Cheaper psoriasis drug on the horizon? new biosimilar enters human trials
NCT ID NCT07258745
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 1 trial tests a new biosimilar called CKD-704, which is designed to be a more affordable copy of the psoriasis drug Skyrizi (risankizumab). The study involves 213 healthy adults who will receive a single dose of either CKD-704, the EU-approved Skyrizi, or the US-licensed Skyrizi. Researchers will compare how the body processes each drug and check for any safety issues.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CKD-704 (a biosimilar of risankizumab, the active ingredient in Skyrizi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more affordable treatment option for psoriasis and other inflammatory conditions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only tests short-term safety and drug levels, not whether the biosimilar actually works for psoriasis. Biosimilars can sometimes differ in effectiveness or side effects.
