NCT ID NCT06323356

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests the drug TAK-279 in 18 adults with generalized pustular psoriasis or erythrodermic psoriasis, two rare and severe forms of the disease. All participants receive the drug for up to 52 weeks to see if it clears skin symptoms and is safe. The study is open-label, meaning everyone knows they are getting the active treatment.
