Costa rica launches registry to see how new psoriasis drugs work in real life
NCT ID NCT07448402
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational registry will follow 50 patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis who are receiving IL-23 inhibitors (guselkumab or risankizumab) as part of their routine care in Costa Rica. Researchers will track how well the drugs improve skin and joint symptoms and quality of life, as well as any side effects. The goal is to understand how these treatments perform in everyday practice, not just in controlled studies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- IL-23 inhibitors (guselkumab and risankizumab)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide real-world evidence on how well IL-23 inhibitors work and how safe they are for psoriatic disease patients in Costa Rica.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be influenced by factors like patient selection or missing data. It is also small (50 participants) and limited to one country.
