Adding a weight-loss medication to psoriasis treatment

This trial is testing tirzepatide, a medication that helps with weight loss, when added to ixekizumab, a treatment you're already receiving for moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Researchers want to see whether the medication can help improve both your skin condition and your weight over the course of a year. This study is happening in real-world clinical practice, meaning it reflects how doctors would actually treat patients like you.

Many people with severe psoriasis also struggle with weight or obesity, which can make their skin condition worse and increase other health risks. Researchers believe that adding a weight-loss medication alongside psoriasis treatment might improve both conditions at the same time, but this approach needs to be tested to confirm it works safely and effectively.
