🔬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.
