  • Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Autoimmune Disorders and Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Cancer

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

  • Longitudinal Observational Study of Patients Undergoing Therapy for IMISC

    open to all eligible people

    TARGET-DERM is a longitudinal, observational study of adult and pediatric patients being managed for Atopic Dermatitis and other Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions (IMISC) in usual clinical practice. TARGET-DERM will create a research registry of patients with IMISC within academic and community real-world practices in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of current and future therapies.

  • Dermatologic Research Evaluation and Monitoring of Sleep in Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Getting enough sleep is important for maximizing health and well-being. When it comes to health, sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet. Not getting enough sleep can lead to health problems like heart attacks, diabetes, and even cancer. Since individuals with psoriasis have these same health problems, getting better sleep may help to keep them happier and healthier. This study will look at how individuals with psoriasis sleep and if their sleep is different than indivuduals without psoriasis.

  • OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Project

    open to eligible females

    The purpose of the OTIS Autoimmune Diseases in Pregnancy Study is to monitor planned and unplanned pregnancies exposed to certain medications, to evaluate the possible teratogenic effect of these medications and to follow live born infants for five years after birth. With respect to fetal outcome, it is important to evaluate the spectrum of outcomes that may be relevant to a medication exposure during pregnancy, and these include both easily recognizable defects which are visible at birth, as well as more subtle or delayed defects that may not be readily identifiable without special expertise and observation beyond the newborn period.

  • Subcutaneous Risankizumab Injection for Pediatric Participants With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis to Assess Change in Disease Symptoms

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease in which skin cells build up and develop thick, red and white scaly patches on the skin. There is an unmet medical need for effective treatment in pediatric patients and this study is being done to evaluate risankizumab in pediatric participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study will assess the change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is a drug being studied for the treatment for plaque psoriasis in pediatric participants. This study has 4 parts. Part 1: Participants aged 12 < 18 will receive a fixed dose of risankizumab. Part 2: Participants aged 12 < 18 will receive; - Period A: Risankizumab or ustekinumab based on body weight followed by; - Period B: Risankizumab or no treatment. - Period C: Re-treatment with risankizumab (if needed). Part 3: Participants aged 6 < 12 will receive risankizumab based on body weight. Part 4: Participants aged 6 < 12 will receive risankizumab based on body weight (Japan only: Participants aged 12 > 18 will receive risankizumab based on body weight). Around 132 participants will be enrolled in approximately 50 sites worldwide. Risankizumab and ustekinumab are given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Parts 1, 3, and 4: Risankizumab for 40 weeks with a follow-up call 20 weeks later for a study duration of approximately 65 weeks. Part 2: - Period A: Risankizumab or ustekinumab for 16 weeks. - Period B: Risankizumab or no treatment for 36 weeks. - Period C: Re-treatment with risankizumab for 16 weeks. Follow-up call 20 weeks later for a study duration of approximately 81 weeks. Participants from each Part who meet eligibility criteria for an open-label extension (OLE) study may continue on risankizumab for 216 additional weeks. There may be a higher burden for study participants compared to standard treatment. Participants will attend monthly visits and medical assessments will check the effect of treatment through blood tests, questionnaires, and checking for side effects.

  • Correction of Psoriatic T Cell Signatures by Deucravacitinib

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

  • Risankizumab Long-term Remission Study

    Sorry, not currently recruiting here

    Although the newly developed biologics (drugs derived from living cells cultured in a laboratory) are highly effective in controlling psoriasis, all the biologics should be continuously injected to suppress recurrence of the disease. In this regard, the observation in the phase II clinical trial conducted by us (Laboratory for Investigative Dermatology at the Rockefeller University) was groundbreaking that just a single dose of anti-IL-23p19 antibody (risankizumab, trade name: Skyrizi, study drug in this clinical trial) administration produced disease clearance up to 66 weeks in 46% (6 of 13) of patients. However, there is a lack of understanding about immune regulation in human skin induced by anti-IL-23p19 antibody injection, and there is a need to conduct a psoriasis clinical trial for single-cell sequencing immune cells in human psoriasis skin before and after anti-IL-23p19 antibody administration, and to correlate regulatory immune cell alterations with clinical disease progression. The overall objective of the clinical trial is to study regulatory immune cell alterations induced by anti-IL-23p19 antibody administration in psoriasis patients who achieve long-term disease clearance off drugs.
