New combo therapy targets both joint pain and obesity in PsA patients
NCT ID NCT06588296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a weight-loss drug (tirzepatide) to a standard arthritis drug (ixekizumab) helps people with psoriatic arthritis who are overweight or obese. 279 adults with active psoriatic arthritis and a BMI of 27 or higher took part. The goal was to see if the combination improved joint symptoms and led to at least 10% weight loss better than the arthritis drug alone.
