Summary
This early-stage study tested the safety of an experimental drug called Allocetra, injected directly into the joint, for people with psoriatic arthritis. Only 5 participants were enrolled. The main goal was to check for side effects, with some initial data on pain relief. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
