🔬The LATITUDE Psoriatic Arthritis Studies clinical trial is underway! 🔬

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can cause joint pain and itchy, scaly patches on the skin. People with PsA often report pain and stiffness, swollen joints, nail changes, fatigue, and skin rashes or plaques typical of psoriasis.

The clinical trial will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an oral treatment for adults with PsA to see if it can help to reduce the painful symptoms associated with this chronic inflammatory disease.

Having lived with psoriasis since the age of 12, and arthritis since his early 20s, Jason found out about the trial through his doctor and says it has changed his life.

The CGM Research Trust is now looking for people to take part in another Psoriatic Arthritis Studies trial. Like Jason, this would give them access to new investigational medicine.

Watch an interview with Jason below where he discusses his experience.
