Can we predict psoriasis relapse after biologics? a new study digs into the clues.
NCT ID NCT07730619
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates why some people with plaque psoriasis experience a relapse after treatment with biologic drugs, while others do not. Researchers will compare patients who relapsed with those who did not, looking at factors like age, lifestyle, lab results, and treatment history. The goal is to identify warning signs and evaluate which follow-up treatments work best after a relapse.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- biologic agents (e.g., adalimumab) for plaque psoriasis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors predict which psoriasis patients are likely to relapse after biologic therapy and choose the best next treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or biologics.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed as plaque psoriasis. * Received biological therapy for more than six months. * Voluntarily participate in this study, with normal communication and understanding abilities. * Recurrent group: Patients with initial treatment effective (PGA or BSA improvement reduced by more than 75% from baseline), PGA ≥ 3 or BSA decreased by less than 50% from baseline after a period of time \[218\], and who were treated in the dermatology department of our hospital. * Control group: Treatment effective (PGA maintained at 0/1 or BSA improvement decreased by more than 75% from baseline), and no recurrence as mentioned in ④ occurred. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with other types of psoriasis. * Pregnant patients * Patients who refuse to cooperate with medical staff questionnaire surveys or refuse to provide auxiliary testing or examination materials.
