What the trial was testing
The BE RADIANT enrolled 743 patients with psoriasis. The study was sponsored by UCB Biopharma SRL and tracked outcomes across the full group of patients who matched the trial's eligibility profile.
It was a large trial designed to confirm whether the treatment works well enough for wider use. Trials at this stage are designed to produce evidence regulators and physicians can act on — not just observations to follow up later.
What the results showed
62% of patients on bimekizumab achieved clear skin with minimal quality of life impact at one year.
JAMA dermatology · 2026 · NCT03536884
These findings — that patients had no psoriasis visible and minimal impact on daily life at one year — were published in the JAMA dermatology and represent the headline result of the study.
Researchers tracked outcomes across 743 patients enrolled in the trial. The result was consistent enough across the group that the team felt confident reporting it.
What this means for patients
For patients with psoriasis, this result changes the calculus on what to ask their care team about. Whether it changes day-to-day care depends on factors like disease subtype, prior treatments, and where the patient is in their care journey.
What you can do now
Bimekizumab is FDA-approved for plaque psoriasis. In this head-to-head comparison, it worked faster and better than secukinumab at relieving itching, skin pain, and scaling. Benefits lasted three years. Talk to your dermatologist about whether bimekizumab is right for you.
Eligibility for the treatments mentioned above depends on specific test results and clinical history. Bring this summary, the trial name, and your most recent labs or pathology report to your next visit.

Creating Health Course Study for People With Rheumatological Conditions and Mood Disorders
The goal of this project is to critically evaluate the effectiveness of an online health program designed to improve diet and self-care in patients with rheumatological conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Sjogren's syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), anxiety disorders, depressive disorders and moderate depression. Additionally, investigators will assess the program's effectiveness, as well as the challenges and facilitators involved in using an online wellness program to reduce fatigue and enhance the quality of life in patients suffering from these conditions.
