Abstract
PURPOSE Tildrakizumab is a selective inhibitor of IL-23 approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in two dosages. We conducted a 16-week multicenter retrospective study to compare the effectiveness and safety of tildrakizumab 200 mg versus tildrakizumab 100 mg in patients with a high disease burden or high body weight. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our retrospective study included 134 patients treated with tildrakizumab 200 mg and 364 patients treated with tildrakizumab 100 mg from 28 Italian Dermatology Units affected by moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The patients had a body weight above 90 kg or a high disease burden (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI] ≥ 16 or the involvement of difficult-to-treat areas). We evaluated the effectiveness of tildrakizumab at the week-16 visit in terms of PASI90, PASI100 and absolute PASI ≤ 2. RESULTS After 16 weeks of treatment with tildrakizumab 200 mg, PASI90 was reached by 57.5% of patients and PASI100 by 39.6% of patients. At the same time point, 34.3% and 24.2% of patients treated with tildrakizumab 100 mg achieved PASI90 and PASI100, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that tildrakizumab 200 mg has better effectiveness than tildrakizumab 100 mg in patients with a body weight ≥ 90 kg and a high disease burden.

Effectiveness and safety of secukinumab updosing in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis: data from the PURE registry. Arch Dermatol Res 2024; 316:362. [PMID: 38850346 PMCID: PMC11162361 DOI: 10.1007/s00403-024-03122-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
Secukinumab is a fully human IgG1 antibody that selectively binds to and neutralizes the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-17A. Secukinumab is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for plaque psoriasis. There is a limited real-word evidence for dose optimisation of secukinumab based on clinical response. PURE is a multi-national, prospective, observational study in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis in Canada and Latin America, assessing the real-world safety and effectiveness of secukinumab and other indicated therapies. The aim of the current snapshot analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of on-label dose and updosed secukinumab in patients with plaque psoriasis enrolled in the PURE study. At the time of analysis, 676 patients received secukinumab, of which 84.6% (n = 572) remained on the on-label dose, while 15.4% (n = 104) were updosed. With on-label secukinumab, the absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was reduced from 13.6 at baseline to 1.2 over 36 months, with treatment persistence of 73% at 40 months. At Month 36, 73.2% of the patients receiving on-label secukinumab achieved Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 0/1. With updosed secukinumab (300 mg every 2 weeks, 300 mg every 3 weeks, 450 mg every 4 weeks, or 450 mg every 3 weeks), 57.9% of the patients showed improvement in the absolute PASI score at the first visit after updosing, with treatment persistence of 50% at 12 months after updosing. At Month 15, 40% of patients receiving updosed secukinumab achieved IGA 0/1. Patients with previous biologic exposure (odds ratio [OR]: 3.25; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.03, 5.18, p < 0.0001) were more likely to be updosed while those with a body weight < 90 kg (OR: 0.49; 95% CI [0.31, 0.77], p = 0.0019) were less likely to be updosed. Previous biologic exposure (HR [hazard ratio]: 1.47; 95% CI [1.24, 1.75], p < 0.0001) and current biologic exposure (secukinumab vs. other indicated therapies: HR 0.57; 95% CI [0.43, 0.75], p = 0.0001) were significantly associated with time to secukinumab updosing. No new or unexpected safety signals were observed with updosed secukinumab. Secukinumab updosing was efficacious and well-tolerated in patients with psoriasis who failed to respond to the approved on-label regimen, suggesting that updosing may be a useful therapeutic option for approved dose non-responders.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune condition. Treatments for psoriasis vary with disease severity, ranging from topicals to systemic biologic agents. The pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of these therapies establish drug efficacy, toxicity, and optimal dosing to ensure therapeutic drug levels are sustained and adverse effects are minimized. AREAS COVERED A literature search was performed on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Ovid MEDLINE for PK and PD, efficacy, and safety data regarding oral systemic nonbiologic therapies utilized for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The findings were organized into sections for each drug: oral acitretin, methotrexate, cyclosporine, apremilast, tofacitinib, and deucravacitinib. EXPERT OPINION Some psoriasis patients may not respond to initial therapy. Ongoing research is evaluating genetic polymorphisms that may predict an improved response to specific medications. However, financial and insurance barriers, as well as limited genetic polymorphisms correlated with treatment response, may restrict the implementation of genetic testing necessary to personalize treatments. How well psoriasis patients adhere to treatment may contribute greatly to variation in response. Therapeutic drug monitoring may help patients adhere to treatment, improve clinical response, and sustain disease control.

Abstract
Background There is no consensus on the effect of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibitors on lipid profiles in patients with psoriasis. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TNF-alpha inhibitors on lipid profiles (triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, or high-density lipoprotein) in patients with psoriasis. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases for articles published before October 17, 2023. Four TNF-alpha inhibitors (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, and certolizumab) were included in our study. (PROSPERO ID: CRD42023469703). Results A total of twenty trials were included. Overall results revealed that TNF-alpha inhibitors elevated high-density lipoprotein levels in patients with psoriasis (WMD = 2.31; 95% CI: 0.96, 3.67; P = 0.001), which was supported by the results of sensitivity analyses excluding the effect of lipid-lowering drugs. Subgroup analyses indicated that high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly increased in the less than or equal to 3 months group (WMD = 2.88; 95% CI: 1.37, 4.4; P < 0.001), the etanercept group (WMD = 3.4; 95% CI = 1.71, 5.09, P < 0.001), and the psoriasis group (WMD = 2.52; 95% CI = 0.57, 4.48, P = 0.011). Triglyceride levels were significantly increased in the 3 to 6-month group (WMD = 4.98; 95% CI = 1.97, 7.99, P = 0.001) and significantly decreased in the 6-month and older group (WMD = -19.84; 95% CI = -23.97, -15.7, P < 0.001). Additionally, Triglyceride levels were significantly increased in the psoriasis group (WMD = 5.22; 95% CI = 2.23, 8.21, P = 0.001). Conclusion Our results revealed that TNF-alpha inhibitors might temporarily increase high-density lipoprotein levels in patients with psoriasis. However, changes in triglycerides were not consistent among the different durations of treatment, with significant increases after 3 to 6 months of treatment. Future prospective trials with long-term follow-up contribute to confirming and extending our findings. Systematic Review Registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42023469703.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to understand treatment response dynamics, including factors associated with favorable response, among patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who received guselkumab, adalimumab, or secukinumab. METHODS These post hoc analyses used data from the phase III clinical trials ECLIPSE and VOYAGE 1, which were conducted between September 2021 and November 2022. On the basis of absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (aPASI) scores, patients were divided into short-term response types (SRT1-6, based on week 20-48 response) and long-term response types (LRT1-4, based on week 52-252 response). Response types (RTs) were based on aPASI cutoffs deemed clinically relevant by the investigators; SRT1/LRT1 were the most favorable response types. Baseline characteristics were compared across RTs, and logistic regression analyses established factors associated with SRT1/LRT1. RESULTS Overall, 1045, 662, and 272 patients were included in the ECLIPSE short-term, VOYAGE 1 short-term, and VOYAGE 1 long-term analyses, respectively. Mean age, body mass index (BMI), baseline aPASI score, and body surface area were lower in SRT1 than SRT6. In VOYAGE 1, adalimumab treatment, high BMI, and current/former smoking status resulted in less favorable responses. In the VOYAGE 1 long-term analysis, patients in LRT4 had the highest baseline aPASI score, were older, and were more often obese compared with other LRT groups. Regression analyses showed that SRT1 (both treatments) in VOYAGE 1 and ECLIPSE, and LRT1 (guselkumab group) in the VOYAGE 1 long-term analysis, were associated with week 16 aPASI response. In VOYAGE 1, SRT1 was associated with psoriasis duration and smoking status. CONCLUSIONS Early treatment response and baseline characteristics, including smoking, psoriasis duration, and obesity, may be associated with longer-term response to biologics. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS ECLIPSE: NCT03090100, VOYAGE 1: NCT02207231.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palmoplantar psoriasis (PP) represents a localized type of disease. While controversy over its' classification exists, a hyperkeratotic type, a pustular type and palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) have been recognized. PP management is regularly supported by biologic agents. Our study aimed to review and synthesize available data regarding the efficacy of approved biologics for PP and PPP. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A literature search was conducted in PubMed, CENTRAL, Scopus, and ClinicalTrilas.gov. Utilizing random-effects inverse-variance frequentist network meta-analyses (NMAs), we ranked interventions. The proportion of participants with cleared skin was the primary outcome. Fifty and 75% improvement in palmoplantar psoriasis area severity index (PPASI) were also explored (PPASI50, PPASI75). RESULTS In total, 15 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) exploring the efficacy of on-label adalimumab, bimekizumab, etanercept, guselkumab, infliximab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, and ustekinumab were included. Data for PP were synthesized. Every biologic agent examined, except from infliximab, outperformed placebo. On-label secukinumab exhibited the highest probability of inducing complete resolution. Ixekizumab and infliximab ranked best on inducing PPASI50 and PPASI75. Our review supports that guselkumab is effective for PPP. CONCLUSIONS Secukinumab, ixekizumab and infliximab are effective for PP. Research is warranted to produce evidence about the efficacy of biologics in PP and PPP.
