Elucidating Shared Mechanisms Contributing to NAFLD and PsA Disease Severity With Guselkumab Therapy (NCT06586281)
Elucidating Shared Mechanisms Contributing to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Disease Severity With Guselkumab Therapy
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
While many studies examine Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), little is known about its progression to high-risk nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in PsA patients. Shared disease mechanisms may explain the increased severity in PsA. This study involves two visits from PsA patients with NAFLD and active disease signs (e.g., swollen joint, enthesitis, or psoriatic plaque). It aims to assess the impact of biological therapies on liver disorders, joints, and skin in PsA patients.
