Psoriasis clinical trials at UCSF

8 in progress, 5 open to eligible people

Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches. UCSF is studying how a new drug, Deucravacitinib, affects immune cells in the skin and blood. Another study looks at how sleep affects people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. UCSF is also researching how the drug Guselkumab impacts immune cells in scalp psoriasis.

Showing trials for
  • Correction of Psoriatic T Cell Signatures by Deucravacitinib

    open to eligible people ages 18-75

    This study aims to assess cutaneous and blood immune cell function of patients with psoriasis before and after initiation of treatment with the Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) blocker, deucravacitinib.

  • Guselkumab Immunogenetics

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This is a two-arm open-label study to evaluate the clinical and immunogenetic responses of patients with plaque or guttate psoriasis to treatment with guselkumab.

  • Immune Spatial Features of Guselkumab Cutaneous Response

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This study examines the effect of IL-23 blockade with Guselkumab on the immune cells of scalp psoriasis lesions.

  • Psoriatic Immune Response to Tildrakizumab

    open to eligible people ages 18-75

    This study aims to assess cutaneous and blood immune cell function of patients with psoriasis before and after initiation of treatment with the IL23 blocker, tildrakizumab.

  • Dermatologic Research Evaluation and Monitoring of Sleep in Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Getting enough sleep is important for maximizing health and well-being. When it comes to health, sleep is as vital as regular exercise and eating a balanced diet. Not getting enough sleep can lead to health problems like heart attacks, diabetes, and even cancer. Since individuals with psoriasis have these same health problems, getting better sleep may help to keep them happier and healthier. This study will look at how individuals with psoriasis sleep and if their sleep is different than indivuduals without psoriasis.

  • JNJ-77242113 for the Treatment of Participants With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis (ICONIC-ADVANCE 2)

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of the study is to evaluate how effective JNJ-77242113 is in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis compared to placebo and deucravacitinib.

  • Immunogenetic Profiling of Goeckerman Therapy in the Treatment of Psoriasis Vulgaris

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    This study examines the effect of Goeckerman therapy (a combination of phototherapy and topical crude coal tar), crude coal tar alone, and phototherapy alone on the immunologic and genetic environment within psoriatic skin lesions.

  • Guselkumab in Skin of Color Participants With Moderate-to-severe Plaque and/or Scalp Psoriasis

    Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of guselkumab treatment versus placebo in skin of color participants with predominant moderate-to-severe body psoriasis or predominant moderate-to-severe scalp psoriasis by assessing improvements in the signs and symptoms of psoriasis.
