Comparison of PSORI-CM01 Formula vs Gu Ben Hua Yu Formula Combined With AD-MSCs in Psoriasis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of PSORI-CM01 formula vs Gu Ben Hua Yu formula combined with Expanded Allogeneic AD-MSCs in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. And it explores the expectations of patients for the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined with stem cells and their expectations to participate in this study. The trial would provide preliminary data for large sample clinical randomized controlled trials.

Detailed Description
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, genetic disease manifesting in the skin or joints or both. Treatment modalities are chosen on the basis of disease severity, relevant comorbidities, patient preference. For moderate to severe psoriasis, phototherapy, systemic therapy and biologic immune modifying agents are recommended, but all of them have some drawbacks or limitations. Until now, no curative treatment is available. Therefore, it is important to find new treatment for psoriasis.
As current experience and cases of AD-MSCs in the treatment of psoriasis are still relatively small, and it is unknown about their safety and efficacy combined with traditional medicine in the treatment of psoriasis.
This study designed a randomized controlled trial to compare PSORI-CM01 formula vs Guben Huayu formula combined with expanded allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of psoriasis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the safety and efficacy of PSORI-CM01 formula vs Gu Ben Hua Yu formula combined with Expanded Allogeneic AD-MSCs in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. And it also aims to determine the feasibility and the potential of the protocol for the full-scale randomized controlled trial (RCT).
Therefore, 16 subjects will be enrolled in this study and their expectations for the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine combined with stem cells and their experience to participate in this study will be interviewed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- PASI score improvement rate [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
PASI score improvement rate = (PASI score before intervention - PASI score after intervention)/PASI score before intervention ×100% PASI scores the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of the lesions (0-4 scale), weighted by the area of involvement. PASI scores range from 0 to 72. The higher the score, the worse the disease.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
The improvement in PASI score from baseline after treatment. PASI scores the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of the lesions (0-4 scale), weighted by the area of involvement. PASI scores range from 0 to 72. The higher the score, the worse the disease.
- Relapse rate in treatment period / follow-up period [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
Relapse can be defined only for patients who achieve PASI-50，and occurs when the improvement in the PASI score falls below 50 percent from the baseline PASI score.
- PASI-50 [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
The proportion of patients who achieve at least 50 percent improvement in PASI score from baseline.
- PASI-75 [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
The proportion of patients who achieve at least 75 percent improvement in PASI score from baseline.
- Pruritus Scores on the Visual Analogue Scale [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
Pruritus was assessed using the Visual Analogue Scales; The Scale scores ranged from 0-10. The higer the scores were, the more itching the patient suffered.
- BSA [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
the Body Surface Area
- DLQI (Dermatology Life Quality Index) [12 weeks (plus or minus 3 days) after treatment.]
the score of Dermatology Life Quality Index. Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a self-administered 10-item questionnaire. It covers Symptoms and feelings, Daily activities, Leisure, Work and school, Personal relationships, and Treatment. The higher the score, the worse the quality of life.
