Today we’re supporting #RareDiseaseDay 💜 This year’s theme, Equity for Rare, calls for fair and equitable care for everyone — no matter how rare their condition. While psoriasis isn’t rare, some forms are, including GPP and Erythrodermic Psoriasis. We’ve just launched our Erythrodermic Psoriasis Information Sheet to help raise awareness. ow.ly/QOVQ50YkU0j

We are looking for adults with palmoplantar pustulosis, diagnosed by a dermatologist, to take part in the JAKPPPOT trial. During the trial, participants will take a tablet once-a-day for 8 weeks. This tablet will be a janus kinase inhibitor, a new group of drugs that suppresses the immune system. The drug is called upadacitinib (its brand name is ‘Rinvoq’). Participants will attend our clinic at Guy’s and St Thomas’s NHS Trust, London Bridge, regularly during the 8-week trial, and we will take blood samples at each visit. We will also invite participants to take part in a voluntary interview before and after the 8 weeks of treatment to understand their thoughts on the tablet and the trial more generally. We have reached 75% of our recruitment target so far, and are very keen to fill the last few spaces as soon as possible! Up to £50 travel expenses can be reimbursed per study visit. Participants will need to be over the age of 18, and cannot be pregnant or breast-feeding. Participants will need to stop all UV light related treatment or systemic treatment (medications taken by mouth or injected) that they are currently taking, but they can continue using certain topical treatments (creams/ointments). Please contact Dr David Gleeson at [email protected] to find out more. #pustularpsoriasis #psoriasisresearch #skinhealth #dermatologyresearch
