100 Participants Needed

The purpose of this study is to assess adults with palmoplantar keratoderma (thickening skin layer on palms and soles) who are treated with the study drug, tapinarof. This is a naturally occuring compound used for the treatment of psoriasis. This study is being done to find out how well and safe this drug is for stopping or treating keratoderma. This study aims to investigate the positive impacts of daily topical Tapinarof use in the improvement of Keratoderma. Clinical efficacy and safety profile of prescribing Tapinarof for this condition will be evaluated.

The investigators hypothesize that topical application of Tapinarof, an FDA-approved topical Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, would inhibit lupus-causing T cells and lead to improvement of cutaneous lupus lesions. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will perform a prospective, interventional clinical trial in patients with chronic and/or subacute cutaneous lupus. This trial will include outcomes analyzing the change in cutaneous lupus lesions using standardized assessments, but also analyze pre- and post-treatment skin and blood immune parameters to elucidate the immune effects and changes in lupus as a result of topical AHR agonist application. The goals are to 1) identify if topical AHR agonism leads to improvement in cutaneous lupus, and 2) examine the immunopathology of cutaneous lupus and its alteration with topical AHR agonist treatment.

Betamethasone vs. Tapinarof for Psoriasis

Winston-Salem, North Carolina
The purpose of this prospective study is to evaluate the degree of post-inflammatory pigmentation alteration on legs of study subjects treated with two different psoriasis treatments. Betamethasone dipropionate 0.05% cream is a high potency steroid that is commonly used to alleviate the inflammation of psoriasis. Tapinarof is another medication approved for psoriasis; tapinarof activates aryl hydrocarbon receptors to downregulate inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin \[IL\]-17) which play a large role in psoriasis. Study subjects will be randomized to receive one of these medications and will be followed to monitor for PIPA. Photographs will be taken to help evaluate visual changes. The Taylor Hyperpigmentation scale will be used to grade the area and severity of hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation; severity of erythema, burning, peeling, and dryness will also be recorded. This will allow us to understand the effects of two standard-of-care psoriasis medications to better treat patients.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Tapinarof for Cutaneous Lupus, Tapinarof for Palmoplantar Keratoderma and Betamethasone vs. Tapinarof for Psoriasis to the Power online platform.
