Summary

This trial will study the effectiveness of secukinumab, an FDA-approved drug, in treating nail psoriasis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-85 with active skin psoriasis or a history of it, and significant nail psoriasis. It's not open to those with fungal nail infections, inflammatory bowel disease, metal implants affecting MRI use, current infections, or past IL-17 inhibitor treatments.
What is being tested?
The study tests Secukinumab (an FDA-approved psoriasis medication) specifically on nail psoriasis. Participants will self-administer the drug using an auto-injector and researchers will monitor how quickly and effectively the treatment works.
What are the potential side effects?
Secukinumab may cause side effects like cold symptoms, diarrhea, upper respiratory infections, hives at injection site. Since it affects the immune system, there might be an increased risk of other infections.
