Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that causes red, scaly skin. The most common form of
psoriasis is plaque psoriasis, in which raised patches of skin appear that are red at the base and
covered by silvery scales.
Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic skin diseases and is found in between 1-3% of the
general population. It is caused by genes, meaning it can run in families, but some outside factors
can make it worse or trigger flares, such as infections, stress, or certain medicines. People with
psoriasis can have symptoms like itching, cracking, and bleeding that can disrupt their everyday
life.
The purpose of this study is to see if the study medication is effective for treating plaque
psoriasis, and to see how safe it is. It is important that we conduct research like this that seeks to
find more effective medications for people who have plaque psoriasis. Participation in clinical
studies is one of the best ways to advance new knowledge and contribute to the development of
new vaccines and treatments, which is why we hope you will provide us with your contact
information. We will promptly reach out to you to provide you with more information about the
study. You can decide if joining the study is right for you.

Doctors and scientists are constantly finding new drugs that may help prevent, detect, diagnose, control, and treat illnesses. A clinical trial or research study is a scientific study that tests these new discoveries. Research studies depend upon the participation of volunteers.
There is no guarantee that subjects will receive any benefit from being in the study. This research study may yield new information that could benefit people living with plaque psoriasis in the future by helping to answer questions about the effectiveness and safety of the study drug.
Participation in a research study is completely voluntary. In all research studies, qualified potential participants are first told about the research study in detail. After receiving this information, all participants must give their consent in writing to proceed. Some research studies involve more tests and doctor visits than the participant would normally have for an illness or condition.
Health Insurance is NOT required to participate.
There are no charges for you for to participate in this medical research study. You will not be
charged for the study drug, study-related procedures and tests, or study visits.
Before joining a research study, volunteers must meet specific requirements. These requirements are based on various factors. These can include your age, medical history, current health status, current medications, and drug allergies. The list of things that must be satisfied before a person can participate in a research study are called Inclusion Criteria. The list of things that will stop a person from participating in a research study are called Exclusion Criteria. The Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria were developed to help make the results of the study accurate. They were also developed for the safety of all participants. We will not know whether you satisfy all study requirements until we speak with you and, if needed, complete a screening assessment at our facilities.
At the Dermatology Clinical Research Center of San Antonio, our research team is committed to the advancement of clinical practice and to the improvement of patient care. We strive to ensure that our study volunteers have a positive experience while participating in clinical research studies.
