Understanding how anti-IL-23 therapies work in psoriasis patients

Official title: Exploration of the Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms in Patients Receiving Biotherapies Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 Axis in Cutaneous Psoriasis

Run by Institut Pasteur · NCT05111210 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to understand how a new psoriasis treatment works by looking at blood and skin samples from patients before and after they start the therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults over 18 with cutaneous psoriasis who require systemic biological treatment and are naïve to biological therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are minors, pregnant, breastfeeding, immunocompromised, or unable to comply with study requirements will not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the response to anti-IL-23 biologics in patients with cutaneous psoriasis. It will involve two groups of patients: one group will be assessed before starting therapy, while the other will be evaluated both before and after treatment. The study will analyze gene expression and immune responses in blood samples and skin biopsies to better understand the IL-23/IL-17 axis's role in psoriasis. The findings could help identify why some patients do not respond to these therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for psoriasis patients by enhancing understanding of therapy responses.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies exploring the IL-23/IL-17 axis have shown promise, indicating that this approach may yield valuable insights.
