Summary

This study tests whether the drug deucravacitinib can safely and effectively treat pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP), a rare skin disease that causes red, scaly patches. About 12 adults with moderate to severe PRP will take the drug for 24 weeks. Researchers will measure changes in skin severity, itching, and quality of life, and look for biological markers that might predict who responds best.
