AbbVie Clinic, Thousand Oaks + 4 more
Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic disease characterized by marked inflammation of the skin that results in thick, red, scaly plaques. This study will assess how safe and effective risankizumab is in adult participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis or moderate to severe scalp psoriasis. Adverse events and change in disease signs and symptoms will be monitored. Risankizumab (Skyrizi) is a drug being studied for the treatment of moderate to severe genital psoriasis or moderate to severe scalp psoriasis. Approximately 200 participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis or moderate to severe scalp psoriasis will be enrolled across approximately 45 sites globally. The study will be broken up into 2 sub-studies by disease location, participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis (Study G) and moderate to severe scalp psoriasis (Study S). In both sub-studies participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of risankizumab during the 52 week treatment period, or SC injections of placebo risankizumab during the 16 week treatment period followed by SC injections of risankizumab during the 36 week treatment period, with an 8-week follow-up period after the 52 week treatment period. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.Show More

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do psoriasis clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range. Further, most trials will cover the costs of an Uber to-and-from the clinic. Factors that can affect compensation include the phase of the trial, the length of the trial, the frequency of visits, and the specific condition being studied.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on Cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
How do psoriasis clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll typical be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and will receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across psoriasis trials in Los Angeles, 42% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or two. The average trial length in this city for psoriasis patients is 6 Months.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in getting approval for a specific condition. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where effectiveness has typically only been shown in animals and non-human experiments. Phase 1 trials are the trials where we don't have safety data in humans. As a general rule, phase 3 trials are more promising than phase 2, and phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
