Role of Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Psoriasis

• Status: Recruiting
• Trial end date: 2022-12-15
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that the inhibition of endogenous reverse transcriptase would:

(1) reduce excess cytosolic DNA, stress initiating the inflammatory loop at the origin of psoriatic lesions, and (2) interrupt the loop and lighten lesions

• Phase: N/A
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
• Treatments: Anti-Retroviral Agents; Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
