A recent study published in the Journal of American Medical Association revealed that Zasocitinib could be a breakthrough in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches, affects millions throughout the globe. While several treatments exist, the demand for new, effective, and well-tolerated oral therapies remains high.
