Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, Skyrizi, to see if it produces long-term disease clearance in psoriasis patients.

Who is the study for?
Adults with plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months, a PASI score over 12, and more than 10% body surface area affected. Participants must not use other psoriasis treatments or live vaccines during the trial and cannot be pregnant.
What is being tested?
The study tests Risankizumab's ability to maintain long-term remission in psoriasis patients. It involves comparing skin biopsies before and after treatment to understand immune changes correlating with disease progression.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects of Risankizumab may include reactions at the injection site, increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression, headaches, fatigue, and possible gastrointestinal issues.
