Summary

This study aimed to test a new LED light device for treating mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. Participants would have treated one plaque at home with the device for 15 minutes daily, five days a week for 12 weeks, while leaving another plaque untreated for comparison. However, the trial was withdrawn before enrolling any volunteers, so no results are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LED light device (460nm, 633nm, 830nm)
What this could lead to
If it had worked, this could point toward a convenient at-home light therapy for easing psoriasis plaques.
What could go wrong
The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available. It is unclear if the device would have been effective or safe.

Plaques comparable in terms of size, duration and severity and where possible on comparable body areas according to the localized psoriasis severity index (LPSI). Fitzpatrick, I-V photo type skin types. Written informed consent is given. Volunteers agree NOT to use any over the counter or prescriptive psoriasis treatments during the study period unless specifically advised by the research staff. Exclusion Criteria: Volunteers who suffer from Erythrodermic, exfoliative or pustular psoriasis. Volunteers who suffer from a systemic photosensitive disorder such as Lupus erythematosus, photosensitive eczema or Albinism. Volunteers who suffer from genetic deficiencies that increase susceptibility to dermatologic cancer such as Xeroderma pigmentosum. Volunteers who suffer from diffuse actinic damage of the skin. Volunteers who suffer from localised fungal or bacterial skin infections in or around the treatment area. Volunteers currently taking (or a history of taking) medication listed in Photosensitive drug list in instructions for use. Subjects who have any known allergies to the ingredients in the emollient used in the study. Volunteers with known malignancy and or undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy or high doses of corticosteroids. Volunteer suffers from keloid scars, or birthmarks in the treatment area. Females who are pregnant, breastfeeding or who wish to become pregnant during the study period. Enrolled in another clinical trial during the same study period. The volunteer has a planned hospital admission and/or surgical procedure for an illness or disease which existed before enrolment into the clinical trial and which may interfere with the course or outcome of the study. The volunteer has a medical or psychological condition(s) associated with a risk of poor protocol compliance (e.g. alcoholism or drug abuse).
