Anti-interleukin-17 therapies for moderate/severe psoriasis in clinical practice: effectiveness, safety and association with clinical patient factors. Eur J Hosp Pharm 2024; 31:409-415. [PMID: 37094886 DOI: 10.1136/ejhpharm-2022-003594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/26/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Interleukin-17 (IL-17) contributes to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab are monoclonal antibodies anti-IL-17 antibodies, approved for the treatment of moderate/severe plaque psoriasis.The aim of the study was to describe the effectiveness and safety of anti-IL-17 agents in moderate/severe plaque psoriasis in clinical practice. We also analysed anti-IL-17 therapies' survival, dose adjustment, and clinical patients' factors associated with their effectiveness and safety. METHODS A retrospective, longitudinal study was conducted at a tertiary hospital. We included patients with moderate/severe psoriasis treated with anti-IL-17 agents. The effectiveness was evaluated with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score and safety through the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) collected. RESULTS 38 patients were studied (median age=47.4 years, 71.0% male). The mean number of biological therapies that patients received was 2.6, and anti-IL-17 therapy was the first biological therapy for 36.8% of patients. The median years in treatment were 2.5 (95% CI 1.95 to 2.98) for secukinumab, 1.2 (95% CI 0.36 to 1.47) for ixekizumab, and 0.7 (IQR 0.71) for brodalumab. The median PASI score after 6 months of treatment was 0 (IQR 0) and 85.3% of patients achieved a PASI of 90 (84.0% with secukinumab, 87.5% with ixekizumab, and 100% with brodalumab). Dose adjustment was associated with the line of treatment (p=0.034 for naïve patients), age (p=0.044 for younger patients), and concomitant pathologies (p=0.015 without more diseases).24 patients suffered from ADRs, mainly infections of the upper respiratory tract, and there were no statistically significant differences between the three therapies. CONCLUSIONS Anti-IL-17 agents constitute an effective treatment for patients with moderate/severe plaque psoriasis and for longer. Dose reductions were associated with fewer lines of treatment, younger patients and absence of concomitant pathologies. ADR were minor and similar among the anti-IL-17.

Treatment of psoriasis with biologic and non-biologic targeted therapies in patients with latent tuberculosis infection or at risk for tuberculosis disease progression: Recommendations from a SPIN-FRT expert consensus. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol 2024. [PMID: 39149807 DOI: 10.1111/jdv.20287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is a significant global health problem. In immunocompetent individuals, the microorganism can remain in a latent, non-contagious form, however, it may become active under conditions of immunosuppression. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, which are frequently used for the management of immune-mediated disorders like psoriasis, have been associated with a significantly increased risk of reactivating latent TB. Consequently, international guidelines recommend TB screening and preventive treatment before starting anti-TNF therapy. These recommendations have extended to IL-12/23, IL-17, IL-23 and TYK2 inhibitors under a caution principle, despite their different mechanisms of action. However, current evidence suggests that some of these agents are arguably not associated with an increased risk of TB reactivation or development of TB disease after infection, which calls for a critical reassessment of these guidelines. We have conducted a literature search evaluating the risk of TB reactivation associated with these innovative therapies, integrating findings from both randomized clinical trials and real-world evidence. The identified evidence is limited but the low number of identified cases of reactivation with IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors prompts reconsidering the need for preventive treatment for latent TB in all cases, regardless of biologic class or individual patient's risk of TB reactivation or drug toxicity. This review, along with the clinical insight of a panel of experts on behalf of the SPIN-FRT, led to the development of these consensus recommendations for managing psoriasis treatment in patients with latent TB infection or at risk of TB infection, who are receiving or are intended to receive biologic and non-biologic targeted therapies. These recommendations highlight the need for updates to the existing guidelines, aiming to provide a more differentiated approach that reflects the evolving landscape of psoriasis treatment and its implications for TB management.

Psoriatic arthritis, biologic therapy experience, body mass index, and onset age of psoriasis were independent factors of secukinumab discontinuation in patients with psoriasis. Expert Rev Clin Pharmacol 2024; 17:755-762. [PMID: 38994659 DOI: 10.1080/17512433.2024.2378762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite the availability of several treatments for psoriasis (PsO), factors influencing the persistence of secukinumab (SEC) therapy remain inadequately understood. This study aimed to identify predictors of SEC persistence in PsO. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 109 PsO patients who received SEC treatment at least 1 year. Patients were categorized based on continued or discontinued SEC therapy. RESULTS Among the 109 patients, 64 continued SEC treatment while 45 discontinued. Univariate analysis demonstrated that PsA presence and previous biologic therapy use increased the risk of SEC discontinuation 3.56- and 2.33-fold (p = 0.001, %95 CI: 1.66-7.65 and p = 0.032, %95 CI: 1.08-5.04, respectively). Additionally, the risk of SEC discontinuation is 57% higher in patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 26.5 compared to those with a BMI below 26.5 (p = 0.016, %95 CI: 0.22-0.85). Additionally, patients with PsO onset age below 26.5 years were found to have a 2.93-times higher risk of discontinuing SEC compared to those with PsO onset age above 26.5 years (p = 0.004, %95 CI: 1.40-6.13). CONCLUSION PsA presence, previous biologic therapy experience, BMI, and PsO onset age were identified as independent predictors of SEC discontinuation. These findings underscore the importance of personalized treatment strategies for PsO patients receiving SEC therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of secukinumab in psoriasis patients has been demonstrated in randomized controlled clinical trials. OBJECTIVES The authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of secukinumab in plaque psoriasis patients followed in our clinic. METHODS Data from 101 plaque psoriasis patients who received at least 16 weeks of secukinumab treatment between June 2018 and June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Fifty-three (53%) of the patients were bionaive. PASI-75, -90, -100 response rates were 72%, 50%, 30% respectively at week 16 in all patients. PASI-75 and -90 responses were higher in naive patients at weeks 16 and 28 (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.01, p = 0.01, respectively). The percentage of patients with PASI ≤ 1, ≤ 3, ≤ 5 were 50%, 77%, and 92%, respectively at week 16. They were higher in the naive group than in nonnaive group at weeks 16 and 28 (p = 0.02, p < 0.01, p = 0.05, p = 0.07, p < 0.01, p = 0.03, respectively). At week 52, PASI-75, -90, -100 responses were significantly lower in smoking patients (p = 0.04, p = 0.03, p < 0.01, respectively). The mean duration of secukinumab treatment was 19.80 ± 12.76 months. Secukinumab was discontinued 14 (26.4%) naive patients and 28 (58.3%) nonnaive patients at one occasion during treatment (p < 0.001). The most common adverse event in patients was mucocutaneous candida infection (8%). No hepatitis B or C reactivation and no active or reactivation tuberculosis were observed in any of the patients during the follow-up period. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY This is a single-center retrospective study with relatively few patients including only the Turkish population. CONCLUSION Secukinumab seems to be effective in plaque psoriasis, particularly in bionaive and non-smokers. Moreover, it is safe in patients with inactive hepatitis or tuberculosis.

Abstract
Background: Psoriatic disease, a chronic immune-mediated systemic inflammatory condition, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. The advent of highly targeted biological therapies has transformed treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of selecting the most effective and cost-efficient option. Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO). However, long-term real-world data on its effectiveness and persistence rate are limited. Methods: This retrospective study, conducted across eight Italian dermatology centers, aimed to evaluate the 6-year persistence rate and effectiveness of secukinumab in patients with PsO. Additionally, the study investigated the onset of psoriatic arthritis during treatment. Results: Overall, 166 adult patients were analyzed. Their median age was 53.9 years. The mean BMI was 26.5. Of the 166 patients, 64 were bio-experienced while 102 were bio-naïve. A progressive reduction in PsO severity measured by PASI scores over 6 years of treatment was revealed: the PASI score decreased from a baseline value of 18.1 (±9.1) to 0.7 (±1.6) after 6 years of follow-up. Adverse events, including mucocutaneous fungal infections and cardiovascular disturbances, were reported in 19.9% of patients. The persistence rate was 86.8% at 24 months, decreasing to 66.4% at 72 months. Psoriatic arthritis onset during treatment was observed in 15 (9.0%) of patients. Conclusions: This study highlights the sustained effectiveness and favorable safety profile of secukinumab over 6 years, providing valuable real-world evidence. Understanding the long-term persistence rate and predictors of discontinuation could help clinicians optimize treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes in PsO management. We found that the absence of scalp PsO, no involvement of the genital area and normal weight were the best factors of persistence in secukinumab treatment in the long term.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a lifelong, systemic, immune mediated inflammatory skin condition, affecting 1-3% of the world's population, with an impact on quality of life similar to diseases like cancer or diabetes. Genetics are the single largest risk factor in psoriasis, with Genome-Wide Association (GWAS) studies showing that many psoriasis risk genes lie along the IL-23/Th17 axis. Potential psoriasis risk genes determined through GWAS can be annotated and characterised using functional genomics, allowing the identification of novel drug targets and the repurposing of existing drugs. This review is focused on the IL-23/Th17 axis, providing an insight into key cell types, cytokines, and intracellular signaling pathways involved. This includes examination of currently available biological treatments, time to relapse post drug withdrawal, and rates of primary/secondary drug failure, showing the need for greater understanding of the underlying genetic mechanisms of psoriasis and how they can impact treatment. This could allow for patient stratification towards the treatment most likely to reduce the burden of disease for the longest period possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The comparative efficacy of biologics and small-molecule inhibitors in treating palmoplantar psoriasis (PP) and palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE The aim was to perform a systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare the efficacy of biologics and small-molecule inhibitors for the treatment of PP and PPP. METHODS MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched for eligible studies from inception to May 13, 2023. This NMA was conducted and reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension Statement for Network Meta-Analyses guidelines. Frequentist random-effects models NMA was performed with the surface under the cumulative ranking curve calculated for ranking. Our primary outcome was the proportion of patients achieving a clear/minimal Palmoplantar Psoriasis/Pustulosis Physician Global Assessment score (PPPGA 0/1 or PPPPGA 0/1) response at 12-16 weeks. Secondary outcomes consisted of the percentage of overall improvement in palmoplantar score and of improvement ≥ 75%, at 12-16 weeks. RESULTS The study comprised a total of 29 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), involving 4798 psoriasis patients with palmoplantar diseases. For PP, 16 RCTs with nine different treatments, including adalimumab, apremilast, bimekizumab, etanercept, guselkumab, infliximab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, and ustekinumab were included for the analysis. In the NMA of PP, secukinumab 300 mg ranked highest (odds ratio [OR] 33.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.37-256.86) in achieving PPPGA 0/1, followed by guselkumab 100 mg (OR 18.68, 95% CI 10.07-34.65). In the case of PPP, seven RCTs with six treatments, including apremilast, etanercept, guselkumab, imsidolimab, spesolimab, and ustekinumab, were included for the analysis. In the NMA of PPP, although no treatment demonstrated a significant difference compared to placebo in achieving PPPPGA 0/1, guselkumab 100 mg showed the greatest statistically significant improvement in the palmoplantar score (weighted mean difference 31.73, 95% CI 19.89-43.57) as a secondary outcome. CONCLUSION Among all available biologics and small-molecule inhibitors, secukinumab 300 mg and guselkumab 100 mg had the most favorable efficacy in treating PP and PPP, respectively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis (PsO) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory disease that results in severe outcomes that impact the patient's quality of life and work productivity. We investigated the effectiveness of secukinumab in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) over a 12-month period. METHODS This was a longitudinal, retrospective study of the medical records of 81 patients with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis who had been treated with secukinumab for at least 12 weeks. RESULTS The Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Body Surface Area (BSA) percentage, and Dermatology Quality of Life Index (DLQI) among patients with PsO and PsO-PsA showed a statistically significant decrease from baseline over 12 months by approximately 9.86, 19.3%, and 9.7, respectively (p values < 0.001 for each). Moreover, there was a statistically significant decrease in the overall Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis score (DAPSA) by approximately 22.35 from baseline over 12 months of treatment (p < 0.001). Considering the patients who started secukinumab 12 months or more prior to the study cutoff date, the 12-month retention rate was 85%. CONCLUSION In a Saudi real-world setting, secukinumab proved to be an efficient medication with high efficacy and retention rates.

Exp Dermatol 2024; 33:e14890. [PMID: 37474877 DOI: 10.1111/exd.14890] [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: 03/30/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 07/09/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023]
Abstract
A number of randomized controlled trials and real-world studies have demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis, whereas data on a large cohort of Chinese patients in long-term real-world practice are limited. This was a single-centre, uncontrolled, single-arm, prospective, observational cohort study that included 254 psoriatic patients treated with secukinumab between September 2019 and December 2022. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients, clinical response and adverse events were evaluated. The 75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI 75), PASI 90, and PASI 100 in the 300 mg secukinumab group at 12 weeks were 91.7%, 74.0% and 39.7% respectively, increasing to 94.5%, 74.5% and 47.6% at 52 weeks. High body mass index (BMI), previous exposure to biologic therapies and history of previous conventional systemic therapies were associated with lower rates of PASI response. During the study period, 68 patients reported 83 adverse events (AEs) and the most frequent AEs were eczematous lesions. Up to 14.5% patients withdrew treatment due to disease remission combined with inconvenient transportation during the COVID-19 pandemic at 52 weeks. The rate of psoriasis exacerbation after COVID-19 infection in patients treated with secukinumab was 24.3% (17/70). This real-world study confirmed the high effectiveness of secukinumab in Chinese patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, with an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract
Scalp psoriasis is a common manifestation of psoriasis that significantly impacts a patient's quality of life. About 80% of cases of psoriasis involve the scalp, making it the most frequently affected area of the body. The treatment of scalp psoriasis is particularly crucial because of its hard-to-treat nature and substantial adverse impacts on overall well-being. Along with the physical symptoms of discomfort and itching, psoriasis, especially when it affects the scalp, can cause severe psychological damage. Treating scalp psoriasis can be challenging due to its location and associated symptoms, such as scaling and pruritus, which is why various drugs have become widely used for refractory cases. Topical treatments like corticosteroids and vitamin D analogs manage scalp psoriasis by reducing inflammation and regulating skin cell growth. Tar-based shampoos, salicylic acid solutions, and moisturizers control scaling. Phototherapy with UVB light reduces inflammation. Severe cases may require systemic medications such as oral retinoids and immunosuppressants. While various therapies are accessible for scalp psoriasis, concerns arise due to their limited advantages and the absence of controlled studies assessing their effectiveness. Considering these challenges, there is a clear demand for innovative approaches to address this condition effectively. Recent advancements in topical therapies, phototherapy, systemic agents, and complementary therapies have shown promising results in managing scalp psoriasis. Also, the advent of biologics, specifically anti-IL-17 and anti-IL-23 drugs for scalp psoriasis, has seen significant improvements. The review highlights the lack of well-tolerated and effective treatments for scalp psoriasis and underscores the importance of further research in this area. The objective of this review is to clarify the different treatment options currently available or being investigated in clinical trials for managing scalp psoriasis.

Risk of candidiasis associated with interleukin-17 inhibitors: Implications and management. Mycology 2023; 15:30-44. [PMID: 38558839 PMCID: PMC10977001 DOI: 10.1080/21501203.2023.2265664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2024] Open
Abstract
The application of interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors, including secukinumab, ixekizumab, brodalumab, and bimekizumab, are associated with elevated risk of candidiasis. These medications interfere with the IL-17 pathway, which is essential for maintaining mucosal barriers and coordinating the immune response against Candida species. The observational data and clinical trials demonstrate the increased incidence of candidiasis in individuals treated with IL-17 inhibitors. Brodalumab and bimekizumab pose a greater risk than secukinumab in eliciting candidiasis, whereas the data regarding ixekizumab are equivocal. Higher doses and prolonged treatment duration of IL-17 inhibitors increase the risk of candidiasis by compromising the immune response against Candida species. Prior to prescribing IL-17 inhibitors, healthcare professionals should comprehensively evaluate patients' medical histories and assess their risk factors. Patients should be educated on the signs and symptoms of candidiasis to facilitate early detection and intervention. Future research should focus on identifying the risk factors associated with candidiasis in patients receiving IL-17 inhibitors. Prospective studies and long-term surveillance are required to explore the impact of specific inhibitors on the incidence and severity of candidiasis and to evaluate the effectiveness of combination therapies, such as concurrent use of IL-17 inhibitors and prophylactic antifungal agents.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease with an established genetic background. The HLA-Cw*06 allele and different polymorphisms in genes involved in inflammatory responses and keratinocyte proliferation have been associated with the development of the disease. Despite the effectiveness and safety of psoriasis treatment, a significant percentage of patients still do not achieve adequate disease control. Pharmacogenetic and pharmacogenomic studies on how genetic variations affect drug efficacy and toxicity could provide important clues in this respect. This comprehensive review assessed the available evidence for the role that those different genetic variations may play in the response to psoriasis treatment. One hundred fourteen articles were included in this qualitative synthesis. VDR gene polymorphisms may influence the response to topical vitamin D analogs and phototherapy. Variations affecting the ABC transporter seem to play a role in methotrexate and cyclosporine outcomes. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms affecting different genes are involved with anti-TNF-α response modulation (TNF-α, TNFRSF1A, TNFRSF1B, TNFAIP3, FCGR2A, FCGR3A, IL-17F, IL-17R, and IL-23R, among others) with conflicting results. HLA-Cw*06 has been the most extensively studied allele, although it has only been robustly related to the response to ustekinumab. However, further research is needed to firmly establish the usefulness of these genetic biomarkers in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis (PsO), an immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder, has substantial negative impact on patients' quality of life. Secukinumab, an approved treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque PsO, has an established long-term efficacy and safety profile. This study aims to provide real-world evidence of long-term effectiveness and retention rate of secukinumab in Vietnamese patients with PsO. METHODS This retrospective, observational study collected medical records of adult patients with moderate-to-severe PsO receiving secukinumab treatment from Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Dermato-Venereology. The primary objective was to evaluate secukinumab effectiveness in PsO as measured by 75% improvement in psoriasis area and severity index (PASI 75) at month 12. Secondary objectives were PASI 90/100, absolute PASI ≤ 3 and ≤ 5, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and retention rate over 48 months. RESULTS In total, 232 patients with moderate-to-severe PsO met inclusion criteria; 68.1% were male, with median age and age of onset of 39 and 27.5 years, respectively. Median time from onset of PsO to secukinumab treatment was 120 months, 95.3% were prior biologics/disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs naive and 41.4% received concomitant therapies for PsO; 82.3% had national insurance coverage. At month 12, 93.9% of patients achieved PASI 75 (primary endpoint); 80.2/56.9% achieved PASI 90/100; 91.4 and 84.8% patients achieved absolute PASI ≤ 5 and ≤ 3, respectively. The response was sustained over 48 months, with 91.9%/78.0%/52.0% of patients achieving PASI 75/90/100, 89.5% and 82.1% patients achieving absolute PASI ≤ 5 and ≤ 3, respectively. At month 12, 61.4% of patients achieved DLQI 0/1 which was sustained up to month 48 (69.2%). Secukinumab adherence rate of 84.9% at month 12 dropped to 34.2% at month 48. Patients receiving concomitant therapy and national insurance showed higher adherence rate. CONCLUSION Secukinumab demonstrated long-term effectiveness in real-world Vietnamese patients with moderate-to-severe PsO, with treatment adherence being higher in patients having concomitant therapies and national insurance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy and safety of secukinumab in patients with psoriasis has been established in randomised clinical trials. However, data on effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Latin American real-world settings are scarce. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in real-world settings in patients with psoriasis in Latin America. METHODS PURE is an ongoing multinational, 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 approved therapies. The study enrolled (1:1) patients treated with secukinumab versus other approved therapies (other Tx) per local standard of care from 81 community- and hospital-based speciality sites (21 in Latin America). Here, we report effectiveness and safety outcomes with secukinumab and other Tx for plaque psoriasis for up to 12 months in a Latin American population. RESULTS Overall, 187 patients were included in the analysis, 89 of whom initiated secukinumab treatment and 98 of whom received other Tx. At month 12, 84.4%, 71.1% and 53.3% of patients treated with secukinumab achieved Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75/90/100, respectively, compared with 66.7%, 47.9% and 29.2% of patients who received other Tx. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) 0/1 responders in secukinumab versus other Tx were 78.3% versus 36.7% at month 3 and 81.8% versus 66.7% at month 12, respectively. Overall, the proportion of patients achieving Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) 0/1 improved from 6.9% at baseline to 76.5% at month 12 in patients treated with secukinumab versus 5.6% at baseline to 54.5% at month 12 in patients on other Tx. No unexpected adverse events were reported during the 12-month observation period. CONCLUSION Secukinumab demonstrated real-world effectiveness and improved dermatology quality-of-life in chronic plaque psoriasis patients from Latin America. TRIAL REGISTRATION PURE: NCT02786186.

Abstract
Secukinumab is a recombinant, fully human monoclonal anti-IL-17A antibody approved to treat moderate-to-severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Its effectiveness and safety have been confirmed, but a gradual increase in the secukinumab dosing interval has not been investigated. To assess the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of gradually increasing the secukinumab dosing interval; the interval duration was determined by changes in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index scores. Patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis received secukinumab 300 mg subcutaneously at baseline and weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3. At week 4, the improvement from baseline PASI guided the next injection time until week 36. In total, 83 patients were recruited. PASI 75 was achieved by 80%, 96%, and 95% of patients at weeks 4, 12, and 36, respectively. PASI 90 was achieved by 54%, 95%, and 84% of patients at weeks 4, 12, and 36, respectively. PASI 100 was achieved by 28%, 89%, and 68% of patients at weeks 4, 12, and 36, respectively. The average PASI score (1.05 ± 1.83) was significantly lower at week 36 than at baseline. Most patients reached PASI 75 at week 36 in our modified study. This study may provide information for future biotherapies.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Spanish patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a daily practice setting. Nationwide multicenter, observational, retrospective, non-interventional, single-cohort study including patients who initiated treatment with secukinumab in daily clinical practice conditions. Subjects were followed for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 24 months. Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), Body Surface Area and Physician's Global Assessments were collected at baseline and months 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 during treatment. Adverse events and reasons for secukinumab withdrawal were collected and classified for analyses. A total of 384 patients were enrolled in the study. Median PASI declined rapidly from 14.3 at baseline to 2.7 at month 3, 2.1 at month 12, and remained low (2.8) at month 24. Within the group of patients with PASI ≥10 at baseline (n = 278), 58.3%, 60.4% and 56.5% achieved a PASI90 response at months 3, 12 and 24, respectively. As for absolute PASI, 86.5%, 69.5%, 42.7% and 37% achieved PASI <5, < 3, < 1 and 0, respectively, at month 3. Secukinumab was more effective in biologic-naïve patients and in those with lower Body Mass Index. Secukinumab presented a good long-term safety profile. Secukinumab was effective and safe in a routine clinical setting, in a large cohort of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, in the short-, medium- and long-term (up to 24 months).

Abstract
The IL-17 signalling pathway is a major target in treatment of plaque psoriasis. IL-17 signalling contributes to chronic inflammation and epidermal hyperplasia seen in psoriatic lesions. Blocking the IL-17 signalling cascade is an effective method in treating this disease. However, IL-17 also plays a role in the immunological protection against fungal infections and therefore, patients on IL-17 biologics experience an increased rate of fungal infections, specifically Candida albicans. It is prudent that patients and physicians are aware of this risk and understand how to recognize and manage Candida infections. In this review, we examine the Candida infection rates associated with IL-17 biologics, both in clinical trials and real-world practice. We discuss common presentations associated with various types of candidiasis and propose a recommended management approach to treating these infections.

Secukinumab treatment showed improved quality of life in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis in Australia: Results from the HOPE study. Australas J Dermatol 2022; 63:312-320. [PMID: 35816576 PMCID: PMC9542143 DOI: 10.1111/ajd.13893] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis imposes a disease burden that can have a profound negative impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). HOPE was the first non-interventional study conducted in patients with severe chronic plaque psoriasis in Australia that evaluated health-related QoL in response to treatment with secukinumab. METHODS HOPE was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicentre, non-interventional, exploratory study in patients with severe chronic plaque psoriasis in Australia. The study investigated the change in QoL, using the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), Assessment Quality of Life-8 Dimension questionnaire (AQoL-8D) and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), and safety profile in response to treatment with secukinumab 300 mg SC weekly for 4 weeks followed by monthly maintenance for 58 weeks. RESULTS At Week 14, the mean percentage reduction in total DLQI score from baseline was -82.4% (n = 65), which indicates a substantial improvement in QoL. This level of improvement was sustained up to Week ≥58, with a mean percentage change of -87.4%. The mean percentage change from baseline for AQoL-8D weighted total score decreased from Week 14 (41.1%) to Week 58 (35.2%), indicating an improvement in patients' QoL. A high proportion of patients achieved PASI 75/90/100 responses at Week 14 (97.0%/71.2%/34.8%), with rates sustained up to Week ≥58 (100%/87.9%/43.1%). The safety profile of secukinumab was favourable, with no cumulative or unexpected safety concerns. CONCLUSION Secukinumab treatment demonstrated a striking improvement in patients' QoL in the HOPE study, the first real-world study in patients with severe chronic plaque psoriasis in the Australian clinical setting.

Abstract
As aberrant IL-17 signaling plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis, biologic agents targeting this pathway have become an important weapon against this disease. Some biologic agents such as IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab and ixekizumab) and the IL-17 receptor (IL17R) inhibitor (brodalumab) are relatively safe, tolerable and efficacious drugs. Nevertheless, side effects of IL-17 pathway inhibition occur. This review focuses on the dermatological manifestations linked to these treatments. Paradoxical psoriasis and atopic-like eczema may be the most common cutaneous adverse events, while manifestations such as neutrophilic dermatoses, hypersensitivity reactions, lichenoid eruptions, vasculitides, bullous diseases, lupus-like reactions, pigmentation disorders, adnexal diseases and granulomatous dermatoses have been described less frequently.

Abstract
Since psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic inflammatory disease, patients may experience a drug failure also with very effective drugs (i.e., secukinumab) and, consequently, dermatologists have two therapeutic options: switching or perform a combination therapy (rescue therapy) to save the drug that had decreased its efficacy. At the moment no studies focused on combination/rescue therapy of secukinumab, so we performed a 52-weeks multicenter retrospective observational study that involved 40 subjects with plaque psoriasis that experienced a secondary failure and were treated with combination therapy (ciclosporin (n = 11), MTX (n = 15), NB-UVB (n = 7) and apremilast (n = 7)). After 16 weeks of rescue/combination therapy, PASI and a DLQI varied respectively from 8 [7.0-9.0] and 13 [12.0-15.0], to 3 [2.8-4.0] and 3 [2.0-3.3]), suggesting a significant improvement of daily functionality and quality of life. Results were maintained at 52 weeks. No side effects were experienced during the study. Secukinumab remains a safety and effective drug for PsO patients also in the IL-23 and JAK inhibitors era. The rescue therapy is a valid therapeutic option in case of secukinumab secondary failure.

Abstract
EffeCtiveness of biologic treAtmeNts for plaque psOriasis in Italy: An obserVAtional (CANOVA) study was aimed at providing real-world evidence of the effectiveness of biologics in Italian patients with moderate-severe psoriasis. It was an observational, retro-prospective cohort study conducted in 17 Italian dermatology clinics. Adult patients with moderate-severe plaque psoriasis, who started a biologic treatment between 24 weeks and 24 months before enrolment, were included. With a follow-up visit at 6 months after enrolment, each patient had at least 12 months of observation. The primary objective was to describe the clinical response rates (PASI 75) after 16/24/52 weeks from biologic treatment start. Secondary outcomes were sustained response, quality of life, and treatment satisfaction. Of the 669 eligible patients (64% males), 52% were naïve to biologics, though a mean duration of psoriasis since first diagnosis of 18.6 years (SD 13.2). The most frequently prescribed biologics were secukinumab (41%), ustekinumab (25%), TNF-inhibitors (22%) and ixekizumab (12%). PASI 75 was achieved by 86% of patients (95% CI: 82%-89%) at 16 weeks, 90% (87%-93%) at 24 weeks, and 91% (89%-94%) at 52 weeks. Patients achieving PASI 90 and PASI 100 at 52 weeks were 75% (71%-79%) and 53% (49%-57%), respectively. Sustained PASI 75 response after 1 year from treatment start was achieved by 78% (74%-82%) of patients. Mean DLQI total score was 2.3 (SD 3.9) at enrollment and decreased at the final visit to 1.8 (3.6). A high level of treatment satisfaction was expressed by patients over the study period. This large real-world study confirms in the clinical practice the good effectiveness and acceptability of biologics in psoriasis patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interleukin 17 is a proinflammatory cytokine considered to play a significant role in the immunopathogenesis of many chronic immune-mediated disorders. Interleukin 17 inhibitors provide an excellent treatment option for patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis. However, Interleukin 17 inhibitors have been suspected of worsening or triggering new-onset inflammatory bowel disease. AREAS COVERED A literature search was conducted until March 2021 to investigate reporting prevalence, and characteristics of all gastroenterological adverse events in patients treated with Interleukin 17 inhibitors. One hundred and six clinical randomized trials were included, involving 40,053 patients. Inflammatory bowel disease cases were reported in 0.4% of patients exposed to Interleukin 17 inhibitors. The most frequent other gastrointestinal adverse events were diarrhea (2.5%), nausea or vomiting (0.7%), and gastroenteritis (0.2%). Sixty-one uncontrolled or retrospective studies were included, involving 16,791 patients. Sixty (0.36%) inflammatory bowel disease cases were reported, 0.6% of patients reported other gastrointestinal adverse events. EXPERT OPINION Interleukin 17 inhibitors are safe and effective in the treatment of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Low incidence rate of developing new-onset inflammatory bowel disease or exacerbating preexisting inflammatory bowel disease with anti-IL-17 agents has been reported. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of these concerns when considering this therapy.

Abstract
Objective: Our pharmacogenomic study evaluated the influence of the presence/absence of genetic variants of psoriasis-risk loci on the clinical response to secukinumab. Differences in the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) pattern characterizing HLA-Cw6+ or HLA-Cw6- patient subpopulations, showing high or low responses to secukinumab, were also analyzed. Methods: 417 SNPs were analyzed by Next-Generation Sequencing technology, in a cohort of 62 psoriatic patients and undergone secukinumab treatment. Univariate regression analysis was employed to examine the association between SNP and clinical response to secukinumab. Multivariate analysis was also performed to assess multivariate differences in SNP pattern of HLA-Cw6+ or HLA-Cw6- patients showing high or low responses to secukinumab. Results: Eight SNPs in HLA-C and upstream region (rs13207315, rs6900444, rs12189871, rs12191877, rs4406273, and rs10484554), including HLA-Cw6 classical allele (rs1131118), and three in MICB-DT (rs9267325), DDX58 (rs34085293) and TYK2 (rs2304255) genes, associating with excellent response to secukinumab were identified. Importantly, rs34085293 or rs2304255 SNP status defined a subgroup of super-responder patients. We also found that HLA-Cw6+ and HLA-Cw6- patients carried out specific patterns of SNPs associating with different responses to secukinumab. Conclusion: Assessment of HLA-Cw6, together with other allelic variants of genes, could be helpful to define patients which better benefit from anti-IL-17 therapy.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic immunologic disorder associated with decreased quality of life and numerous co-morbidities, including psoriatic arthritis and cardiovascular disease. Secukinumab, a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody, selectively binds IL-17A and is approved by the US FDA and European Medicines Agency for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This review examines the efficacy and safety of secukinumab for the treatment of psoriasis using the literature retrieved from the PubMed database. In clinical trials, treatment with secukinumab led to rapid and sustained improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores, with PASI 90 response rates up to 68.5% at 5 years. Long-term clinical trial and real-world data have established secukinumab as a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract
The tuberculosis (TB) burden is high in China, with a 32% prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in Beijing. Screening for LTBI and the chemoprophylaxis of positive patients are recommended prior to biologic therapy. To evaluate the TB-related safety of secukinumab (SEC) in a cohort of plaque psoriasis patients with LTBI receiving different treatments. Plaque psoriasis patients eligible for SEC treatment were screened for TB. LTBI patients (QuantiFeron-TB test positive, QFT+) receiving SEC were closely monitored by chest radiograph, ESR or hs-CRP, and blood counts every 12 to 20 weeks for active TB infection. QFT_patients receiving SEC treatment were screened for LTBI every 6 to 12 months. Of 42 patients treated with SEC, 19 were QFT+ (45.24%). A QFT_patient became QFT+ after 6 months treatment. Two patients started SEC treatment from 2015 to 2016 and were followed up 268 and 216 weeks later, respectively. Three patients received chemoprophylaxis, 17 did not because of safety concerns or being unable to complete the process. During the 16- to 268-week follow-up, no signs of TB reactivation were observed in the 20 LTBI patients receiving SEC. Plaque psoriasis patients with LTBI who received no chemoprophylaxis could be safely treated with SEC.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coranovirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has become an important health-care issue worldwide. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has also raised concerns among patients with inflammatory rheumatic conditions and their treating physicians. There are emerging data regarding the potential risks of SARS-CoV-2 for this particular patient group. However, less is known with regard to the course of COVID-19 among patients receiving IL-17 inhibitors. The aim of the current article is to review the growing body of knowledge on the course/management of COVID-19 in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases by presenting a SARS-CoV-2 infected case with ankylosing spondylitis under secukinumab therapy. A 61-year old patient with ankylosing spondylitis who was on secukinumab therapy for 5 months admitted with newly onset fever and gastrointestinal complaints. After being hospitalized, she developed respiratory manifestations with focal pulmonary ground-glass opacities and multiple nodular densities in both lungs. The patient was tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Substantial clinical improvement was obtained following a management plan, which included tocilizumab, hydroxychloroquine, prednisolone and enoxaparin sodium. PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases were searched by using relevant keywords and their combinations. The literature search revealed four articles reporting the clinical course of COVID-19 in seven rheumatic patients on secukinumab. The clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection was mild in most of these patients, while one of them experienced severe COVID-19. Interleukin-17 has been related to the hyperinflammatory state in COVID-19 and IL-17 inhibitors were presented as promising targets for the prevention of aberrant inflammation and acute respiratory distress in COVID-19. However, this hypothesis still remains to be proved. Further studies are warranted in order to test the benefits and risks of IL-inhibitors in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals.

Abstract
Background Psoriasis patients carry an increased risk for associated comorbidities. Dermatologists have to be aware of the effects of systemic treatments not only on psoriasis but also on co‐occurring diseases. In case of other coexisting inflammatory diseases, the right psoriasis treatment may improve both disorders. For infectious and malignant disorders, some treatments have to be avoided as they may be harmful. Objective The primary objective of this project was to collect evidence for the creation of practice guidelines for systemic treatment of psoriasis (BETA‐PSO: Belgian Evidence‐based Treatment Advice in Psoriasis). Methods Evidence‐based recommendations were formulated using a quasi‐Delphi methodology after a systematic search of the literature and a consensus procedure involving eight psoriasis experts. Results Recommendations are given on the use of systemic treatment in psoriatic arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, demyelinating disorders, hepatitis B and C, HIV and cancer. Conclusion This expert opinion is a practical guide for dermatologists when handling psoriasis patients with these specific conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple biologics for psoriasis exist, and interleukin (IL) 17 inhibitors are among those with the best efficacy. However, switching treatment is often required at some point, and intraclass switch of IL-17 inhibitors is not well investigated. OBJECTIVES To determine the efficacy of a second IL-17 inhibitor in patients with psoriasis. METHODS Two authors independently searched the databases PubMed and EMBASE for studies reporting on efficacy of IL-17 inhibitors in patients with psoriasis previously exposed to another IL-17 inhibitor. The study was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULTS In total, 14 publications comprising 655 patients were included. The proportion of patients achieving a reduction of 75%, 90%, and 100% in Psoriasis Area Severity Index were, respectively, 74.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 63.9-84.0), 69.4% (95% CI, 53.2-83.4), and 46.4 (95% CI, 30.5-62.7) after short-term treatment (weeks 9, 12, and 16 combined). LIMITATIONS Most studies included were on ixekizumab and were retrospective chart reviews with no information on the response to the previous IL-17 inhibitor. CONCLUSION Previous treatment with an IL-17 inhibitor does not appear to affect the efficacy of another IL-17 inhibitor in the treatment of psoriasis. However, further prospective studies are needed.
