Kids with IBD and psoriasis may benefit from switching to ustekinumab
NCT ID NCT07529236
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 40 children with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who developed severe psoriasis from anti-TNF drugs and switched to ustekinumab. Researchers will check if their digestive symptoms stay controlled and if their skin improves after 3-6 months. The goal is to see if this switch is a good option for managing both conditions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ustekinumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that switching to ustekinumab is a safe and effective way to manage both IBD and treatment-related psoriasis in children.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 40 children, so results may not apply to everyone. It also does not compare ustekinumab to other treatments.
