Summary

This trial aims to enroll 336 adults with moderate chronic plaque psoriasis to study two different treatments. The participants will receive either a subcutaneous injection of risankizumab every 12 weeks

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with moderate chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months, who haven't tried biologic treatments. They should have a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of ≥12, Body Surface Area (BSA) affected by psoriasis between 10% to 15%, and a moderate rating on the Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA). It's not suitable for those well-managed by topicals or other therapies.
What is being tested?
The study compares Risankizumab, given as an injection every 12 weeks, against Deucravacitinib taken orally daily in patients with plaque psoriasis. This Phase 4 trial is open-label and assesses the safety and effectiveness of these approved treatments through regular medical assessments.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not listed in the provided information but may include typical reactions associated with immunomodulatory drugs such as infections, injection site reactions for Risankizumab, or gastrointestinal issues for oral medications like Deucravacitinib.
