What this trial means for you
This study is active, not recruiting — it is not currently taking new participants, but its results may matter for treatments you're considering. It's studying Ixekizumab, Tirzepatide for psoriasis, obesity.
What participants typically get: study medication (or placebo, if the trial uses one) and study-related medical care at no cost, plus close monitoring. Compensation for time and travel varies by study — ask the site. Note that in many trials you can't choose your treatment group, and some participants receive a placebo.
The study, in the sponsor's words
The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate that when participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and obesity or overweight in the presence of at least 1 weight-related comorbid condition receive ixekizumab and tirzepatide concomitantly administered, participants see improvement in their psoriasis and achieve weight reduction compared to when receiving ixekizumab. Participation in this study includes up to 12 visits and could last up to 61 weeks including screening, open label treatment period, and post-treatment follow-up period.
