TYK2 Inhibition in Paradoxical Psoriasis

Study Purpose

Paradoxical psoriasis is a side effect of a biological treatment (anti-tumor necrosis factor agent, short called anti-TNF) that is used to treat diseases of the skin, the intestine or the joints. If paradoxical psoriasis occurs, the anti-TNF-treatment often needs to be stopped and so far, no specific treatment for paradoxical psoriasis exists. This research project aims to study whether the efficacy of the drug 'Deucravacitinib' 6mg, a tablet taken by mouth once a day is superior compared to taking a placebo in treating paradoxical psoriasis.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
