NCT ID NCT06100744
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called risankizumab in children with juvenile psoriatic arthritis, a condition causing joint pain and swelling. About 40 kids will receive either risankizumab or the standard drug adalimumab for 24 weeks, with responders continuing for up to 2 years. The goal is to see if risankizumab safely improves symptoms and reduces disease activity.
