Higher dose offers new hope for psoriasis patients who stopped responding to standard therapy
NCT ID NCT01680159
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a higher dose (10 mg/kg every 8 weeks) of the drug TA-650 in 51 adults with psoriasis who had initially improved on the standard dose of Remicade but later lost that benefit. The goal was to see if the increased dose could again reduce skin symptoms. Participants were monitored for safety and how well their psoriasis cleared up.
