Higher psoriasis drug doses show promise in small trial
NCT ID NCT05283135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested higher-than-standard doses of risankizumab in 20 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The goal was to see if higher doses could better reduce certain skin immune cells (resident memory T cells) and improve skin clearance. The study was completed and focused on measuring these cells and skin clearing over 52 weeks.
