See JDD author Dr. Andrew Blauvelt bring cutting‑edge psoriasis science to life in GWU’s Dermatology Translational Science Lecture Series, and learn about his new Nature study on high‑induction risankizumab dosing.

Congratulations to JDD author and psoriasis expert Andrew Blauvelt, MD, MBA, on his recent Nature article, “A randomized phase 2 clinical trial to treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients with high-induction dosing of risankizumab.” The phase 2 KNOCKOUT (NCT05283135) study evaluated higher‑than‑approved induction doses of risankizumab and tracked clinical and tissue‑level responses for 100 weeks, finding high and durable skin clearance, marked reductions in lesional tissue‑resident memory T cells (TRM), and no new safety signals.

To learn more about this exciting work check out Dr. Blauvelt’s recent presentation at the George Washington University’s Dermatology Translational Science Lecture Series titled “Curing Psoriasis.” Click below to watch now!
