Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic disease in which the immune system becomes overactive, causing skin cells to multiply too quickly. Patches of skin become scaly and inflamed, most often on the scalp, elbows, or knees, but other parts of the body can be affected as well.

Psoriasis is a relatively common skin condition affecting around 60 million people worldwide, with 1.52% of the population in the UK.

There’s no cure for psoriasis. But there are lots of treatments that may help to control your symptoms. You may need to try different ones to find what works best for you.

If you have moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, you might be eligible for a clinical trial.

Am I eligible to participate in a psoriasis clinical trial at 4MCS?
To be eligible for our psoriasis clinical trials, you must be aged 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months before screening. You should currently have moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and be able to travel to our research facility in Ilford or Swinton for regular visits. During your initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history, current medications, and psoriasis management routine. Our experienced team will guide you through the eligibility process and ensure you have all the information you need.
Participating in our psoriasis clinical studies involves regular visits to our research facility in Ilford or Swinton. During these visits, you’ll receive comprehensive medical assessments, including skin evaluations, psoriasis severity assessments, and general health checks. The trial typically includes an initial screening period, followed by the main study period where you may receive either the investigational treatment or a placebo. You’ll maintain a symptom diary throughout the trial, and our team will provide all necessary equipment and training. Most trials run for several months, with visit frequency varying by study. You’ll always be fully informed about what each visit involves, and your safety is our absolute priority.
We do not provide payment for participation in our clinical trials for psoriasis in UK. However, we may provide reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses to and from our Ilford research facility.
