Identification of Cutaneous and Blood Biomarkers Predictive of Response to Systemic Treatments During Chronic Inflammatory Skin Diseases (ImmuneSkinBank)

Identification Des Marqueurs Biologiques cutanés et Sanguins prédictifs de réponse Aux Traitements systémiques au Cours Des Maladies cutanées Inflammatoires Chroniques

Chronic inflammatory skin diseases constitute a heterogeneous group of pathologies. They affect the skin but also other organs (joints, lungs, muscles, etc.). Their prognosis and response to treatments is extremely variable. The discovery of prognosis factors will help to precisely guide the treatment regimen and its intensification based on individual markers. The identification of new therapeutic targets is essential to develop new innovative treatments for inflammatory skin diseases.

The main objective is to identify new cellular or molecular prognostic factors associated with treatment response at 1 year in inflammatory skin diseases.

The secondary objectives are a better understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, the identification of new cellular, molecular and microbiological prognostic factors associated with the clinical state after 10 years of evolution and the identification of prognostic markers of drug toxicity.

Quality of life measurement	The EPICES score (Evaluation of Deprivation and Inequalities in Health Examination Centers) is an individual measure of social deprivation. The score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates no deprivation and 100 indicates the highest level of deprivation. Higher EPICES scores reflect greater social deprivation and vulnerability. The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a dermatology-specific questionnaire used to assess the impact of skin disease on a patient's quality of life. The total score ranges from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating greater impairment in quality of life. The SF-36 v1 is a generic health-related quality-of-life questionnaire that assesses eight domains of physical and mental health. Scores range from 0 to 100 for each domain, with higher scores indicating better health status and quality of life.	At inclusion
