Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18-65 with confirmed palmoplantar pustulosis who have failed or are intolerant of at least one conventional systemic agent and can comply with clinic follow-up are the ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or tuberculosis, pregnant patients or those planning pregnancy within six months, and those who respond well to standard treatments are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Researchers at Xijing Hospital will enroll 60 adults with clinically or histologically confirmed palmoplantar pustulosis in a prospective, single-arm, open-label protocol to receive picankibart. Eligible participants must have failed or been intolerant to at least one conventional systemic therapy, and those with active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tuberculosis, or pregnancy are excluded. Participants will receive picankibart according to the study protocol with scheduled dermatology follow-up visits to monitor skin response and safety. As a single-center, uncontrolled trial, the study is intended to provide safety data and preliminary signals of effectiveness rather than definitive comparative efficacy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If effective, picankibart could reduce pustules and improve hand and foot function and quality of life for people with refractory palmoplantar pustulosis.

How similar studies have gone: Some biologic therapies for psoriasis have shown benefit in pustular variants, but evidence specific to picankibart in palmoplantar pustulosis is limited, making this approach relatively novel.
