New pill could help psoriasis on scalp, genitals, and palms
NCT ID NCT06095102
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This phase 3 study tests an oral drug called JNJ-77242113 in 311 adults with plaque psoriasis affecting special areas like the scalp, genitals, or palms and soles. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo for 16 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug clears or nearly clears the skin in these sensitive spots. It is not a cure, but if successful, it could provide a new treatment option for people with stubborn psoriasis in these areas.

- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but results are not yet published. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are possible. It is not a cure—psoriasis may return after stopping treatment.
