Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This study is being conducted to evaluate the reliability of digital photography for the remote assessment of psoriasis disease severity using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) compared to in-person evaluations. Approximately 30 adult subjects will undergo in-person assessments of the severity of the disease and have digital photographs taken for comparative remote evaluations.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Male and female subjects with at least 0.5% their total BSA affected by plaque psoriasis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male and female subjects aged 18 to 75 years, inclusive, at the time of consent.
  2. Subject has at least a 6-month history of plaque psoriasis prior to screening visit (information obtained from medical chart or subject's physician, or directly from the subject).
  3. Subject has plaque psoriasis covering at least 0.5% his/her total BSA at screening/Day 1 visit.
  4. Subject has a PGA score ≥2 at screening/Day 1 visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subject has a history of skin disease or presence of skin condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study assessments.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Cohort 1: ≥0.5 to <5% BSA affected
Approximately 10 subjects with psoriatic plaques covering at least 0.5% but less than 5% of their body surface area
Other: In-Person and Remote Disease Assessment
Disease severity will be assessed during the in-person visit and standardized digital photographs of different body regions and/or the full body will be collected for remote evaluations by external dermatologists.
Cohort 2: ≥5 to <10% BSA affected
Approximately 10 subjects with psoriatic plaques covering at least 5% but less than 10% of their body surface area
Other: In-Person and Remote Disease Assessment
Disease severity will be assessed during the in-person visit and standardized digital photographs of different body regions and/or the full body will be collected for remote evaluations by external dermatologists.
Cohort 3: ≥10% BSA affected
Approximately 10 subjects with psoriatic plaques covering at least 10% of their body surface area
Other: In-Person and Remote Disease Assessment
Disease severity will be assessed during the in-person visit and standardized digital photographs of different body regions and/or the full body will be collected for remote evaluations by external dermatologists.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) assessed in-person and using digital photographs, all cohorts combined.
Time Frame: Day 1
The PASI is a composite score ranging from 0 to 72 that takes into account the degree of erythema, induration/infiltration, and desquamation (each scored from 0 to 4 separately) for each of 4 body regions, with adjustments for the percentage of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body.
Day 1

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) assessed in-person and using digital photographs, all cohorts combined and by cohort.
Time Frame: Day 1
The PGA is a global assessment of the current state of the disease. It is a 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity.
Day 1
Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between Body Surface Area (BSA) assessed in-person and using digital photographs, all cohorts combined and by cohort.
Time Frame: Day 1
The %BSA affected by psoriasis will be evaluated from 1 to 100%.
Day 1
Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) between PASI assessed in-person and using digital photographs, by cohort.
Time Frame: Day 1
Day 1
Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of PASI scores assessed using digital photographs by the same assessor.
Time Frame: Day 1
This outcome measure will assess the variation in PASI scores when evaluated multiple times by the same assessor using digital photographs (intra-rater variability).
Day 1
Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) of PASI scores assessed using digital photographs by 2 assessors.
Time Frame: Day 1
This outcome measure will assess agreement between assessors using digital photographs (inter-rater variability).
