Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is there previous data on risankizumab's efficacy?

"The first study involving risankizumab was completed in 2011 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Since that time, there have been a total of 18386 studies (29 of which are ongoing). The majority of these studies take place in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania."

Answered by AI

When will risankizumab be available to patients in the United States?

"Risankizumab has received a score of 3 for safety. This is due to the fact that it is currently in Phase 3 trials, which suggests that not only does this medication show efficacy, but also that there is extensive data supporting its safety."

Answered by AI

For what purpose is risankizumab most often utilized?

"risankizumab is most often used to treat dental plaque, but it can also be used for psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, and skin disinfection therapy."

Answered by AI

Why did researchers design this experiment in this way?

"The primary outcome of this study, which will be measured over roughly Week 24, is the Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 24. Secondary outcomes include the Percentage of Participants With Resolution of Dactylitis at Week 24, Change From Baseline in PsA Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 24, and Change From Baseline In 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score at Week 24."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I tried to edit the note on the prior page to let you know that I live in Amarillo. And I'm certainly willing to go to the clinic if I can get some relief from psoradic arthritis. Please call me, afternoons are better and if possible, Text me, I don't always answer the phone with all the scammers out there. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.
