Abstract
Psoriasis is now considered a systemic disease, and several comorbidities have been described such as cardiovascular diseases, neurologic and psychiatric disorders, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, psoriatic arthritis, etc. Regarding cardiovascular comorbidities, major adverse cardiovascular events have been reported in psoriasis patients by multiple epidemiologic studies. Moreover, smoking, obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes and reduced physical activity are associated with psoriasis, increasing cardiovascular risk. Consequently, several aspects should be considered when making the treatment decision. The aim of this review manuscript was to investigate the effectiveness and safety of biologic drugs acting on molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis in preventing cardiovascular complications.

Long-term safety of Ixekizumab in adults with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, or axial spondyloarthritis: a post-hoc analysis of final safety data from 25 randomized clinical trials. Arthritis Res Ther 2024; 26:49. [PMID: 38347650 PMCID: PMC10860236 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-023-03257-7] [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: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 12/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We report long-term, end-of-study program safety outcomes from 25 randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in adult patients with psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) [including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA)] who received ≥ 1 dose of Ixekizumab (IXE) over 5 years (PsO) or up to 3 years (PsA, axSpA). METHODS This integrated safety analysis consists of data from patients who received any dose of IXE, across 25 RCTs (17 PsO, 4 PsA, 4 axSpA). Rates of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), serious adverse events (SAEs) and selected adverse events (AEs) of interest were analyzed for all pooled studies by years of therapy and overall, through March 2022. Results were reported as exposure-adjusted incidence rates (IRs) per 100 patient-years (PY) overall and at successive year intervals. RESULTS Six thousand eight hundred ninety two adult patients with PsO, 1401 with PsA, and 932 with axSpA (including AS and nr-axSpA), with a cumulative IXE exposure of 22,371.1 PY were included. The most commonly reported TEAE across indications was nasopharyngitis (IRs per 100 PY: 8.8 (PsO), 9.0 (PsA), 8.4 (axSpA)). SAEs were reported by 969 patients with PsO (IR 5.4), 134 patients with PsA (IR 6.0), and 101 patients with axSpA (IR 4.8). Forty-five deaths were reported (PsO, n = 36, IR 0.2; PsA, n = 6, IR 0.3; axSpA, n = 3, IR 0.1). TEAEs did not increase during IXE exposure: IRs per 100 PY, PsO: 88.9 to 63.2 (year 0-1 to 4-5), PsA: 87 to 67.3 (year 0-1 to 2-3), axSpA: 82.1 to 55.4 (year 0-1 to > = 2). IRs per 100 PY of discontinuation from IXE due to AE were 2.9 (PsO), 5.1 (PsA), and 3.1 (axSpA). IRs per 100 PY of injection site reactions were 5.9 (PsO), 11.6 (PsA) and 7.4 (axSpA); Candida: 1.9 (PsO), 2.0 (PsA), and 1.2 (axSpA); depression, major adverse cerebro-cardiovascular events and malignancies: ≤ 1.6 across all indications. Adjudicated IRs per 100 PY of inflammatory bowel disease were ≤ 0.8 across indications (0.1 [PsO]; 0.1 [PsA]; 0.8 [axSpA]). CONCLUSIONS In this integrated safety analysis, consisting of over 22,000 PY of exposure, the long-term safety profile of IXE was found to be consistent with previous, earlier reports, with no new safety signals identified. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT registration numbers for RCTs included in this integrated analysis can be found in Additional File 1.

Abstract
Ixekizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically inhibits IL-17A. It has been approved for the treatment of adult and pediatric psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthropathies by the US FDA and the EMA. Phase III trials, post hoc analyses and real-life data have reported its efficacy, effectiveness and safety. This review summarizes the latest evidence on the clinical efficacy, pharmacology and safety profile of ixekizumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. A literature search was performed for articles published through December 2022. Ixekizumab is one of the most efficacious biologics for psoriasis, with a rapid onset of response, favorable long-term outcomes and an adequate safety profile.

Abstract
Ixekizumab (Taltz®) is a humanized anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody approved for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases including psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Despite the favorable efficacy and safety, ixekizumab is also known for its high incidence of injection site reactions (ISRs), ranging from 6% to 55% in different studies according to different definitions and studied population. However, specific risk factors for ixekizumab-induced injection site reactions in patients with psoriatic diseases had not been well studied. In this retrospective study, we found that overweight or obesity might be a protective predictor for the occurrence of ixekizumab-induced ISRs in patients with psoriatic disease. Meanwhile, having a positive family history of psoriasis might be a potential risk factor. Last but not least, patients with diarrhea following ixekizumab injection were associated with a higher risk of developing ISRs. Future high-quality studies with larger samples are warranted to verify the relationship.

Abstract
Ixekizumab is one of the three biologic agents including Secukinumab and Brodalumab that targets the Interleukin-17 (IL-17) pathway to reduce inflammation in psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. In this report we present the case of 42-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. One week after first administration of Ixekizumab, she developed diffuse abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea (7-8 stools/day) and fever. Following imaging (colonoscopy, computed tomography) and laboratory investigations, she was diagnosed with acute severe ulcerative colitis complicated with toxic megacolon. The medical treatment (first corticotherapy, then infliximab) has failed and the patient needed emergency colectomy. Based on the immunological mechanisms and the observation from other studies, Ixekizumab should be considered an etiology for new-onset inflammatory bowel disease.
