JNJ-77242113 for Plaque Psoriasis
(ICONIC-LEAD Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a new medication called JNJ-77242113 to see if it helps people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Plaque psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches. The study aims to find out if this new treatment can improve symptoms for those who have not responded well to other treatments.
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if your psoriasis is drug-induced, you may not be eligible to participate.
Is JNJ-77242113 safe for treating plaque psoriasis?
Research on similar treatments, called JAK inhibitors, shows they generally have a safety profile similar to a placebo (a harmless pill used in studies for comparison). However, some specific JAK inhibitors like deucravacitinib at certain doses had more side effects, while others like tofacitinib were found to be safer.12345
