Plaque Psoriasis

Contributed to Advancing Pediatric Psoriasis Care

Plaque psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) is the most common form of psoriasis, affecting around 6.7 million adults. It causes thick, scaly, discolored patches—called plaques—on the skin, commonly appearing on the elbows, knees, back, and scalp. In severe cases, it can affect the face, hands, feet, genitals, and legs. These plaques can be itchy, painful, or feel like burning.

Hightower Clinical conducted a clinical study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a study drug in children aged 6 to 17 with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis, aiming to expand effective care options for pediatric patients.
