Could HIV drugs clear psoriasis? tiny trial hints at new approach
NCT ID NCT04274595
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This study tested whether drugs that block reverse transcriptase (an enzyme) could help treat psoriasis. The idea was that these drugs might reduce inflammation caused by extra DNA inside skin cells. Only 8 people with plaque psoriasis took part, and the main goal was to see changes in skin biopsies, not to measure symptom relief directly. Because it was a very small, early-stage study, results are limited and more research is needed.
