flag Icotrokinra, a new oral drug, showed strong psoriasis results with high skin clearance rates and fewer side effects than existing treatments.

flag Johnson & Johnson's icotrokinra, an oral IL-23 receptor blocker, showed strong 52-week results in treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with high rates of skin clearance in hard-to-treat areas like scalp, genitals, and hands/feet. flag At Week 52, 72% of scalp and 85% of genital psoriasis patients achieved near-clear or clear skin, while 67% had clear or almost clear skin overall. flag It outperformed deucravacitinib in head-to-head trials, delivering double the complete clearance rates with fewer side effects and lower infection rates. flag The drug was well-tolerated, with no new safety concerns, and offers a convenient once-daily oral option for adults and adolescents 12 and older. flag Findings were presented at the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference.
