What is the Future of Psoriasis Treatment?

Biologic treatments for psoriasis

Biological medications are those made from living or animal proteins that mimic human molecules and target specific areas of the body. A number of different biologics have already been approved for use in the UK but are still in the process of being investigated and trialled for their long term effects.

For more information on how to trial a biologics treatment contact the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics Intervention Register (BADBIR).

Oral PDE4 inhibitors

Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) Inhibitors suppress the immune system in a more targeted way than more general systematic immune suppressants and are currently being investigated for the treatment of psoriasis.

Topical PDE4 Inhibitors

Due to the side effects of orally administered immune suppressants, even more targeted ones, a topical form (ointment) that contains a PDE4 inhibitor is currently in development for the treatment of psoriasis.
