What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the safety, metabolism, and potential effects of the drug SFA-002 in adults with mild to moderate chronic plaque psoriasis, a common skin condition affecting over 4 million people. This Phase 1 open-label study aims to understand how SFA-002 may influence psoriasis symptoms, as there is currently no cure and treatment focuses on symptom control. Up to ninety participants will receive one of two dosages of SFA-002 for 12 weeks, followed by a 12-week follow-up period. The study uses two forms of SFA-002: one without excipient and one with propionate as an excipient. Blood samples and clinical assessments will be conducted at 12 weeks to evaluate effects, with further monitoring until 24 weeks to observe any lasting impacts. During the study, participants will undergo regular clinical and laboratory evaluations to monitor safety and response, including measurements of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) from enrollment through the final visit at 24 weeks and the 4-week follow-up. Researchers will track symptoms, metabolic changes, and any side effects throughout this period to assess the overall impact of SFA-002 treatment.
