Palmoplantar pustulosis

This study looked at whether the HPV vaccine works in girls aged 9 to 17 who are taking medicines that weaken their immune system, such as after an organ transplant or for diseases like lupus. The goal was to see if their bodies produce enough antibodies to protect against HPV. T…

This study tested whether analyzing a patient's DNA and RNA could help doctors pick the right drug for inflammatory diseases that don't fit standard categories. 32 adults with at least two affected organs (including skin) received one of six targeted therapies based on their mole…

This study tested four different doses of an experimental drug (BI 655130) against a placebo in 152 adults with moderate to severe palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), a skin condition causing painful pus-filled blisters on the palms and soles. The main goal was to see which dose best …

This study tested a drug called spesolimab in 59 people with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), a painful skin condition causing pustules and plaques on the palms and soles. Participants received either low or high doses of spesolimab or a placebo for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if…

This phase 2 trial tested a monthly injection called imsidolimab (ANB019) in 59 adults with palmoplantar pustulosis, a chronic skin condition causing painful, pus-filled blisters on the palms and soles. The study compared the drug to a placebo to see if it could reduce the severi…

This study looked at how well a new, quick finger-prick test (LumiraDx CRP) measures CRP levels compared to a standard lab test. CRP is a marker of infection, inflammation, or tissue injury. 79 adults with symptoms of these conditions took part. The goal was to see if the new tes…

This early study tested a new radioactive tracer called 18F-FDS in 16 people with suspected bacterial or fungal infections. The tracer is designed to light up infection sites on PET/CT scans, helping doctors see exactly where an infection is. The goal was to check how the tracer …

This completed study looked at how the social networks of caregivers affect their stress and health when caring for someone with an inherited disease. Researchers surveyed over 680 participants, including family members and formal caregivers, to understand caregiving burden and s…

This study tested whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool could help doctors diagnose rare and tricky skin conditions like generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). Fifteen doctors, including both general practitioners and dermatologists, looked at 100 skin images. They first ga…

This completed registry study in Japan looked at how doctors treat palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), a skin condition causing pus-filled blisters on hands and feet. Researchers collected data from 276 patients' medical records and clinic visits to understand which treatments are use…

This study tested an artificial intelligence algorithm designed to help primary care doctors decide whether a patient with a skin condition really needs to see a dermatologist. Researchers enrolled 200 adults with skin problems and had their doctors take photos of the affected ar…

This study collected blood, saliva, stool, urine, and skin samples from 19 people with unknown or poorly understood immune system problems. The goal was to learn how different parts of the immune system work together. No treatments or drugs were tested. Participants were followed…
