Good news! Were getting closer to another oral treatment for psoriasis! Pfizers tofacitinab, which is taken as a pill, successfully treated moderate to severe plaque #psoriasis in two phase II trials. After 16 weeks, a significant number of patients achieved a 75 percent reduction in severity, and an assessment of clear or almost clear skin. Pfizer plans to submit these results, along with the results of three other trials, by early 2015 as part of a drug approval application to the FDA.
