Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| After finalization of the validation study, the transplanted biopsies are isolated to study the psoriatic process via histological techniques. The primary read-out is epidermal thickness. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| After finalization of the validation study, the transplanted biopsies are isolated to study the psoriatic process via histological techniques. The secundary read-out is proliferation and differentiation of cells in the skin. Also, serum is collected on day 21, in which e.g. cytokine measurements can be performed to evaluate the systemic immune reaction. Moreover, the activation and differentiation status of immune cells will be determined in the blood of the donors. | — |
