A Phase I Randomised Controlled Trial to Evaluate Safety and Clinical Effect of Topically Applied GSK2981278 Ointment in a Psoriasis Plaque Test

Abstract

RORγt, a truncated isoform of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ), is a transcription factor involved in Th17 cell differentiation. It is expressed in a few distinct types of immune cells and described as the master regulator of Th17 cytokine expression¹. RORγ has identical ligand-binding domains as RORγt²; consequently, compounds targeting RORγ are also expected to modulate Th17 cell activity.
