Effectiveness

How Duobrii Affects Patients

Corticosteroids, like Ulobetasol, work by blocking inflammation-causing signals and promoting anti-inflammatory signals. Ulobetasol needs to be applied once or twice each day, and the dose might be higher than the amount of corticosteroid hormones naturally produced by the body. It is important to remember that taking corticosteroids can lead to HPA axis suppression, which weakens the immune system, and increases the risk of infections.

How Duobrii works in the body

Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation and swelling in the body. They do this by blocking certain molecules and proteins that help cause inflammation. They also reduce the number of white blood cells that rush to sites of inflammation. Low doses of corticosteroids reduce inflammation, while higher doses weaken your immune system. High doses of corticosteroids also increase your sodium levels and decrease your potassium levels.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Duobrii hinges upon the verified affliction, including Pruritus, corticosteroid responsive, Inflammatory Dermatosis and Plaque Psoriasis. The amount also varies based on the method of administration (e.g. Lotion - Topical or Cream) tabulated in the table below.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

I've been using this cream for a few weeks now and the results have been amazing. My biopsy site is the only thing that hasn't cleared up yet, but I'm hopeful that a few more weeks will do the trick.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

I've been using this cream for plaque psoriasis on my arms and legs, and it's working great! In just five days, I've seen a huge difference in the thickness of my psoriasis spots. They're redder now, but that's to be expected with any kind of treatment like this. My skin is peeling around the areas where I put the meds, but some lotion takes care of that.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

After using this for less than a week, the thick bumps on my skin were gone. I experienced some peeling and redness, but no pain, and my skin felt much smoother. So far, so good!

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

I've only been using this product for a short while, so it's hard to tell if it's truly effective yet. So far, the results have been promising but I'm going to continue use and see how things go. The application process is straightforward which is great. My dermatologist didn't seem too familiar with the product, so that was a little frustrating; however, I reached out to the company directly and they were able to offer more guidance and support.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

This treatment worked great at first, but after a couple of weeks my skin became red and began to burn and itch. It's almost worse than the psoriasis itself. I have stopped using this cream. I can't say I wouldn't recommend it because it does work, but it really depends on how your body reacts to it.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

I was disappointed with this treatment. While it did help clear up a few spots, there were still several patches of skin that it did nothing for.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

While this drug did help with my plaque psoriasis at first, the skin irritation it caused was much worse than the psoriasis. Early on, I saw good results: clearer, smoother skin with only a little irritation that seemed to go away. But then, about three weeks in, the reaction got much worse. My skin became very red in more than half of the treatment area; itchy, irritated, and painful to touch in some areas. Consequently, I cannot recommend this experience or this drug.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

Though this cream helped to remove the scales of my psoriasis, it was very difficult to apply through my hair. After a few days of use, I developed an intense burning and itching sensation that forced me to discontinue use.

Duobrii for Plaque Psoriasis

I did not have a positive experience with this medication. My plaque psoriasis actually got worse, and I developed painful sunburn-like symptoms on the treated area. I also now have an infection. Overall, I would not recommend this treatment to others.

Zasocitinib for Plaque Psoriasis

4 - 17
All Sexes
Chula Vista, CA

The main aim of this study is to see how well the medicine zasocitinib works, how safe it is, and how children and teenagers aged 4 to under 18 with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis respond to it. The study will be done in 2 parts: Part A will include both children and teenagers, while part B will only include children. At first, only teenagers who meet the study rules can participate in this study. Children may only start to participate once enough information has been collected from other studies with zasocitinib. Participants in Part A will initially be assigned to receive either zasocitinib or placebo for the first 16 weeks of treatment, then all participants will receive zasocitinib through the end of the study. All participants in Part B will be assigned to receive treatment with zasocitinib throughout the study. Participants will be in the study for up to 4 years and 2 months (217 weeks), including up to 35 days for the screening period, 208 weeks of treatment (Part A and Part B) and a 4-week safety follow-up period. During the study, participants will visit their study site multiple times.

ESK-001 for Plaque Psoriasis

18+
All Sexes
Markham, Canada

The objective of the ESK-001-018 long term extension is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESK-001 over time. The scientific questions it aims to answer are: * How safe is taking ESK-001 long-term in people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis? * Does taking ESK-001 long-term reduce the severity of people's plaque psoriasis? Patients will enter the long-term extension study following completion of one of the parent studies (ESK-001-016 or ESK-001-017) and will receive open-label ESK-001 twice daily for 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, the first 200 patients meeting at least PASI-75 clinical response will be randomly assigned to receive ESK-001 or placebo. At any point during this time, the patients losing the initial clinical response may return to the open-label ESK-001 treatment. Patients who complete Week 48 will return to open-label ESK-001 treatment and they will receive ESK-001 until the end of the study or discontinuation. All the remaining patients not meeting the entry criteria for the randomized withdrawal phase will continue to receive open-label ESK-001 for the remainder of the study. Patients taking part in the study must be men or women aged at least 18 years old and have completed a previous (parent) study of ESK-001 in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Patients must consent and agree to: * ensure drug daily compliance until end of study or discontinuation. * visit the clinic for checkups and assessments. * provide blood and urine samples.
