Abstract
INTRODUCTION Significant advances in psoriasis treatment have taken place since the introduction of biologics. Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors were the first class of biologics approved and at that time greatly improved psoriasis treatment. However, newer biologics, directed to interleukin(IL)-23/IL-17 pathways central to psoriasis pathogenesis, have improved complete or nearly complete clearance rates and are characterized by an excellent safety profile.Real-world setting experiences have generally confirmed the results of clinical trials, but real-world data regarding newer biologics is relatively scarce. AREAS COVERED We provide an extensive review of real-world survival of biologic treatments for moderate to severe psoriasis. EXPERT OPINION There is growing and consistent evidence of higher drug survival of IL-23 inhibitors, possibly due to their favorable efficacy and safety profiles, dosing convenience and persistence of response despite treatment interruption; eventual confirmation of their potential role as modifiers of the natural history of psoriasis might provide additional reasons for therapeutic persistence of this class of biologics.

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 Confirmatory data on the long-term effectiveness and safety of ixekizumab in psoriatic patients from real-world studies are needed. OBJECTIVES The primary aim was to evaluate the 3-year drug survival of ixekizumab in the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, in a multicenter real-world setting. The secondary aim was to assess the influence of predictive factors on the drug survival of ixekizumab. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on a cohort of patients with chronic plaque psoriasis, who received at least one dose of ixekizumab before December 2018. The drug survival analysis was performed and descriptively analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were carried out including variables considered to be of clinical importance. RESULTS A total of 306 patients were enrolled. The overall drug survival at 12, 24, and 36 months of treatment with ixekizumab was 92.11%, 83.85%, and 80.19%, respectively. A higher probability (HR 2.34) of drug withdrawal was found among patients who had already received an anti-IL-17 agent compared with bio-naive patients (p 0.017). CONCLUSIONS We found that ixekizumab is a biological agent characterized by long-term effectiveness, not influenced by several clinical factors and associated with a good safety profile.

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
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 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.
