New biosimilar aims to rival cosentyx for psoriasis
NCT ID NCT06630559
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether CT-P55, a biosimilar of secukinumab, works as well as the approved drug Cosentyx for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. 153 adults with chronic psoriasis for at least 6 months are receiving either CT-P55 or Cosentyx injections. The main goal is to see how much their psoriasis improves 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
- CT-P55 (a biosimilar of secukinumab)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a more affordable treatment option for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a biosimilar, so it may not be as effective or safe as the original drug. The trial is relatively small (153 people) and results may not apply to everyone.
