Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants with mild chronic plaque psoriasis vulgaris, defined as having a body surface area (BSA) greater than or equal to (>=) 1 percent (%) and less than (<) 10% (excluding palms, soles, face, scalp, and genitals), will be included in this study.

Who may be able to join

  • Participant has a history of chronic plaque psoriasis vulgaris for at least 6 months prior to the screening visit
  • Participant has had stable psoriasis conditions for at least 3 months before screening (information obtained from medical chart or participant's physician, or directly from the participant)
  • Participant has plaque psoriasis covering >= 1% but < 10% of his total BSA on Day 1
  • For Group A: Participant has one psoriasis target lesion or individual lesions within the same anatomical region (excluding palms, soles, face, scalp, and genitals), with a target lesion severity score (TLSS) score of >= 6 on Day 1 allowing the collection of three microneedle device samples and one biopsy sample
  • For Group B: Participant has one psoriasis target lesion or individual lesions within the same anatomical region (excluding palms, soles, face, scalp, and genitals), with a TLSS score of >= 6 on Day 1 allowing the collection of one microneedle device sample per visit (replicating the extraction on the same area at each visit) and one biopsy sample

Who cannot join

  • Participant is a female who is breastfeeding, pregnant, or who is planning to become pregnant during the study
  • Participant has evidence of erythrodermic, pustular, predominantly guttate psoriasis, or drug-induced psoriasis
  • Participant has a history of skin disease or presence of skin condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the sample collection or interpretation
  • Participant is known to have immune deficiency or is immunocompromised
  • Participant has a history of cancer or lymphoproliferative disease within 5 years prior to Day 1. Participants with successfully treated nonmetastatic cutaneous squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma and/or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix are not to be excluded

About this study

Official title: Collection of Skin Punch Biopsies and Non-Invasively Collected Microneedle Device Samples From Subjects With Mild Chronic Plaque Psoriasis Vulgaris to Use for Transcriptomics Profiling

The purpose of this study is to collect skin biopsies and non-invasive microneedle device samples from participants with mild chronic plaque psoriasis vulgaris to use for transcriptomics profiling for further investigation.

Being tested
Microneedle Device

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Microneedle DeviceDevice

    Microneedle device will be used for collecting skin samples as a non-invasive method.

Study groups in NCT03795402
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group AThree microneedle device samples will be collected from a psoriasis lesion and from nonlesional (healthy) skin on Day 1. Two skin biopsies of 4 millimeter (mm) will be performed on Day 1. No investigational drug product will be administered during this study.
Receives: Device: Microneedle Device
Group BOne microneedle device sample will be collected from a psoriasis lesion and from nonlesional (healthy) skin on Day 1 and at Weeks 2 and 4. Two skin biopsies of 4 mm will be performed on Day 1. No investigational drug product will be administered during this study.
Receives: Device: Microneedle Device

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Measurement of Expression by RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) of Extracted RNA Using Punch Biopsy Method Versus Microneedle Device Sampling Method

    Measurement of expression by ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing of extracted RNA by the frequently used punch biopsy method and the microneedle device will be performed to have a comparison between both the methods.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Psoriasis Vulgaris, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measurement of Expression by RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) of Extracted RNA Using Punch Biopsy Method Versus Microneedle Device Sampling Method (time frame: Up to 28 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Dec 2019.
