Psoriasis drug bimekizumab shows promise in Long-Term safety trial
NCT ID NCT03598790
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at the long-term safety and tolerability of bimekizumab in over 1,300 adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Participants who completed earlier studies received bimekizumab injections over several years. The main goal was to track side effects and see how well the drug worked over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bimekizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm bimekizumab as a safe, long-term treatment option for controlling moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
- What could go wrong
- This is an open-label extension study, so there is no placebo group for comparison. Long-term safety data may still reveal rare side effects not seen in shorter trials.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
