CorEvitas Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Registry
The National Psoriasis Foundation is supporting a CorEvitas independent clinical registry in generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), with the PPD™ clinical research business of Thermo Fisher Scientific. The GPP registry is collecting real-world patient data over time. The registry addresses an unmet need for clinical and patient-reported outcomes for patients living with GPP.
What is GPP?
With generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), pustules often cover large areas of the body and typically present with fever, shivers, intense itching, a rapid pulse, fatigue, headache, nausea, muscle weakness, and joint pain. GPP is a rare disease that affects approximately one of every 10,000 people in the United States. Untreated flares can be accompanied by severe complications that, if left untreated, can be life-threatening.
Who can participate?
The registry is enrolling patients with a diagnosis of GPP, who are at least 18 years of age, and are willing to provide a limited set of health data. Individuals do not need to be on any specific treatment or be actively flaring to be enrolled. Because of the rarity of the disease, each person is critically important to the registry.
What information is collected?
Dermatology providers will collect data during each routine clinic visit or when patients have a flare. Clinician-reported outcomes include clinical assessments for GPP, lab measures, and treatment history. Patient-reported outcomes assess symptom impact and quality of life. Drug safety data will be collected, including serious adverse events and other events of special interest.
What is the impact?
The GPP registry will help create new information and knowledge about GPP, including data to improve understanding of the disease, treatment patterns and effectiveness, and the safety and efficacy of new treatments coming to market.
