Psoriasis drug may be safe for patients with fatty liver
NCT ID NCT07683065
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at how long adults with plaque psoriasis and a common liver condition called MASLD (fatty liver disease) continue taking the drug secukinumab. Researchers will review medical records from several Spanish hospitals to track treatment duration and changes in liver health. The goal is to understand if secukinumab is a good long-term option for this group of patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- secukinumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that secukinumab is a safe and effective long-term option for people with psoriasis who also have fatty liver disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective study, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by how doctors chose treatments.
