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

Summary

This study looked at 781 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and obesity). Researchers wanted to see if adding a lifestyle intervention (diet and exercise) to the drug Secukinumab (Cosentyx) improved skin symptoms and heart-related health more than the drug alone. The main goal was to measure how many people achieved at least 90% clearer skin after 28 weeks.
