Effectiveness

How Ultravate Affects Patients

Corticosteroids like ulobetasol reduce inflammation and are usually applied once or twice a day. Depending on the individual, they may need to take a higher dose than the body naturally produces. It's important to be aware that taking corticosteroids can suppress the body's natural hormone system and make it easier to get infections.

How Ultravate works in the body

Corticosteroids reduce inflammation in the body by blocking certain molecules from forming. This stops the body's immune response, which helps to reduce swelling, pain, and other signs of inflammation. Small amounts of corticosteroids help with inflammation, while larger doses can help suppress the immune system. Over time, corticosteroids can also change the levels of certain chemicals in the body, like sodium and potassium.

The advised measure of Ultravate is subject to the diagnosed condition, including Pruritus, corticosteroid responsive, Inflammatory Dermatosis and Plaque Psoriasis.

Unfortunately, this ointment caused some adverse effects on my skin. The areas where I applied it became tender and the skin started to separate. Not a good look or feeling.

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.
