CHILDBEARING age , *DRUG efficacy , *BIOTHERAPY , *BIOLOGICALS , *INTERLEUKIN-17 - Abstract
Background: Psoriasis (PSO) involves about 1–3% of the population, and around 75% of women develop PSO before the age of 40. Official guidelines on the treatment of woman with anti-IL17 and anti-IL23 during this potential childbearing time are not currently available. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of biologic treatments in women of childbearing age. Methods: At the Dermatology Clinic of the University of Turin, Italy, 172 women aged 20–55 years underwent IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitor therapy for moderate-severe PSO and were followed up to 52 weeks in a real-life, retrospective, single-center study. Results: Overall, 40% of patients achieved PASI 100 at week 16, and 72% at week 52. A similar trend was observed for PASI 90 and PASI < 3 with almost 80% and 90% of patients achieving the target at 52 weeks. As for PASI 100, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.004) was found at 16 weeks, with 23.84% of patients achieving PASI 100, with IL-17 and 15.70% with the IL-23 inhibitor. No statistically significant differences were found at 28 and 52 weeks. No statistically significant differences in PASIs at any time points were recorded across the different biologic agents. Forty-six patients discontinued treatment. The most reported side effects were headache, nausea, asthenia, injection site pain, and rhinitis. Conclusions: This study showed that biologic drugs are effective and safe in women of childbearing age, with negligible side effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vitiligo is a chronic depigmenting disorder that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Though there have been significant advancements in targeted therapies in skin diseases such as psoriasis or eczema, the progress in the treatment of vitiligo has been slow, with minimal studies assessing the effect of biologics, though there has been recent evidence of the effectiveness of JAK inhibition. This paper reviews the published case reports and studies for the use of systemic targeted therapies including biologics and JAK inhibitors in vitiligo. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: In comparison with TNF‐α inhibitors, anti‐IL‐17A agents are considered to have a lower risk of active tuberculosis (TB) or latent TB infection (LTBI) reactivation. Methods: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the TB infection status and serial QuantiFERON‐TB‐Gold in tube test (QFT) results of psoriasis patients using IL‐17 inhibitors (secukinumab [SEC] and ixekizumab [IXE]) in a real‐world setting from a tuberculosis‐endemic country. Patients who used an anti‐IL‐17 agent for at least 3 months in our follow‐up were included in the study. Patients' clinical and demographic features, baseline QFT results and latest QFT results (if any), and TB infection status were noted from the past medical records. Results: A total of 717 patients, of whom 333 (46.4%) were female, were included in the study. The cumulative exposure time to an anti‐IL‐17 agent was 14,147 patient‐months, 9743 patient‐months for SEC and 4404 patient‐months for IXE. Also, 459 (SEC = 305/IXE = 154) patients used an anti‐IL‐17 agent for ≥ 12 months. Of these, 125 had positive baseline QFT results. In all, 334 had negative baseline QFT results. The latest QFT result of 309 was also negative (persistent seronegative group). During follow‐up, the QFT results of 10 patients changed from negative to positive (positive seroconversion group). Seven of them were using SEC and three were using IXE, respectively. No case of active TB infection was detected. Conclusion: In our study, the positive seroconversion rate of 10/334 seems high, but this did not translate to active disease. However, closer monitoring may be required, especially in patients with advanced age, the presence of PsA, long disease duration and long anti‐IL‐17 treatment duration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives To assess the frequency of simultaneous distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint disease and adjacent nail psoriasis (finger unit) among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and compare the efficacy of the IL-17A antagonist ixekizumab (IXE) and the TNF-α inhibitor adalimumab (ADA). Methods This post hoc analysis evaluated the simultaneous occurrence of DIP joint involvement (tenderness and/or swelling) and adjacent nail psoriasis among patients with PsA from the SPIRIT-H2H (NCT03151551) trial comparing IXE to ADA. Among patients with simultaneous DIP joint involvement and adjacent nail psoriasis in ≥1 digit at baseline, treatment effects were assessed through week 52 for each affected finger unit; 'finger unit' defines the connected DIP joint and adjacent nail of an individual digit. Results A total of 354 patients had simultaneous DIP joint involvement and adjacent nail psoriasis in ≥1 finger unit at baseline. Among them, 1309 (IXE: 639; ADA: 670) finger units had baseline DIP joint tenderness and/or swelling and adjacent nail psoriasis. Proportions of affected finger units achieving complete resolution were significantly higher with IXE vs ADA as early as week 12 (38.8% vs 28.4%, P < 0.0001) and at all post-baseline assessments through week 52 (64.9% vs 57.5%, P = 0.0055). Conclusion In this study cohort, patients with DIP joint involvement almost always had adjacent nail psoriasis. Greater resolution of DIP joint tenderness, swelling and adjacent nail psoriasis was achieved at all time points over 52 weeks through targeting IL-17A with IXE than TNF-α with ADA, which is noteworthy given prior comparable musculoskeletal outcomes for both drug classes.

Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, potentially life‐threatening skin disease often requiring long‐term therapy. We aimed to evaluate the use of Interleukin (IL)‐17A inhibitors (secukinumab and ixekizumab) in GPP patients over 96 weeks. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a case series of 18 patients with GPP who received secukinumab (n = 13) and ixekizumab (n = 5) therapy with a 96‐week follow‐up period. The primary effectiveness analysis included determining the percentage of patients who achieved ≥90% or 100% improvement in the Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (GPPASI) score. Adherence was captured using the medication possession ratio (MPR). Results: Using the as‐observed (AO) method, 87% and 67% of patients treated with secukinumab or ixekizumab achieved GPPASI 90 and 100 responses, respectively. At Week 96, the mean GPPASI improvements from baseline GPPASI were 96.3% (95% CI: 0.91–1.01) using the AO method. After Week 48, 14 patients tapered (n = 8) or terminated (n = 6) the treatment. High‐adherence therapy (MPR ≥ 80%) was significantly superior to the low‐adherence group in the rate of patients achieving a GPPASI 100 response (AO, 100% vs. 38%, P < 0.05). By Week 96, 5 (27.8%) patients had new GPP flares, and 4 (80%) were in the low‐adherence group. No new safety signals occurred. Conclusion: IL‐17A inhibitors led to effective and sustained improvement in GPP patients, and high‐adherence therapy had long‐term positive effects on skin clearance. Given its relapsing nature, improving compliance is beneficial for long‐term clinical management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Following the market authorization of interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors, a growing number of cases of IL-17 inhibitor-induced paradoxical psoriasis (PsO) have been reported. Our objectives were to present two cases of IL-17 inhibitor-induced paradoxical PsO and to systematically review the literature for similar cases, summarizing and presenting the relevant data. A systematic literature review of previously presented cases of paradoxical PsO induced by IL-17 inhibitors was conducted. We presented two patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and paradoxical PsO induced by secukinumab (SEC). One patient's psoriatic lesions responded well to adjuvant topical treatment, while the other patient required a combination of topical treatment and cyclosporine Α for successful treatment. SEC was continued in both cases. We also identified 35 patients with IL-17 inhibitor-induced paradoxical PsO in the literature review. The most frequent types of paradoxical PsO were palmoplantar pustular and plaque PsO, while the median latency period was 11 weeks. Approximately one-third of patients continued IL-17 inhibitor treatment with adjunctive therapy, primarily topical, which produced satisfactory results in most patients. Almost two-thirds of the patients discontinued the IL-17 inhibitor, with the majority of patients switching to another biological agent with a different mechanism of action or initiating other systemic antipsoriatic treatments, resulting in mainly satisfactory outcomes. Therefore, paradoxical PsO induced by IL-17 inhibitors appears to respond well in both patients who continue IL-17 inhibitors with adjunctive treatment and those who discontinue IL-17 inhibitors while switching to a different class of biological agent or initiating other systemic antipsoriatic treatments.

Psoriasis is an immune‐mediated chronic inflammatory skin disease and chronic kidney disease is one of the common comorbidities of psoriasis. Ixekizumab, a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody, has been approved for the treatment of moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis in recent years. However, ixekizumab has not been studied in a population of patients with renal insufficiency. We report two cases of plaque psoriasis patients with renal dysfunction successfully treated with ixekizumab without dose reduction,which experience no side effects and does not cause further kidney injury.

Introduction: Real-world data on ixekizumab utilization in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) are limited. We evaluated ixekizumab treatment patterns and health care resource utilization (HCRU) in patients with axSpA using United States Merative L.P. MarketScan® Claims Databases. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included adults with axSpA who initiated ixekizumab during the index period (September 2019–December 2021). Index date was the date of the first ixekizumab claim. All patients had continuous medical and pharmacy enrollment during the 12-month pre-index and follow-up periods. Descriptive statistics were used to assess patient demographics (index date); clinical characteristics (pre-index period); treatment patterns (12-month follow-up period); and HCRU (pre-index and 12-month follow-up periods). Results: The study included 177 patients (mean age 45.8 years; females 54.8%) with axSpA who initiated ixekizumab. Overall, 79.1% of patients reported prior biologic use; of these, 70.7% received tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors (TNFi) and 49% received secukinumab. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) Charlson Comorbidity Index score was 1.1 (1.3) and ~ 27% of patients reported ≥2 comorbidities. The median (inter-quartile range [IQR]) number of ixekizumab prescription refills was 7 (4–11). The mean (SD) Proportion of Days Covered (PDC) for ixekizumab was 0.6 (0.3) and adherence (PDC ≥80%) was 34.5% (N = 61). Overall, 26.6% (N = 47) of patients switched to a non-index medication and 54.2% (N = 96) of patients discontinued ixekizumab. Among the patients who discontinued ixekizumab (N = 96), 19.8% (N = 19) restarted ixekizumab and 49.0% (N = 47) switched to a non-index medication. The median (IQR) ixekizumab persistence was 268 (120–366) days. Mean axSpA-related outpatient, inpatient, and emergency room visits were similar between the pre-index and follow-up periods. Treatment patterns were largely similar between biologic-experienced patients (N = 140; 79.1%) and the overall population. Conclusions: Despite high comorbidity burden and majority of the patients being biologic-experienced, patients initiating ixekizumab for axSpA showed favorable persistence profiles during the 12-month follow-up period. Plain Language Summary: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) affects the patients' ability to perform daily activities and can have a major impact on their quality of life. Ixekizumab is approved in the United States for the treatment of axSpA. However, real-world data on utilization of ixekizumab are limited. We used administrative claims databases to evaluate real-world treatment patterns and health care resource utilization in adult patients with axSpA who were receiving ixekizumab in the United States. The study showed that more than a quarter of the patients receiving ixekizumab had at least two comorbidities. A majority of the patients (79%) reported that they had received at least one biologic before initiating ixekizumab. Even with the high comorbidity burden and the previous exposure to biologics, patients showed favorable persistence to ixekizumab. Of the patients who discontinued ixekizumab, subsequently, 20% re-initiated ixekizumab and approximately half of the patients switched to an alternative medication. There was no increase in axSpA-related health care resource utilization following ixekizumab treatment. The study findings suggest that ixekizumab is an effective treatment option for patients with axSpA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESPIRATORY infections , *INTERLEUKIN-17 , *FACIAL paralysis , *FACIAL nerve , *AUTOIMMUNE diseases - Abstract
We report a case of a severe ear infection in a 35-year-old man treated with ixekizumab for psoriasis. Ixekizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively prevents the interaction between interleukin 17 A and its receptor. Biologicals like ixekizumab are used to achieve symptom relief in autoimmune diseases including psoriasis. Unlike the mild upper respiratory tract infections usually described as side-effects of this treatment, we report a case of a patient who presented with a severe otitis media, complicated with a facial paresis and nasopharyngeal abscess. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case presenting a severe, complicated ear infection as a possible side effect of ixekizumab. We conclude that when using ixekizumab, vigilance for upper airway infections is needed and if necessary, interruption of therapy should be considered. However, further research is needed to confirm this hypothesis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have joined tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) and interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors (IL-17i) as approved disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) for moderate to severe forms of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Drug survival in axSpA patients has not been well studied in a real-world outpatient scenario since the approval of JAKi. We aimed to analyze the three drug classes based on modes of actions (MoA) for their persistence rates among German axSpA outpatients. A retrospective analysis of the RHADAR database for axSpA patients with a new initiation of TNFi, IL-17i, or JAKi treatment between January 2015 and October 2023 was conducted. Analyses included Kaplan-Meier curves and adjusted Cox regressions for drug discontinuation. 1222 new biological DMARD (TNFi [n = 954], IL-17i [n = 190]) or JAKi (n = 78) treatments were reported. The median drug survival was 31 months for TNFi, 25 for IL-17i, and 18 for JAKi. The corresponding 2-year drug survival rate was 79.6%, 72.6%, and 62.8% for TNFi, IL-17i, and JAKi, respectively. The probability for discontinuation for JAKi was significantly higher compared with TNFi (HR 1.91 [95% CI 1.22–2.99]) as well as for IL-17i compared with TNFi (HR 1.43 [95% CI 1.02–2.01]), possibly related to more frequent use of TNFis as first-line therapy. IL-17i and JAKi discontinuation probabilities were similar. Primary non-response was the reason for drug discontinuation in most cases across all MoA. TNFi treatment might persist longer than JAKi and IL-17i in German axSpA outpatients, possibly related to more severe or refractory disease in patients with JAKi-treated or IL-17i-treated axSpA.

Background: Erythrodermic psoriasis (EP) is a potentially life-threatening disease, and there is currently no consensus regarding its optimal treatment. Biological drugs approved for Psoriasis Vulgaris treatment have been used as alternatives to traditional medications. Objective: To evaluate the clinical response and tolerability of anti- interleukin 17 (IL17) biologic drugs during a 2-year-follow-up. Methods: This was a retrospective prospective study. EP cases, defined as >75% body surface area involvement, in patients ≥18 years old treated with anti-IL17 for at least 6 consecutive months were enrolled and then followed until 104 weeks. Patient characteristics, overall clinical responses, Psoriasis Area Severity Index score changes, and adverse events were analyzed. Results: Sixteen patients met the criteria, of which 50% had achieved the Psoriasis Area Severity Index 100 response at week 12 and in 93.7% at week 24. In the prospective observation of the cohort, 87.5% were still in remission at week 52 and 81.25% at 104 weeks, without adverse events. The 3 patients in whom the treatment was interrupted lost efficacy and were switched to other therapies. Limitations: Only descriptive analysis was conducted due to the limited number of patients. Conclusions: A satisfactory long-term clinical response without adverse effects was observed in this case series, suggesting the interest of anti-IL17 in EP treatment.

Among these, ixekizumab is a humanized IgG4 monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-17A, approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Its adverse effects include infections such as nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infections, and injection site reactions. While the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) associated with IL-17A antagonists is extremely low, this paper reports a case of active pulmonary tuberculosis occurring after ten doses of ixekizumab treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis. This highlights the importance for clinicians to remain vigilant regarding tuberculosis infection in patients undergoing therapy with this class of medications, emphasizing the need for enhanced screening and monitoring for tuberculosis during treatment.Keywords: interleukin-17A antagonists, ixekizumab, psoriasis, primary active pulmonary tuberculosis

Abstract Introduction Ixekizumab, an interleukin 17A (IL-17A) inhibitor, has demonstrated rapid and sustained improvement in the signs and symptoms in patients with active radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) in global and Chinese populations. We studied the effect of ixekizumab on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) (including patient global, spinal pain, stiffness, and fatigue) and overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of ixekizumab in the phase 3 study in China. Methods In this Chinese phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients with r-axSpA were randomized (1:1) to receive ixekizumab 80 mg every 4 weeks (IXEQ4W; starting dose 160 mg) or placebo for 16 weeks. At week 16, patients receiving placebo were switched to IXEQ4W, and those receiving IXEQ4W continued, until week 52. Data for patient global, spinal pain, spinal pain at night, stiffness, and fatigue were collected through week 52. Minimally clinical important differences (MCIDs) were determined for spinal pain and spinal pain at night. The subgroup analyses by baseline disease duration since diagnosis and baseline C-reactive protein (CRP) level were conducted post hoc. Results Compared with placebo, patients treated with IXEQ4W reported significantly greater improvement with a rapid onset in changes from baseline of PROs (patient global, spinal pain, spinal pain at night, stiffness, and fatigue) through week 16. Improvements were maintained through week 52. A similar trend of improvement was also observed in MCID response in spinal pain and spinal pain at night. The improvement in overall HRQoL was supported by EQ-5D-5L assessment. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that IXEQ4W provided significantly greater efficacy at week 16 compared with placebo, irrespective of baseline disease duration or baseline CRP level. Conclusion IXEQ4W provided rapid and sustained improvement in clinically relevant PROs and overall HRQoL through 1-year treatment in Chinese patients with r-axSpA. Regardless of the baseline disease duration or baseline CRP level, consistent efficacy was observed. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04285229.

Choosing the optimal treatment for psoriasis can depend on several factors and is strongly influenced by a drug’s efficacy and safety profile. Continuous treatment with biological therapies is recommended to achieve effective disease management in patients with psoriasis. However, in real-world, patients often discontinue biologic therapy within the first year of treatment. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness and drug survival of two anti-interleukin 17 agents (ixekizumab and secukinumab) in a group of adult patients with moderate to severe psoriasis from Bucharest, Romania.Patients and Methods: We designed an observational, non-interventional, retrospective study of 255 adult patients with moderate to severe psoriasis receiving ixekizumab and secukinumab. We performed descriptive statistics and inferential methods, such as z-test, median test and Kaplan Meier curve comparison, to characterize the groups with two biological treatments.Results: Patients treated with ixekizumab had a longer drug survival compared to those treated with secukinumab with lower risks of non-persistence, discontinuation and switching therapy. Patients age-groups and psoriasis durations found to be significant factors in drug survival.Conclusion: This study contributes to the understanding of the drug survival profile and the factors that may influence it in ixekizumab and secukinumab treatment in a real-world setting.Keywords: anti-IL-17 effectiveness, anti-IL-17 drug survival, ixekizumab, secukinumab

Introduction: A previous network meta-analysis established 16-week relative efficacy with bimekizumab, an inhibitor of interleukin (IL)-17F in addition to IL-17A, versus other treatments for patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA; i.e., ankylosing spondylitis), including the IL-17A inhibitors secukinumab and ixekizumab. This matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) assessed 52-week relative efficacy of bimekizumab versus secukinumab and ixekizumab. Methods: Individual patient data from BE MOBILE 2 (bimekizumab 160 mg; N = 220) were matched to pooled summary data from MEASURE 1/2/3/4 (secukinumab 150 mg), MEASURE 3 (secukinumab 300 mg; escalated dose for inadequate responders), COAST-V (ixekizumab) and COAST-V/-W (ixekizumab). BE MOBILE 2 patients were reweighted using propensity score weights based on age, sex, ethnicity, tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) exposure, weight, baseline ASDAS and BASFI (secukinumab) and baseline BASDAI (ixekizumab), and 52-week efficacy outcomes from the trial recalculated. Odds ratios (OR) or mean difference for unanchored comparisons are reported with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results: At week 52, MAIC demonstrated that patients may have higher likelihood of improvement in key efficacy outcomes with bimekizumab versus secukinumab 150 mg (e.g., ASAS40: [OR (95% CI): 1.48 (1.05, 2.10); p = 0.026]; effective sample size [ESS] = 177). Differences in 52-week efficacy outcomes between bimekizumab and secukinumab 300 mg dose escalation were non-significant (ESS = 120). Bimekizumab versus ixekizumab 80 mg comparisons (COAST-V only; ESS = 84) also suggested that differences were non-significant for most key efficacy outcomes. Other ixekizumab comparisons (COAST-V/-W; ESS = 45) suggested bimekizumab may have higher comparative efficacy for many of the same efficacy outcomes, however ixekizumab analyses were limited by poor population overlap, likely due to the greater proportion of patients with previous TNFi exposure. Conclusions: Patients treated with bimekizumab may have a higher likelihood of achieving improved longer-term efficacy versus secukinumab 150 mg, suggesting bimekizumab may be a favorable therapeutic option for r-axSpA. Differences in efficacy outcomes with bimekizumab versus ixekizumab 80 mg were mostly non-significant, depending on the populations considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Ixekizumab, an interleukin (IL)-17A inhibitor, exerts its therapeutic effects in psoriasis by inhibiting the interleukin (IL)-17 signaling pathway. Common adverse reactions to ixekizumab include injection site reactions and upper respiratory tract infections (URIs), while occurrences of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and multiple mucosal ulcers are infrequent. We present a case of a 51-year-old man who developed multiple mucosal ulcers after ixekizumab treatment. Methods: A 51-year-old man presented to our hospital with a 1-month history of pharyngalgia. The flexible laryngoscope displayed mild hyperemia in the pharyngeal mucosa and tonsils, redness and swelling of the epiglottis, as well as multiple ulcers in the oral cavity, uvula, and epiglottis. These ulcers did not improve with conventional treatment. Results: Upon evaluation, the ulcers were an immune-related adverse event induced by ixekizumab. Consequently, a decision was made to discontinue the drug and initiate a therapeutic regimen including corticosteroids and thalidomide. Eventually, the patient's symptoms abated. Conclusions: Biologics are now becoming increasingly popular in psoriasis. It is vital for clinicians to be aware of this potential adverse event and to identify and intervene early to alleviate patients' suffering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We aimed to examine the drug retention rate (DRR) of the interleukin-17 inhibitor ixekizumab in a real-world monocentric cohort of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients and to assess the predictors of drug discontinuation. Consecutive PsA patients who underwent treatment with ixekizumab from October 2019 to February 2023 were enrolled in this observational, retrospective, monocentric study. Clinical records were assessed at baseline and throughout the follow-up period. We collected sociodemographic data, smoking habits, body mass index, the presence of Human Leukocyte Antigen B27, comorbidities, disease involvement and duration, previous therapy, discontinuation of ixekizumab, reasons for discontinuation, and adverse events (AEs). DRR was evaluated as time to drug discontinuation and assessed through Kaplan–Meier curves. Baseline factors predicting drug discontinuation were investigated through logistic regression models. Eighty PsA patients were included in this study. Ixekizumab was administered at a dose of 160 mg by subcutaneous injection at baseline, followed by 80 mg every four weeks thereafter. Ixekizumab had a 38-month-cumulative DRR of 43.8%, accounting for both inefficacy and AEs. When considering only inefficacy, the DRR was 62.6%. Comorbidities (p = 0.665), obesity (p = 0.665), smoking (p = 0.884), disease duration ≤ 2 years (p = 0.071), axial (p = 0.131) and skin involvement (p = 0.460), and previous therapies, including conventional synthetic (p = 0.504) and biological (p = 0.474) Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs), as well as the number of previous bDMARDs or targeted synthetic Disease-Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (tsDMARDs), did not significantly affect the DRR (p = 0.349). Multivariate analysis found no independent predictors of drug discontinuation. The most frequent AEs leading to discontinuation were skin reactions; no severe infections were observed. In our real-world study, comorbidities, disease duration, and previous therapies did not affect the DRR of ixekizumab. Ixekizumab had a favorable safety profile, with no severe AEs observed.

- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the four kinds of interleukin biological agents of ustekinumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab and guselkumab, so as to provide scientific basis for drug selection and clinical rational drug use in medical institutions. METHODS: According to the Selection and Evaluation Form of Drug Use (Chemical Drugs) List in the Tertiary Public Medical Institutions in Hebei Province published by Hebei Provincial Health Commission, four kinds of interleukin biological agents were comprehensively evaluated from effectiveness, pharmaceutical characteristics, safety, economy and other properties. RESULTS: The total scores of ustekinumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab and guselkumab were 79. 3, 77. 8, 68. 3 and 76. 3 points respectively. Guselkumab could achieve complete clearing of skin lesions, and the drug retention rate was high. Ustekinumab was the “ dual-targeted ” interleukin-12 and interleukin-23 inhibitor for moderately to severely active Crohn’ s disease in addition to psoriasis. Ixekizumab was a non-whole-human biological preparation, with the highest incidence of adverse reactions among the four types of biological preparations, yet was relatively inexpensive. Sekucizumab and ustekinumab were approved for psoriasis in children and adolescents. CONCLUSIONS: Guselkumab may be considered for patients seeking complete clearance and wishing to maintain better outcomes over time. Ustekinumab may be considered for patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease or a family history of inflammatory bowel disease. Secukinumab and ustekinumab may be considered for pediatric psoriasis. Ixekizumab may be an option for patients wishing to achieve a rapid onset of action and who have limited ability to pay, yet patients who are susceptible to allergies and at high risk for connective tissue disease should be avoided. Ixekizumab and secukinumab may cause or aggravate inflammatory bowel disease and should be used with caution in clinic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PSORIATIC arthritis , *PSORIASIS , *BODY surface area - Abstract
Introduction: Skin involvement in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) worsens the severity and burden of disease. Ixekizumab (IXE), a selective interleukin (IL)-17A antagonist, was compared to placebo (PBO) in the SPIRIT-P1 (NCT01695239) and SPIRIT-P2 (NCT02349295) studies in patients with PsA and evidence of plaque psoriasis. This post hoc analysis reports musculoskeletal, skin, and nail outcomes through week 24 in patients from SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2, stratified by mild, moderate, or psoriasis at baseline. Methods: This post hoc analysis pooled patients from SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2 who were randomly assigned to PBO or IXE 80 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 2 weeks (Q2W). Efficacy outcomes were analyzed through week 24 by baseline psoriasis severity, defined by percent body surface area (BSA) affected; mild = BSA < 3%, moderate = 3% ≤ BSA ≤ 10%, severe = BSA > 10%. The primary outcomes assessed were the proportion of patients achieving American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Secondary outcomes included musculoskeletal, disease activity, skin and nail, and health-related quality-of-life measures. Results: Similar proportions of patients achieved ACR20/ACR50/ACR70 over time across all severity subgroups and treatment arms. More than one-third of IXE-treated patients achieved ACR20 at week 4, or ACR50 at week 24, with no significant differences according to psoriasis severity at baseline. Disease activity outcomes were similar through week 24 with both IXEQ4W and IXEQ2W, regardless of psoriasis severity at baseline. There were no significant differences over 24 weeks in the proportions of IXE-treated patients with mild, moderate, or severe baseline psoriasis who achieved Minimal Disease Activity (MDA). Across all severity subgroups, IXE demonstrated Psoriasis Area Severity Index 100 response as early as week 4, and approximately one-third of IXE-treated patients achieved total skin clearance at week 24. Conclusion: IXE demonstrated rapid and consistent efficacy in joint, skin, and nail for patients with PsA, regardless of baseline psoriasis severity. Trial Registration: SPIRIT-P1 (NCT01695239), SPIRIT-P2 (NCT02349295). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The introduction of biological therapies has revolutionized the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. In particular, ixekizumab, an inhibitor of interleukin-17A, has shown great results in terms of efficacy and safety in both clinical trials and real-world experiences. However, there is a lack of long-term real-world data available for ixekizumab. Methods: We conducted a multicenter real-life study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ixekizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI) was collected at baseline and after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. The occurrence of any adverse events was recorded at each time point. Results: We enrolled 1096 patients treated with ixekizumab for at least 1 year. At week 52, the percentages of PASI 90 and PASI 100 were 85.04% and 69.07%, respectively. After 5 years of treatment with ixekizumab, out of 145 patients, a PASI 90 response was achieved by 86.90% of patients, while complete skin clearance was reached by 68.28% of patients. We did not observe any new significant safety findings throughout the study period. Conclusion: This study supports the long-term effectiveness and safety of ixekizumab in a real-world setting.

Introduction: Given the chronic nature of psoriasis (PsO), more studies are needed that directly compare the effectiveness of different biologics over long observation periods. This study compares the effectiveness and durability through 12 months of anti-interleukin (IL)-17A biologics relative to other approved biologics in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a real-world setting. Methods: The Psoriasis Study of Health Outcomes (PSoHO) is an ongoing 3-year, prospective, non-interventional cohort study of 1981 adults with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis initiating or switching to a new biologic. The study compares the effectiveness of anti-IL-17A biologics with other approved biologics and provides pairwise comparisons of seven individual biologics versus ixekizumab. The primary outcome was defined as the proportion of patients who had at least a 90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI90) and/or a score of 0 or 1 in static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA). Secondary objective comparisons included the proportion of patients who achieved PASI90, PASI100, a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score of 0 or 1, and three different measures of durability of treatment response. Unadjusted response rates are presented alongside the primary analysis, which uses frequentist model averaging (FMA) to evaluate the adjusted comparative effectiveness. Results: Compared to the other biologics cohort, the anti-IL-17A cohort had a higher response rate (68.0% vs. 65.1%) and significantly higher odds of achieving the primary outcome at month 12. The two cohorts had similar response rates for PASI100 (40.5% and 37.1%) and PASI90 (53.9% and 51.7%) at month 12, with no significant differences between the cohorts in the adjusted analyses. At month 12, the response rates across the individual biologics were 53.5–72.6% for the primary outcome, 27.6–48.3% for PASI100, and 41.7–61.4% for PASI90. Conclusions: These results show the comparative effectiveness of biologics at 6 and 12 months in the real-world setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
For psoriatic patients who need to receive nonlive or live vaccines, evidence-based recommendations are needed regarding whether to pause or continue systemic therapies for psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis. To evaluate literature regarding vaccine efficacy and safety and to generate consensus-based recommendations for adults receiving systemic therapies for psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis receiving nonlive or live vaccines. Using a modified Delphi process, 22 consensus statements were developed by the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board and COVID-19 Task Force, and infectious disease experts. Key recommendations include continuing most oral and biologic therapies without modification for patients receiving nonlive vaccines; consider interruption of methotrexate for nonlive vaccines. For patients receiving live vaccines, discontinue most oral and biologic medications before and after administration of live vaccine. Specific recommendations include discontinuing most biologic therapies, except for abatacept, for 2-3 half-lives before live vaccine administration and deferring next dose 2-4 weeks after live vaccination. Studies regarding infection rates after vaccination are lacking. Interruption of antipsoriatic oral and biologic therapies is generally not necessary for patients receiving nonlive vaccines. Temporary interruption of oral and biologic therapies before and after administration of live vaccines is recommended in most cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Biological drugs have dramatically changed the approach to treating moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis, achieving excellent skin clearance and safety outcomes. However, the management of difficult‐to‐treat areas (e.g., scalp, palms/soles, nails, and genitalia) still represents a challenge in psoriasis treatment. Data in the literature on difficult‐to‐treat sites are limited and, frequently, no specific analysis is performed during clinical trials. We conducted a 52‐week, retrospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of ixekizumab in 120 patients with moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis of at least one difficult‐to‐treat area (scalp, palmoplantar surfaces, nails, and genitalia). Ninety‐nine patients had scalp psoriasis, 35 had involvement of the palms or soles, 27 were affected by genital psoriasis, and 22 patients reported involvement of the nails. After 1 year of treatment, 96% of patients with scalp involvement, 95.6% of patients with palmoplantar psoriasis, 95.2% of patients with genital psoriasis, and 85% of patients with nail involvement achieved a site‐specific Physician's Global Assessment of 0 or 1 (clear or almost clear). No serious adverse events were observed during the study. Our study supports the effectiveness of ixekizumab in plaque psoriasis involving difficult‐to‐treat sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
ABSTRACT Linear psoriasis is a rare clinical presentation of psoriasis characterized by erythematous scaly plaques distributed along Blaschko's lines. We describe an 8‐year‐old male with a linear Blaschkoid plaque in which biopsy findings and clinical history were consistent with linear psoriasis. The lesion showed only mild improvement with topical steroid therapy but exhibited significant clearance with the biologic agent ixekizumab, an IL‐17A inhibitor. With limited supporting literature regarding management, this case report illustrates the clinical manifestation, diagnosis, and an effective management strategy for linear psoriasis in a pediatric patient.

Abstract Introduction Skin involvement in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) worsens the severity and burden of disease. Ixekizumab (IXE), a selective interleukin (IL)-17A antagonist, was compared to placebo (PBO) in the SPIRIT-P1 (NCT01695239) and SPIRIT-P2 (NCT02349295) studies in patients with PsA and evidence of plaque psoriasis. This post hoc analysis reports musculoskeletal, skin, and nail outcomes through week 24 in patients from SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2, stratified by mild, moderate, or severe psoriasis at baseline. Methods This post hoc analysis pooled patients from SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2 who were randomly assigned to PBO or IXE 80 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 2 weeks (Q2W). Efficacy outcomes were analyzed through week 24 by baseline psoriasis severity, defined by percent body surface area (BSA) affected; mild = BSA 10%. The primary outcomes assessed were the proportion of patients achieving American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Secondary outcomes included musculoskeletal, disease activity, skin and nail, and health-related quality-of-life measures. Results Similar proportions of patients achieved ACR20/ACR50/ACR70 over time across all severity subgroups and treatment arms. More than one-third of IXE-treated patients achieved ACR20 at week 4, or ACR50 at week 24, with no significant differences according to psoriasis severity at baseline. Disease activity outcomes were similar through week 24 with both IXEQ4W and IXEQ2W, regardless of psoriasis severity at baseline. There were no significant differences over 24 weeks in the proportions of IXE-treated patients with mild, moderate, or severe baseline psoriasis who achieved Minimal Disease Activity (MDA). Across all severity subgroups, IXE demonstrated Psoriasis Area Severity Index 100 response as early as week 4, and approximately one-third of IXE-treated patients achieved total skin clearance at week 24. Conclusion IXE demonstrated rapid and consistent efficacy in joint, skin, and nail for patients with PsA, regardless of baseline psoriasis severity. Trial Registration SPIRIT-P1 (NCT01695239), SPIRIT-P2 (NCT02349295).
