About this study
In plain language
This study compares the long-term safety of deucravacitinib and ustekinumab. It is for people with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, which causes thick, scaly skin patches, who have at least one risk factor for heart or blood vessel disease.
A study to evaluate the long-term safety of Deucravacitinib versus Ustekinumab in participants with psoriasis
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
- The study doctor thinks you can receive light therapy or medicine that treats psoriasis throughout the body, including ustekinumab.
- Have at least one of these risk factors: current cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or other blood fats, type 1 or type 2 diabetes, or obesity.
- A past heart or blood vessel event also counts as a risk factor: a procedure or bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart, heart attack, heart stopping, a hospital stay for worsening heart-related chest pain, a sudden problem with blood flow to the heart, stroke, or mini-stroke.
- Family history also counts as a risk factor: early heart artery disease or sudden death in a parent, sibling, or child—before age 55 for males or age 65 for females.
- Other study entry rules apply.
Who can't join
- Had a heart attack, stroke, procedure to restore blood flow to the heart, or blood clot in a vein within 90 days before the first study day.
- Have unstable heart or blood vessel disease, such as worsening heart-related chest pain or a fast, irregular heartbeat, within 90 days before the first study day.
- Had a heart-related hospital stay, such as for a pacemaker or heart failure, within 90 days before the first study day.
- Have active cancer, or had cancer or a disease that causes too many lymph cells within the past 5 years. This includes cancers of organs, blood, or bone marrow.
- Exceptions to the cancer rule include removed basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or treated early cancer limited to the surface of the cervix that has not returned.
- Other study exclusion rules apply.
