a placebo. Both ORKA-002 and placebo are given by subcutaneous injection. The study includes three periods Screening, Induction, and Post-treatment Follow-up. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including evaluations of skin severity using PASI and IGA scores. Researchers will monitor treatment-emergent adverse events through Week 48. The primary outcome is the proportion of participants achieving complete clearance of psoriasis at Week 16. The total participation time includes screening, treatment, and follow-up periods to assess safety and treatment response.

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.

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.
