Summary

This trial looks at how psoriasis patients' skin & blood cell health is affected by a new drug.

Who is the study for?
Adults with moderate to severe psoriasis (covering at least 10% of their body, with a severity score of 12 or more) can join this trial. They shouldn't have tuberculosis, serious infections, be pregnant or breastfeeding, have used immunosuppressives recently, suffer from severe immune system problems, or any condition that might risk safety or data quality.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing deucravacitinib's effect on skin and blood immune cells in psoriasis patients. It involves taking the TYK2 inhibitor deucravacitinib and monitoring how it changes the function of these cells before and after treatment starts.
What are the potential side effects?
Deucravacitinib may cause side effects such as increased risk of infections due to its action on the immune system. Specific side effects are not listed but generally relate to its role in altering immune cell functions.
