Improving Psoriatic Arthritis Screening in Psoriasis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to screen for psoriatic arthritis (a type of joint inflammation) in people with psoriasis. It looks at a tool called PEST and aims to improve early detection.

This observational study is looking at adults with skin psoriasis and collecting real-world information about their condition and experiences. It may help researchers better understand psoriasis and how it affects people, without giving a new treatment.
This study compares two “treat-to-target” strategies for psoriatic arthritis. One strategy uses imaging to guide treatment changes, and the other uses standard clinic assessments, to see which approach controls symptoms more effectively.
This study tests targeted medications for people with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have already tried 1 or 2 other advanced treatments without success or couldn't tolerate them. The goal is to see if these newer options can better control joint pain and skin symptoms.
This trial compares two drugs, apremilast and adalimumab, to see which is more effective for people with psoriatic arthritis who have not responded well to methotrexate. It focuses on joint pain, swelling, and skin symptoms.
This study looks at how well advanced treatments work for people with psoriatic arthritis, and whether results differ for sex and gender. You may be eligible if your psoriatic arthritis is active and you are planning to start an advanced treatment for symptoms in the joints and surrounding areas.
This study uses nail information to build a diagnostic model for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for these conditions.
