New shot could clear teen psoriasis – trial underway
NCT ID NCT07265284
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a drug called picankibart in teenagers aged 12 to 18 with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Half get the drug, half get a placebo, and researchers check if their skin clears up after 16 weeks. The goal is to see if it's safe and works better than a dummy treatment.
