A Study of Zasocitinib in Adults With Non-pustular Palmoplantar Psoriasis
40 participantsStarted 2026-09-01
Plain-language summary
Palmoplantar psoriasis (PPPsO) is a type of psoriasis that affects the palms of hands and soles of the feet. It can cause red, thick, scaly patches, and it is often associated with pain and itching. These symptoms can make daily life hard and can have a bigger effect on quality of life than psoriasis in some other areas of the body.
Treatment can also be difficult because the skin on the palms and soles is thick, so treatments put on the skin (topical treatments) may not work as well.
The main aim of this study is to find out how well zasocitinib works in reducing the skin redness, thickening, scaling, as well as fissures (narrow, elongated tears) on palms and soles of adults. Other aims are to learn if zasocitinib reduces the surface area of psoriasis on the palms and soles in adults with mainly Palmoplantar psoriasis.
The study is conducted in 2 parts with a possibility of continued treatment (long-term extension). In Part 1, participants will receive zasocitinib for 4 months (16 weeks). Participants who finish Part 1 may be able to continue to Part 2 if the study doctor thinks they would benefit. Participants who continue to Part 2, will keep taking zasocitinib until they have been treated for about 1 year (52 weeks). After that, participants may choose to keep taking zasocitinib for another year (52 weeks). Participants will be followed for about 1 month (4 weeks) after the end of treatment.
During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 16 times.

Inclusion criteria

. The participant has provided informed consent and any required privacy authorization before the initiation of any trial procedures.
. The participant has a diagnosis of chronic non-pustular palmoplantar psoriasis for greater than or equal to (\>=) 6 months prior to the screening visit.
. Participant has moderate-to-severe palmoplantar psoriasis, as defined by a ppIGA score \>=3 at screening and Day 1 (Baseline).
. At screening and Day 1 (Baseline), the participant meets all of the following criteria:
. Participant must be a candidate for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Part 1: Percentage of Participants Achieving Palmoplantar Investigator's Global Assessment (ppIGA) 0 or 1 ("Clear" or "Almost Clear") With at least a 2-point Reduction From Baseline at Week 16
. Previously had inadequately controlled disease by topicals, phototherapy and/or systemic treatments.
. Participant is aged 18 years or older at the time of consent.
Exclusion criteria
. Participant has evidence of nonplaque PsO (pustular PsO, palmoplantar pustulosis, acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau, erythrodermic, or guttate PsO) or presence of pustules.
. Participant has a concomitant comorbid skin condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the trial assessments.
. Antibodies to interleukin (IL)-12/23.
. Antibodies to IL-23. There will be an allowance for up to 10 percent (%) of participants with previous IL-23 exposure to enroll. A washout period of 6 months prior to day 1 is required.
. Previous exposure to Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitors.
. Previous exposure to Tyrosine Kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitors.
. History of active tuberculosis (TB), signs or symptoms of active TB. Evidence of latent TB infection, active Herpes infection at screening, history of serious herpetic infection or recurrent herpes zoster, evidence of Hepatitis C virus (HCV), evidence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) or HIV-positive status.
. Participant has any clinically significant medical condition, evidence of an unstable clinical condition (for example, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, or immunologic), or vital signs/physical/laboratory/ECG abnormality that would, in the opinion of the investigator, put the participant at undue risk or interfere with interpretation of trial results.
