New combo therapy targets both psoriasis and obesity in major trial
NCT ID NCT06588283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a weight-loss drug (tirzepatide) to a standard psoriasis treatment (ixekizumab) helps people with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are also overweight or obese. About 250 adults will receive either ixekizumab alone or both drugs together for up to 61 weeks. The goal is to see if the combination leads to clearer skin and significant weight reduction.
