About this study

In plain language

This study looks at genes and immune system signals linked to swelling and irritation in psoriasis. Psoriasis is a long-lasting skin condition that can come back. The study is for adults age 19 or older who have psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent skin disorder characterized by marked inflammatory changes in the skin. An extensive cytokine network including generated by activated dendritic cells and T cells mediates the formation of psoriatic lesions. These immune-response parameters can be used as markers in the severity and management of the disease after further in-depth studies.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Have a diagnosis of psoriasis.
  • Be age 19 or older.
  • Have any Fitzpatrick skin type (I–VI), a scale of how skin reacts to sunlight.

Who can't join

  • Have no disease that causes light sensitivity and take no medicines that cause light sensitivity.
  • Have had keloids (thick, raised scars), which may form after a small skin sample is removed.
  • Are allergic to local anesthetics (numbing medicines), antibiotics, or anticoagulants (blood thinners).
  • Are pregnant.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
