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
Psoriasis is a global health concern, and biological therapies have proven to be highly effective in treating psoriatic patients in many countries. We performed a bibliometric analysis of current research on biological agents for the treatments of psoriasis, investigating research patterns and public interest in this area. We conducted a thorough review of articles on biological agents for psoriasis in the Web of Science Core Collection spanning from 2000 to 2022. Our study involved examining the distribution of these articles based on publication year, affiliations, countries, authors, and journals. To visualize this data effectively, we employed bibliometric tools like CiteSpace and the R package bibliometrix. Our analysis encompassed 8,047 publications. The number of papers published sharply increased from 2009, either reaching its peak in 2022 or not yet reaching it. The United States (n = 2,292), Kristian Reich (n = 166), and British Journal of Dermatology (n = 368) emerged as the top countries, author, and journal, respectively, in terms of publication productivity. The burst references predominantly focused on evaluating the safety and efficacy of biological treatments. The keyword citation network identified 11 clusters, with research themes revolving around "double blind", "efficacy", "therapy", "safety", and "psoriatic arthritis" were the research focuses. Additionally, potential future research areas such as "multicenter," "drug survival," and "severity" were emphasized. This study sheds light on the evolving research landscape and public interest in biological agents for psoriasis. The results suggest rapid expansion in this field, with the United States at the forefront. Enhanced international collaboration is recommended, and forthcoming research endeavors may concentrate on predicting treatment outcomes and adverse effects. Researching new biological agents, broadening the indications for biological agent treatment, and creating personalized treatment plans may pave the way for further research.

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.

Quality of reporting and concordance between sources of adverse events in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis: a cross-sectional study of RCTs from a Cochrane systematic review. J Clin Epidemiol 2024; 173:111406. [PMID: 38825170 DOI: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2024.111406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 05/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Incomplete reporting of safety outcomes in quality and availability of safety reporting in published articles of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were described in different medical areas. The number of RCTs assessing systemic treatments for psoriasis has increased considerably. Complete and precise reporting of safety is mandatory for the efficacy/harms balance evaluation. We aimed to assess the quality and availability of safety reporting in published RCTs assessing systemic treatments for psoriasis, as well as the concordance of data between published trials and ClinicalTrials.gov (CT). STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING We included all RCTs in adults initiated after September 2009, assessing systemic psoriasis treatments compared with placebo or with an active comparator. All trials were selected in duplicate by 2 independent authors from the latest search of the dedicated Cochrane review. We described quality of safety reporting for all published RCTs, using a modified Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials harms scale by using descriptive analysis, and a composite score of 3 key items of safety report. For each RCT, data on adverse events (AEs)/serious AEs (SAEs) were extracted from the publication and CT: total number of AEs/SAEs, patients with AEs/SAEs, SAEs by system organ class classification and deaths. These data were compared between sources for each RCT. RESULTS In total, 128 trials were included in the analysis of reporting quality, and 76 in the analysis of data concordance between sources. The median number of reported Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials harms items per article was 9 out of 18 (IQR 7-10), and mean number was 8.39 (SD = 3.02). Items in the methods section were the least frequently reported. The proportion of RCTs reporting the number of SAEs and death were significantly higher on CT than in the published article ((100% (76/76) vs 88.2%, McNemar test, P < .0016). At least 1 discrepancy between sources for SAE safety data was found in 30/76 (39.5%) RCTs. CONCLUSION Shortcomings and gaps in the quality of safety reporting in publications of RCTs of systemic psoriasis treatments have been identified. A lack of data in published articles and discrepancies between published articles and CT data complete this finding.

Abstract
The quantity and quality of the adipose tissue is altered in obesity: hypertrophy of adipocytes, decrease in expandability, fibrosis, production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokines, inflammatory infiltration by pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages and T lymphocytes. Excess adipose tissue and obesity are associated with low-grade inflammation that can aggravate chronic inflammatory diseases, decrease treatment efficacy, contribute to the development of comorbidities, and of the disease in its preclinical phase. Obesity increases the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis with a weight-dose effect. It is also a predictor of worse response to treatment, in particular TNF inhibitors. Weight loss induced by bariatric surgery decreases the risk of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and improves disease activity and remission in RA. A 5% weight loss through a low-calorie diet improves the response to TNF inhibitors in psoriatic arthritis, losing even more weight improves the response even more. In RA, the beneficial effect of weight loss from a low-calorie diet on disease activity has been reported in a few observational studies but has not been demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial. Screening and management of obesity are part of the dietary recommendations of the French Society for Rheumatology in patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Of course, this should be combined with other lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation, higher food quality, increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behavior.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of obesity on the treatment response to secukinumab and drug survival rate in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS We performed an observational cohort study that included AS patients based on the biological drug database in Turkey (TURKBIO) Registry between 2018 and 2021. The patients were divided into three groups: normal [body mass index (BMI) < 25 kg/m2], overweight (BMI: 25-30 kg/m2), and obese (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2). Disease activity was evaluated at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months. Drug retention rates at 12 months were also investigated. RESULTS There were 166 AS patients using secukinumab (56.6% male, mean age: 44.9 ± 11.6 years). The median follow-up time was 17.2 (3-33.2) months. Forty-eight (28.9%) patients were obese. The mean age was higher in the obese group than in others (P = .003). There was no statistically significant difference in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index 50, Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society 20 (ASAS20), ASAS40, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) low disease activity, and ASDAS clinically important improvement responses between the three groups at 3, 6, and 12 months, although they were numerically lower in obese patients. Drug retention rates at 12 months were similar in all groups (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that obesity did not affect secukinumab treatment response and drug retention in AS patients.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a common inflammatory immune disorder due to chronic activation of the adaptive and innate immune responses. Therapies for psoriasis target reducing inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-17, and interleukin-22. Patients with inflammatory disorders have reduced metabolism by cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes due to psoriasis also have an impact on reaching therapeutic concentrations of the drug. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data help determine the safety and clinical considerations necessary when utilizing drugs for plaque psoriasis. A literature search was performed on PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE for the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data of oral therapies and biologics utilized for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The findings from the literature search were organized into two sections: oral therapies and biologics. The pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters in healthy patients, patients with psoriasis, and special populations are discussed in each section. The oral therapies described in this review include methotrexate, cyclosporine, apremilast, tofacitinib, and deucravacitinib. Biologics include tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, interleukin-17 inhibitors, ustekinumab, and interleukin-23 inhibitors. Clinical considerations for these therapies include drug toxicities, dosing frequency, and anti-drug antibodies. Methotrexate and cyclosporine have a risk for hepatoxicity and renal impairment, respectively. Moreover, drugs metabolized via cytochrome P450, including tofacitinib and apremilast have decreased clearance in patients with psoriasis, requiring dose adjustments. Patients treated with therapies such as adalimumab can develop anti-drug antibodies that reduce the long-term efficacy of the drug. Additionally, overweight patients benefit from more frequent dosing to achieve better psoriasis clearance.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody products are an increasing portion of novel drug approvals. The labeling of initial drug approvals frequently involves body-size-based rather than fixed-dose administration regimens for adults without clear rationale for doing so. This presents challenges when prescribing these products for patients with extremes of body habitus who constitute a small portion of enrollment in pre-approval investigations. Fixed-dose regimens allow for standardized preparation with the potential to reduce the risk of calculation errors, drug waste, and make home administration more practical. Fixed-dose rather than body-size-based monoclonal antibody regimens should serve as the initial approach in early phase 1 clinical trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical trials have shown promising results for interleukin-23 inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis. The drugs have been used in clinical practice since 2017. OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug survival and effectiveness of interleukin-23 inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in a real-world setting. METHODS The study was a retrospective analysis of patients treated with either guselkumab, tildrakizumab, or risankizumab at the Department of Dermatology, Aarhus University Hospital, during the period from June 11 2018, to July 14 2021. RESULTS A total of 80 patients were included. During the study, 19 patients discontinued treatment with an interleukin-23 inhibitor, and mean treatment duration (SD) was 61.4 weeks (43.7). Seventy-six patients (95%) had previous use of ≥1 biologic. One-year drug survival was 81.0%. Among patients, 64.3% achieved a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≤ 2 at weeks 12-17; 61.3%, at weeks 40-60. There was no statistically significant difference between the drugs regarding the chance of achieving PASI ≤ 2 (p>.05). Twenty-two patients (27.5%) had PsA. Among these, 40.9% and 36.4% achieved complete remission and partial remission, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Interleukin-23 inhibitors appear to have high and similar drug survival and effectiveness in patients with difficult-to-treat psoriasis and PsA.

Tada Y, Morita A, Yamanaka K, Kono M, Imafuku S, Okubo Y, Yamazaki F, Kawamura T, Itakura A, Ohtsuki M. Real-world retention rates and effectiveness of secukinumab in psoriasis: Results from a multicenter cohort study (RAILWAY). J Dermatol 2023; 50:1415-1426. [PMID: 37615243 DOI: 10.1111/1346-8138.16926] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023]
Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease with a high negative impact on patient's quality of life. Secukinumab, the first interleukin 17A inhibitor, has been used for the systemic treatment of psoriasis, but its long-term, real-world retention rates in Japan have not been fully investigated. In this multicenter, noninterventional, retrospective chart review study, the retention rate of secukinumab and its effectiveness among patients with psoriasis in Japan was evaluated up to 5 years. Data of patients who received secukinumab after December 26, 2014, were collected from medical charts obtained from seven sites, all certified for biologics use by the Japanese Dermatological Association. Patient characteristics, secukinumab retention, factors affecting secukinumab retention, reason for drug discontinuation, and effectiveness data were collected. The primary end point was secukinumab retention rate at week 52. A total of 123 patients were included in the analysis. Of these, 27 patients discontinued secukinumab by week 52, yielding a 78.0% (95% confidence interval, 69.6-84.4) retention rate at week 52. For patients whose Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was available, mean ± standard deviation PASI at baseline and at week 52 were 9.21 ± 7.37 and 1.4 ± 2.6, respectively. During the entire study period, "insufficient response" was the most common reason for discontinuation, and "history of biologics use" was a factor significantly associated with secukinumab discontinuation (hazard ratio, 1.72; p = 0.018). This study demonstrates the real-world retention rate and effectiveness of secukinumab in patients with psoriasis in Japan for up to 5 years and provides clinical insights into psoriasis treatment strategies.

Secukinumab versus guselkumab in the complete resolution of ustekinumab-resistant psoriatic plaques: The ARROW study. Exp Dermatol 2023; 32:1834-1847. [PMID: 37272375 DOI: 10.1111/exd.14828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-23-independent IL-17A production has been suggested to be involved in persistent manifestations of psoriatic disease, including anti-IL-12/23-refractory psoriatic plaques; this study aimed to test this hypothesis by investigating the clinical and molecular effects of direct IL-17A (with secukinumab) versus selective IL-23 inhibition (with guselkumab) in patients with anti-IL-12/23 (ustekinumab)-refractory psoriatic plaques. A 16-week, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, Phase IIa study (ARROW, NCT03553823) was conducted in patients with ≥1 active psoriatic plaque (total clinical score [TCS] ≥6) at screening despite treatment with ustekinumab, and a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score 1-10. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive secukinumab 300 mg (n = 20) or guselkumab 100 mg (n = 20). Biopsies from one refractory ('target plaque') were obtained at baseline and Week 16. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients whose ustekinumab-refractory target plaque achieved clear/almost clear status (TCS 0-2) at Week 16. Transcriptomic and histological analyses were conducted on target plaques to determine the molecular effects of direct IL-17A versus selective IL-23 inhibition. At Week 16, target plaque clear/almost clear status was achieved in 60.0% of patients treated with secukinumab versus 40.0% of patients treated with guselkumab (p = 0.1715). Molecular analyses identified that secukinumab modulated a greater proportion of psoriasis disease transcriptome genes (72.1% vs. 48.0%) and resulted in more histological responders (72.2% vs. 53.3%) compared with guselkumab. Secukinumab demonstrated a greater clinical and molecular effect on ustekinumab-refractory psoriatic plaques versus guselkumab. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that IL-23-independent IL-17 mechanisms may be relevant to the inflammation driving refractory manifestations of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disease with either skin or joints manifestations, or both, and it has a major impact on quality of life. Although there is currently no cure for psoriasis, various treatment strategies allow sustained control of disease signs and symptoms. The relative benefit of these treatments remains unclear due to the limited number of trials comparing them directly head-to-head, which is why we chose to conduct a network meta-analysis. OBJECTIVES To compare the benefits and harms of non-biological systemic agents, small molecules, and biologics for people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis using a network meta-analysis, and to provide a ranking of these treatments according to their benefits and harms. SEARCH METHODS For this update of the living systematic review, we updated our searches of the following databases monthly to October 2022: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, and Embase. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of systemic treatments in adults over 18 years with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, at any stage of treatment, compared to placebo or another active agent. The primary outcomes were: proportion of participants who achieved clear or almost clear skin, that is, at least Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90; proportion of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs) at induction phase (8 to 24 weeks after randomisation). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We conducted duplicate study selection, data extraction, risk of bias assessment, and analyses. We synthesised data using pairwise and network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare treatments and rank them according to effectiveness (PASI 90 score) and acceptability (inverse of SAEs). We assessed the certainty of NMA evidence for the two primary outcomes and all comparisons using CINeMA, as very low, low, moderate, or high. We contacted study authors when data were unclear or missing. We used the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) to infer treatment hierarchy, from 0% (worst for effectiveness or safety) to 100% (best for effectiveness or safety). MAIN RESULTS This update includes an additional 12 studies, taking the total number of included studies to 179, and randomised participants to 62,339, 67.1% men, mainly recruited from hospitals. Average age was 44.6 years, mean PASI score at baseline was 20.4 (range: 9.5 to 39). Most studies were placebo-controlled (56%). We assessed a total of 20 treatments. Most (152) trials were multicentric (two to 231 centres). One-third of the studies (65/179) had high risk of bias, 24 unclear risk, and most (90) low risk. Most studies (138/179) declared funding by a pharmaceutical company, and 24 studies did not report a funding source. Network meta-analysis at class level showed that all interventions (non-biological systemic agents, small molecules, and biological treatments) showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than placebo. Anti-IL17 treatment showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 compared to all the interventions. Biologic treatments anti-IL17, anti-IL12/23, anti-IL23, and anti-TNF alpha showed a higher proportion of patients reaching PASI 90 than the non-biological systemic agents. For reaching PASI 90, the most effective drugs when compared to placebo were (SUCRA rank order, all high-certainty evidence): infliximab (risk ratio (RR) 49.16, 95% CI 20.49 to 117.95), bimekizumab (RR 27.86, 95% CI 23.56 to 32.94), ixekizumab (RR 27.35, 95% CI 23.15 to 32.29), risankizumab (RR 26.16, 95% CI 22.03 to 31.07). Clinical effectiveness of these drugs was similar when compared against each other. Bimekizumab and ixekizumab were significantly more likely to reach PASI 90 than secukinumab. Bimekizumab, ixekizumab, and risankizumab were significantly more likely to reach PASI 90 than brodalumab and guselkumab. Infliximab, anti-IL17 drugs (bimekizumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, and brodalumab), and anti-IL23 drugs except tildrakizumab were significantly more likely to reach PASI 90 than ustekinumab, three anti-TNF alpha agents, and deucravacitinib. Ustekinumab was superior to certolizumab. Adalimumab, tildrakizumab, and ustekinumab were superior to etanercept. No significant difference was shown between apremilast and two non-biological drugs: ciclosporin and methotrexate. We found no significant difference between any of the interventions and the placebo for the risk of SAEs. The risk of SAEs was significantly lower for participants on methotrexate compared with most of the interventions. Nevertheless, the SAE analyses were based on a very low number of events with very low- to moderate-certainty evidence for all the comparisons. The findings therefore have to be viewed with caution. For other efficacy outcomes (PASI 75 and Physician Global Assessment (PGA) 0/1), the results were similar to the results for PASI 90. Information on quality of life was often poorly reported and was absent for several of the interventions. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Our review shows that, compared to placebo, the biologics infliximab, bimekizumab, ixekizumab, and risankizumab were the most effective treatments for achieving PASI 90 in people with moderate-to-severe psoriasis on the basis of high-certainty evidence. This NMA evidence is limited to induction therapy (outcomes measured from 8 to 24 weeks after randomisation), and is not sufficient for evaluating longer-term outcomes in this chronic disease. Moreover, we found low numbers of studies for some of the interventions, and the young age (mean 44.6 years) and high level of disease severity (PASI 20.4 at baseline) may not be typical of patients seen in daily clinical practice. We found no significant difference in the assessed interventions and placebo in terms of SAEs, and the safety evidence for most interventions was very low to moderate quality. More randomised trials directly comparing active agents are needed, and these should include systematic subgroup analyses (sex, age, ethnicity, comorbidities, psoriatic arthritis). To provide long-term information on the safety of treatments included in this review, an evaluation of non-randomised studies is needed. Editorial note: This is a living systematic review. Living systematic reviews offer a new approach to review updating, in which the review is continually updated, incorporating relevant new evidence as it becomes available. Please refer to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for the current status of this review.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Further dose optimization is required for patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who do not benefit from the approved secukinumab dose regimen. This study aimed to develop an exposure-response model for secukinumab to recommend dose regimens for patients of different body weights. METHODS We searched the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials using PASI 75 and PASI 90 response rates as primary outcomes. A model-based meta-analysis was developed to quantitatively analyze the distribution of six secukinumab dose regimens in patients weighing 50-120 kg. RESULTS Sixteen trials involving 6,197 subjects were included in the analysis. The established model accurately described the time-course characteristics of PASI 75 and PASI 90 response rates over 52 weeks. Simulations indicated that maintenance doses could be reduced to 150 mg every 4 weeks and to 150 mg every 3 weeks for patients weighing 50 and 60 kg, respectively. In contrast, maintenance doses of 300 mg every 3 weeks should be selected for patients weighing 120 kg. Patients weighing 70-110 kg remained on approved maintenance doses of 300 mg every 4 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Based on patient body weights, the exposure-response model recommends efficacious and economical dose regimens for patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have deeply changed the therapeutic management of a broad spectrum of solid tumors. Recent observations showed that obese patients receiving ICIs might have better outcomes than those with normal weight, while obesity was historically associated with a worse prognosis in cancer patients. Of note, obesity is associated with alterations in the gut microbiome profile, which interacts with immune and inflammatory pathways, both at the systemic and intratumoral levels. As the influence of the gut microbiota on the response to ICI has been repeatedly reported, a specific gut microbiome profile in obese cancer patients may be involved in their better response to ICI. This review summarizes recent data on the interactions between obesity, gut microbiota, and ICIs. In addition, we highlight possible pathophysiological mechanisms supporting the hypothesis that gut microbiota could be one of the links between obesity and poor response to ICIs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Biologic drugs have a key role in the long-term anti-inflammatory treatment of moderate to severe patients due to their immunomodulatory properties. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in patients with moderate to severe HS after 16 weeks of treatment, and to explore potential predictors of clinical response to the drug. METHODS Multicenter observational retrospective study. Patients treated with secukinumab 300 mg every 2 or 4 weeks who had completed at least 16 weeks of follow-up from nine hospitals based in southern Spain (Andalusia) were included in this study. Treatment effectiveness was assessed using the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR). Information about adverse events was collected, the therapeutic burden of the patients was calculated as the summation of systemic medical treatments and surgical interventions (excluding incision and drainage) experienced until the start of secukinumab treatment. RESULTS Forty-seven patients with severe HS were included for analysis. At week 16, 48.9% (23/47) of patients achieved HiSCR. Adverse events were present in 6.4% (3/47) of the patients. The multivariate analysis showed that female sex and, to a lesser extent, lower body mass index (BMI) and a lower therapeutic burden were potentially associated with a higher probability of HiSCR achievement. CONCLUSIONS Favorable short-term effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in the treatment of severe HS patients were observed. Female sex, lower BMI and a lower therapeutic burden may be associated with a higher probability of achieving HiSCR.

Survival rates of systemic interventions for psoriasis in the Western Japan Psoriasis Registry: A multicenter retrospective study. J Dermatol 2023.

Abstract
Psoriasis affects approximately 0.3% of the Japanese population. Recently, various effective systemic drugs have become available, and the continuation of a given treatment has become critical because of the chronic nature of psoriasis. Factors affecting drug survival (the time until treatment discontinuation) in psoriasis treatment include efficacy, safety, ease of use, and patient preference. In the present study, the authors retrospectively surveyed a multifacility patient registry to determine the real-world evidence of the survival rate of systemic interventions for psoriasis treatment. Patients with psoriasis who visited 20 facilities in the Western Japan area between January 2019 and May 2020 and gave written consent were registered as study participants, and their medical history of systemic interventions for psoriasis (starting from 2010) was retrospectively collected and analyzed. The drugs investigated were adalimumab, infliximab, ustekinumab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, brodalumab, guselkumab, risankizumab, cyclosporine, and apremilast. When drugs were discontinued, the reasons were also recorded. A total of 1003 patients with psoriasis including 268 with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) were enrolled. In biologics, more recently released drugs such as interleukin 17 inhibitors showed a numerically higher survival rate in the overall (post-2010) analysis. However, in the subset of patients who began treatment after 2017, the difference in the survival rate among the drugs was smaller. The reasons for discontinuing drugs varied, but a loss of efficacy against dermatological or joint symptoms were relatively frequently seen with some biologics and cyclosporine. The stratification of drug survival rates based on patient characteristics such as bio-naive or experienced, normal weight or obese, and with or without PsA, revealed that bio-experienced, obese, and PsA groups had poorer survival rates for most drugs. No notable safety issues were identified in this study. Overall, the present study revealed that the biologics show differences in their tendency to develop a loss of efficacy, and the factors that negatively impact the survival rate of biologics include the previous use of biologics, obesity, and PsA.

Psoriasis improvements and inflammatory biomarker normalization with secukinumab: the randomized ObePso-S study. J Dermatol Sci 2023; 109:12-21. [PMID: 36690571 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdermsci.2023.01.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The IL-17A inhibitor secukinumab has demonstrated consistent efficacy and safety in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with normalization of molecular and histopathologic psoriasis markers. OBJECTIVE To investigate treatment effects of secukinumab on clinical signs and psoriatic inflammation markers over 52 weeks in patients with psoriasis. METHODS In the ObePso-S study (NCT03055494), patients with psoriasis were randomized 2:1 to receive secukinumab 300 mg (n = 54) or placebo (n = 28), stratified by body weight (<90 or ≥90 kg), for 52 weeks. At Week 12, patients receiving placebo were switched to secukinumab. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index improvement of 90% (PASI90) and Investigator's Global Assessment modified 2011 0/1 responses were assessed at Weeks 12 and 52. Immunohistochemistry for keratin 16 (K16) and gene expression profiles were evaluated in lesional and non-lesional skin biopsies collected at baseline, Week 12, and Week 52. RESULTS Of patients receiving secukinumab, 55.8% and 59.6% achieved PASI90 at Weeks 12 and 52, respectively. K16 was absent in 93.1% of Week 12 PASI90 responders and 93.6% of Week 52 PASI90 responders, which mirrored the down-regulated expression of psoriatic inflammation. Week 52 PASI90 non-responders experienced regression of clinical and inflammatory marker responses toward baseline levels. Lower control of inflammatory gene expression at Week 12 was associated with suboptimal clinical responses at Week 52. CONCLUSION Sustained clinical responses with secukinumab were associated with rapid and sustained normalization of K16 and inflammatory gene expression in most patients. Molecular anti-inflammatory effects of secukinumab at Week 12 were associated with clinical responses at Week 52.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is an inflammatory disease nowadays considered not only as a cutaneous but as a systemic disease. Among the numerous comorbidities, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), depression, obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are considered the most frequent. In addition, metabolic syndrome (MetS), which involves hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, and atherosclerosis, has presented a higher prevalence in recent years, especially in psoriatic patients. AREAS COVERED The mechanism linking anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to MetS and CVD has been widely explained, while there are unknowns about inhibitors of interleukin (IL)-17 and -23. Considering the growing incidence of CVD in the world's population and in particular the strict correlation in patients with psoriasis, it is important to identify therapeutic options able to avoid a negative impact on patients with both conditions. The aim of this paper is to perform a review of the scientific literature with a focus on the pathogenetic mechanism linking psoriasis to CVD and MetS. EXPERT OPINION The scientific evidence currently available allows us to consider and support the use of anti-IL-17 and anti-IL-23 as a first-line therapy choice in psoriatic patients with high risk of CVDs or MetS.

Efficacy of Tildrakizumab Across Different Body Weights in Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis Over 5 Years: Pooled Analyses from the reSURFACE Pivotal Studies. Dermatol Ther (Heidelb) 2022; 12:2325-2341. [PMID: 36098877 PMCID: PMC9515266 DOI: 10.1007/s13555-022-00793-z] [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: 07/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Tildrakizumab (TIL), a monoclonal antibody that selectively targets interleukin-23p19, has been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. According to the European Medicines Agency Summary of Product Characteristics, the recommended dose is 100 mg, but a 200 mg dose can be used in patients with certain characteristics, such as a high disease burden or body weight (BW) ≥ 90 kg. Fixed one-dose biological therapies tend to become less effective in patients with high BW. This post-hoc study describes the long-term efficacy of TIL across different BWs in pivotal clinical trials. Methods A 5-year pooled analysis of two double-blind, randomised, controlled phase III trials—reSURFACE 1 and 2—was performed. Efficacy measures were the proportions of the patients with an absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) of < 3 and < 1 and a Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) of 0/1. The study population included patients randomised to TIL 100 mg or TIL 200 mg who received ≥ 1 TIL dose up to week 12 (part 1 of the trial) or up to week 28 (part 2) and patients who were responders (≥ 75% improvement in PASI) to TIL 100 or TIL 200 mg at week 28 and who were maintained on the same dose up to week 244. Efficacy was evaluated by analysing BW subgroups at weeks 28, 52 and 244. Missing data were analysed using multiple imputation. Safety was assessed in the all-patients-as-treated population. Results The proportions of TIL-treated patients with PASI < 3 and < 1 (up to week 244) and DLQI 0/1 (up to week 52) were similar for patients with BW < 90 or ≥ 90 kg, regardless of dose. Patients ≥ 120 kg had greater efficacy outcomes at the 200 mg dose. Safety outcomes were similar regardless of treatment dose and weight (< 120/≥ 120 kg). Conclusion In patients with BW ≥ 120 kg, TIL 200 mg is more efficacious than TIL 100 mg, with similar favourable safety profiles obtained regardless of dose and BW group. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01722331 (reSURFACE 1) and NCT01729754 (reSURFACE 2).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Off-label uses of biologics in the treatment of psoriasis are usually implemented in limited-resource settings and studies regarding their response profiles are limited. METHOD This was a retrospective study performed in moderate-to-severe plaque-type psoriasis patients who had been treated with either secukinumab, ixekizumab or brodalumab at a university hospital in Thailand between 1 January 2017 and 1 April 2021. RESULTS A total of 142 patients were included in the data analysis consisting of three groups of 48 patients, 86 patients, and 8 patients treated by secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab, respectively. Patients were then classified into five groups according to the dosing pattern they received; on-label, off-label with induction, off-label with specific pattern, off-label with irregular dosing interval <8 weeks and >8 weeks. Considering both secukinumab and ixekizumab, the adjusted hazard ratios (95%CI) for complete skin clearance of the four off-label regimens were 2.2(0.9-5.2), 1.9 (0.9-3.9), 1.0 (0.4-2.2), and 1.6 (0.7-3.6), compared to on-label regimen, respectively. In each biologic drug, almost all off-label dosing regimens demonstrated higher adjusted hazard ratios compared to on-label regimen. CONCLUSION Off-label, patient-oriented regimens could be a promising choice of IL-17 inhibitors for administration in special settings. Off-label regimens are not inferior in terms of skin clearance to an on-label regimen in the efficacy of psoriasis treatment of secukinumab and ixekizumab but do cause more flares. The decision to use off-label regimens must account for the benefits and associated risks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomised controlled trials of secukinumab have shown sustained efficacy and a favourable safety profile in multiple manifestations of psoriatic disease. OBJECTIVES To assess the long-term, real-world retention, effectiveness, and safety of secukinumab in routine clinical practice for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis (PsO). METHODS SERENA (CAIN457A3403) is a large, ongoing, longitudinal, observational study conducted at 438 sites and 19 countries across Europe for an expected duration of up to 5 years in adult patients with moderate to severe PsO, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Patients received ≥16 weeks of secukinumab treatment before enrolment. This interim analysis presents data from PsO patients, who were enrolled in the study between October-2016-October-2018 and were observed for ≥2 years. RESULTS In total, 1756 patients (67.3% male) with a mean age of 48.4 years and body mass index of 28.8 kg/m2 were included in the analysis. The secukinumab treatment retention rates after 1, 2 and 3 years in the study were 88.0%, 76.4% and 60.5%, respectively. Out of the 648 patients who discontinued the study, the most common reasons included lack of efficacy (42.6%), adverse event (17.4%), physician decision (12.2%) and subject decision (11.6%). Mean±SD absolute PASI was 21.0±13.0 at the start of treatment (n=1,564). At Baseline, the mean±SD PASI score reduced to 2.6±4.8 and remained low at Year 1 (2.3±4.3), Year 2 (1.9±3.6) and Year 3 (1.9±3.5). The safety profile of secukinumab during the SERENA study was consistent with its known safety profile, with no new safety signals reported. Particularly low rates of inflammatory bowel disease (0.3%; Incidence Rate [IR]:0.15), candida infections (3.1%; IR:1.43) and MACE (0.9%; IR:0.37) were observed. CONCLUSIONS Secukinumab showed high treatment persistence, sustained effectiveness and a favourable safety profile up to 3 years of follow-up in the real-world population of PsO patients observed in SERENA.

Abstract
Although psoriasis is predominantly a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, epidemiological data provide a solid link between psoriasis, especially in its more severe forms, and increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Apart from the increased prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, chronic inflammation appears to act synergistically with the underlying process of endothelial dysfunction toward the development of accelerated atherosclerosis, subclinical vascular injury and subsequently, clinically evident cardiovascular manifestations. Endothelial dysfunction is regarded as an early precursor of atherosclerosis with a predictive value for the development of future cardiovascular events. A thorough understanding of the mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in psoriasis might pave the path for the development of more accurate cardiovascular risk prediction tools and possible therapeutic targets aiming to alleviate the increased cardiovascular burden associated with the disease. The present review summarizes the available evidence about the role of chronic inflammation and other important pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the development of endothelial dysfunction in psoriasis. An overview of studies implementing the most widely applied circulating and vascular biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction in psoriasis patients will be provided, and the impact of systemic psoriasis treatments on endothelial dysfunction and patients' cardiovascular risk will be discussed.
