New biosimilar aims to offer cheaper psoriasis treatment

NCT ID NCT07254325

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 1 study compares a new biosimilar drug, CMAB015, to the approved psoriasis treatment Cosentyx (secukinumab). The trial involves 114 healthy Chinese men who receive a single injection. Researchers will measure how the drug moves through the body, its safety, and whether the immune system reacts to it. This is an early step to see if the biosimilar is similar enough to Cosentyx to move into patient testing.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Secukinumab (biosimilar CMAB015)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more affordable version of Cosentyx for psoriasis, potentially lowering treatment costs.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only tests safety and drug levels, not whether it works for psoriasis. The biosimilar may not perform the same as the original drug.
