New pill could help kids with severe psoriasis
NCT ID NCT04772079
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called deucravacitinib in children and teens aged 4 to 18 with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The trial will measure how the drug works in the body, how well it clears psoriasis, and its safety over up to 5 years. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Deucravacitinib (a pill that targets the immune system to reduce inflammation)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new oral treatment option for children and teens with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, potentially improving skin clearance and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is still an early-stage pediatric study (Phase 3) with a small number of participants (153). The drug may not work as well in children as in adults, and long-term safety, including effects on growth and development, is still being studied.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
