Abstract
BACKGROUND Interleukin (IL)-17A is essential for intestinal mucosal integrity, contributing to the prevention of detrimental immunity such as infectious colitis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Indeed, neutralization of IL-17A has been abandoned as a therapeutic principle in IBD because of increased disease activity. However, it is controversial whether IL-17A inhibitors increase the risk of developing colitis in patients who do not have underlying IBD. Here, we present two cases of different forms of colitis that occurred during treatment with two IL-17A inhibitors, secukinumab and ixekizumab. CASE PRESENTATIONS We report the case of a 35-year-old female with SAPHO (synovitis-acne-pustulosis-hyperostosis-osteitis) syndrome who was admitted due to severe colitis with bloody diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain and weight loss after receiving secukinumab for 3 months as well as the case of a 41-year-old male with psoriatic arthritis who presented himself to the outpatient clinic with bloody stools, abdominal pain and nausea 5 months after changing his therapy from secukinumab to ixekizumab. In both patients, treatment with IL-17A-inhibitors was stopped and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors were started. Both patients recovered, are clinically stable and show no more signs of active colitis. CONCLUSION The role of IL-17A inhibitors in the pathogenesis of infectious colitis and new-onset IBD is not fully understood and requires further research. Patients receiving IL-17A-inhibitor therapy should be carefully screened and notified of the possible side effects.

Abstract
Background Patients with psoriasis may experience an exacerbation in symptoms following COVID-19 infection. After abandoning 'zero COVID' strategies, China experienced a surge of Omicron infections. Objectives We aimed to investigate psoriasis exacerbation in psoriatic patients with COVID-19, following treatment with three different biologics, adalimumab, secukinumab, and ixekizumab. Methods We performed a prospective study (n = 209) at our hospital between November 01, 2022, and February 15, 2023. We defined △ PASI as post-COVID-19 PASI minus pre-COVID-19 PASI. Two endpoints were set in this study. △ PASI >0 was defined as exacerbation of psoriasis after infection. △ PASI >3 was defined as a severe exacerbation of psoriasis symptoms after infection. In addition, serum OAS1, OAS2, and OAS3 were also assessed. Results Results showed that the severity of psoriasis can worsen after COVID-19 infection, and a smaller proportion of patients taking biologics developed worsening psoriasis compared to those not using biologics; however, only the patients taking ixekizumab demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), while those taking adalimumab or secukinumab didn't. What's more, the use of biological agents suppressed the serum OAS2 and OAS3 at low levels and elevated the serum OAS1 level in patients with psoriasis. Conclusions This study provided new insights into the protective role of biological agents in patients with psoriasis who were infected with COVID-19, and we proposed that psoriatic patients treated with biologics should continue with the treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize and analysis the application of biologic agents in patients with psoriasis in the real world. METHODS Relying on collected data from June 2020 to September 2021 in the database of China Psoriasis Standardized Diagnosis and Treatment Center, 2529 cases of psoriasis patients treated with biologic agents in 188 different tertiary hospitals across China were retrospective analyzed. The collected information mainly includes demographic data (age, gender, psoriasis history), curative effectiveness of used biologics drug withdrawal and its reason. According to the collected information, condition of the usage for each category of biologics and influencing factor of biologics replacement were analyzed. RESULT A total of 2529 patients were analyzed, which included 1626 male (64.29%) and 903 female (35.71%) with an average age of 42.12 ± 14.70 (17 ∼ 85) years old; 2336 (92.37%) patients were aged from 19 to 60 years old. Within these patients, 2362 of them (93.40%) had a psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score, and 1776 of these patients had moderate to severe cases (75.19%). According to the patient's self-evaluation of the past efficacy of biological agents, secukinumab was chosen by the most people to have the highest efficacy (1140 cases, 93.60%). The main reason for the withdrawal of secukinumab is that the disease is already well controlled at the time of withdrawal (67 cases, 38.95%); for TNF- α inhibitor is the poor curative effect; for ustekinumab and ixekizumab were the non-affordable price. CONCLUSIONS In the current biotherapy of psoriasis in China, the efficacy of secukinumab is thought by most people to be the highest. Secukinumab is the first choice when the needs of changing biologics appear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the results of a structured literature review of real-world outcomes with ixekizumab in patients with psoriasis (PsO) and/or psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS Literature databases, conference proceedings and additional sources were searched for relevant publications. Real-world studies of ≥25 ixekizumab-treated patients with PsO and/or PsA were included. Data on clinical effectiveness, treatment persistence/patterns, economic outcomes, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and safety were extracted. RESULTS Fifty-one publications were included. Most studies focused on patients with PsO, and the number of publications with a focus on PROs was low. Studies of treatment patterns found that in general, ixekizumab had similar or better persistence versus other biologics, and rates or risk of switching similar to or less than comparator drugs. Adherence to ixekizumab was high, and patients were less likely to discontinue ixekizumab than other biologics. Ixekizumab was effective in the real world, with a safety profile consistent with that reported in clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS Real-world use of ixekizumab in PsO and PsA is effective and safe, with generally high treatment persistence and adherence. Further work is required to determine the impact of ixekizumab on PROs in PsO, and to gather more data on real-world use of ixekizumab in PsA.

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
Real-world evidence, directly comparing the effectiveness of interleukin (IL)17-inhibitors, IL23-inhibitors, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α)-inhibitors and an IL12/23-inhibitor in psoriasis, is scarce. The aim of this study was to directly compare the first-year effectiveness of biologic therapies for psoriasis, corrected for confounders. This prospective, multicentre cohort study assessed BioCAPTURE data on etanercept, adalimumab, ustekinumab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, and guselkumab in 1,080 treatment episodes of 700 patients with psoriasis. The course of the mean absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the proportion of patients who achieved PASI90/PASI75 were compared using linear mixed models and mixed logistic regression models respectively, corrected for baseline PASI, biologic naivety, and weight. Patients treated with adalimumab, ustekinumab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, or guselkumab all had a significantly lower mean PASI after 12 months compared with etanercept, and significantly higher overall odds of reaching PASI90 than those treated with etanercept. Patients treated with ixekizumab or guselkumab also had higher probabilities of reaching PASI90 than adalimumab, ustekinumab, and secukinumab. Relative to randomized controlled trials, the proportions of patients who reached PASI90/75 were lower in this real-world study.

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
Introduction Biologics have expanded the treatment options in the management of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. The objective of this study was to describe patient characteristics and previous treatments in psoriasis patients newly treated with guselkumab, secukinumab, or ixekizumab. Methods This retrospective study included patients ≥ 18 years old with psoriasis in the USA who were newly treated with guselkumab, secukinumab, or ixekizumab between 1 July 2017 and 31 March 2019 in the Modernizing Medicine Data Services database (MMDS). Patients were indexed on their first prescription or injection record of guselkumab, secukinumab, or ixekizumab, and three mutually exclusive cohorts were created. Patients were required to have evidence of moderate-to-severe psoriasis, defined as Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score of 3 or 4, or body surface area (BSA) ≥ 10% on index date or within 12 months before index. Baseline characteristics, including treatment history, were reported for each cohort. Results The study population included 461 guselkumab, 619 secukinumab, and 375 ixekizumab patients. The median age across cohorts was 51–52 years. Median baseline BSA ranged from 15% to 20%; 16.1–29.3% of patients had a PGA of 4 and over half of patients were obese prior to index. Approximately 40% of patients had comorbid cardiovascular disease and 20.8–24.2% of patients had a psychiatric disorder. About half of patients in each cohort had prior biologic use, of which adalimumab was most common (28.2–34.9%) across the cohorts. Conclusion This real-world study describes the characteristics of patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis receiving biologic treatments.

Abstract
Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis with heterogeneous disease presentation. The most affected clinical domain of the disease determines the therapeutic approach. We report the case of a 34-year-old man with all six crucial domains of psoriatic arthritis (psoriasis, peripheral arthritis, axial skeletal manifestations, dactylitis, nail changes, and enthesitis) treated unsuccessfully with conventional synthetic DMARDs, NSAID's, and steroids as well as topical treatment and phototherapy. With golimumab as the first line of bDMARD partial remission was achieved. After 24 months the treatment was switched to secukinumab due to secondary inefficacy. The psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis relapsed after 21 months of treatment with secukinumab. The patient was cycled to ixekizumab with an excellent result. IL-17A inhibitor cycling may be a successful treatment option in some difficult to treat psoriatic arthritis patients.

This study compared treatment patterns over 18 months among biologic-experienced patients with psoriasis receiving IXE or SEC in the USA. Methods A retrospective observational study using administrative claims data from IBM® Watson Health MarketScan® Research Databases included adult patients with ≥ 1 inpatient or ≥ 2 non-diagnostic (≥ 30 days apart) outpatient claim/s with diagnosis of psoriasis between March 1, 2015 and October 31, 2019, and ≥ 1 claim/s for index drugs, IXE or SEC, between March 1, 2016 and October 31, 2019. Patients had to have ≥ 1 claim/s for biologics indicated for psoriasis in the 6-month pre-period. During the 18-month follow-up, treatment adherence (proportion of days covered [PDC]), high adherence (PDC ≥ 80%), persistence, discontinuation, reinitiation, and switching were assessed. To address cohort imbalances, inverse probability of treatment weighting was employed. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratio for high adherence. Cox proportional hazard models were used to estimate hazard ratio for non-persistence, discontinuation, and switching. Results Overall, 411 IXE and 780 SEC users were included. After weighting, IXE users had significantly higher rate of high treatment adherence (42% vs. 35%, p = 0.019), higher persistence rate (44.9% vs. 36.9%, p = 0.007), lower discontinuation rate (48.4% vs. 56.0%, p = 0.012), and lower switching rate (26.6% vs. 34.0%, p = 0.009) compared with SEC users. After multivariable adjustment, compared with SEC, IXE use was associated with 36% higher odds of high treatment adherence (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.05–1.74), 20% lower risk of treatment non-persistence (HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.68–0.93), 19% lower risk of discontinuation (HR 0.81, 95% CI 0.68–0.96), and 25% lower risk of switching (HR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60–0.93). Conclusion This study suggests that IXE treatment is associated with significantly higher adherence rates and significantly lower non-persistence, discontinuation, and switching compared with SEC treatment.

Abstract
Large Granular Lymphocyte Leukemia (LGLL) is a rare, chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of effector cytotoxic T-cells, and less frequently, natural killer (NK) cells. The disease is characterized by an indolent and often asymptomatic course. However, in roughly 50% of cases, treatment is required due to severe transfusion-dependent anemia, severe neutropenia, or moderate neutropenia with associated recurrent infections. LGLL represents an interesting disease process at the intersection of a physiological immune response, autoimmune disorder, and malignant (clonal) proliferation, resulting from the aberrant activation of cellular pathways promoting survival, proliferation, and evasion of apoptotic signaling. LGLL treatment primarily consists of immunosuppressive agents (methotrexate, cyclosporine, and cyclophosphamide), with a cumulative response rate of about 60% based on longitudinal expertise and retrospective studies. However, refractory cases can result in clinical scenarios characterized by transfusion-dependent anemia and severe neutropenia, which warrant further exploration of other potential targeted treatment modalities. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the immune-genomic profiles of LGLL, its pathogenesis, and current treatment options, and discuss potential novel therapeutic agents, particularly for refractory disease.

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.
