Pharmacovigilance of Risankizumab in the Treatment of Psoriasis and Arthritic Psoriasis: Real-World Data from EudraVigilance Database. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:1933. [PMID: 37514118 PMCID: PMC10386550 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15071933] [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: 03/20/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Risankizumab is a selective, humanized immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) monoclonal anti-body directed against interleukin (IL)-23 protein. The therapeutic indication of risankizumab is moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The safety profile of risankizumab is currently defined by data obtained with clinical trials used for the authorization of entry into the market. The aim of this study was to expand information on the safety of risankizumab through a descriptive post-marketing analysis of real-world data regarding serious adverse reactions (SARs) to risankizumab found in the EudraVigilance database. The EudraVigilance database system, containing SARs linked to drugs not yet licensed for the market in the European Union (EU), was used. In EudraVigilance, SARs are described in single individual cases safety reports (ICSRs). More frequently reported serious SARs to risankizumab are associated with, in descending order, infections, cancer, nervous system disorders, cardiac disorders, abnormal laboratory results, pulmonary disorders, conditions aggravated, and skin disorders. Despite the classical limitations of this post-marketing study (lack of denominator, no certainty of causal relationship between the drug and the adverse reaction), analysis of real-world data related to SARs to risankizumab confirms the known safety profile of the drug but, at the same time, stimulates to further go into detail about the occurrence as adverse reactions of malignancies and their sex distribution.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, comprises multiple complex immune-mediated disorders. Early diagnosis and prompt disease control may prevent long-term complications and hospitalization. The therapeutic options have expanded in the last two decades, with the development of biologics and small molecules targeting specific pathways implicated in inflammatory bowel disease pathogenesis. The interleukin (IL)-23/Th-17 axis is one such example. Targeting IL-12/23 is effective for the treatment of both moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and ustekinumab (an IL-12/23p40 antagonist) is approved for both indications. In patients with psoriasis, improved clinical outcomes were observed with agents that more selectively targeted IL-23 (IL-23p19 antagonists) compared with those that target both IL-12 and IL-23. Many specific IL-23p19 antagonists are currently being investigated in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, and risankizumab has been recently approved for moderate-to-severely active Crohn's disease. In this review, we summarize the mechanisms of action and the evidence from clinical trials supporting the efficacy and safety of IL-23p19 antagonists for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

[PMID: 36721838 PMCID: PMC9884449 DOI: 10.2147/ccid.s296544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/26/2023]
Abstract
Biologic treatments are increasingly being used in the management of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (PSO). Risankizumab (RZB) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically blocks the p19 subunit of interleukin 23, which in turn regulates the activation, differentiation, and survival of Th17. RZB has proved their efficacy and their safety compared to anti-TNF. However, studies that assess and compare the improvement in other secondary PROs such as the patient's quality of life are still scarce. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is the sum of physical health, well-being, and participation; it defines the functional effect of a disease or its treatment and how it is perceived by the patient. The objective of this paper is to analyze the literature on the impact of treatment with RZB on the quality of life of patients with PSO and their psychological well-being. A bibliographic search was carried out to identify all the papers published from July 2015 to June 1, 2022, on RZB treatment in psoriasis and its impact on health-related quality of life and psychological well-being, finally twenty articles have been evaluated in full text, of which 8 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Risankizumab has shown not only to have very relevant data on effectiveness and safety, but all of this is associated with an improvement in quality of life related to health and psychological well-being measured on generic and specific quality of life scales, both in pivotal trials, ad hoc analysis, and data in real clinical practice.

Abstract
Introduction Risankizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets interleukin-23. It is approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. We conducted a 52-week monocentric retrospective study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risankizumab in a real-life setting. Methods Our study included 131 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis all treated with risankizumab for at least 52 weeks. Patient characteristics and PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) at each visit were recorded. The percentages of patients achieving 75%/90%/100% (PASI 75/90/100) improvement in PASI with respect to baseline were registered. Results At week 52, 93.9%, 78.6%, and 61.1% of patients achieved PASI 75/90/100, respectively. An absolute PASI ≤ 2 was reached by 90.8% at week 52. The higher body mass index and the presence of cardio-metabolic comorbidities did not interfere with the odds of reaching PASI 75/90/100 at each time-point. At week 52, comparable percentages of patients achieved PASI 100, regardless of the involvement of difficult-to-treat-areas. No significant safety findings were recorded and none of the patients had to interrupt the treatment because of adverse events. Conclusions Our findings confirmed that risankizumab is a safe and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of a wide “real-life” cohort of patients with psoriasis.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitors, guselkumab, risankizumab, and tildrakizumab, represent the latest class of biologics approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Since their approval numerous real-life studies were published on anti-IL-23 use in routine clinical practice. Indeed, real-life data are important to improve the dermatological decision-making process, including patients who are typically excluded from clinical trials, such as subjects suffering from several comorbidities, subjects on polypharmacy, as well as multifailure patients. Herein, we performed a comprehensive literature review about real-life data available on guselkumab, risankizumab, and tildrakizumab. Real-life data of anti-IL-23 seem to confirm the promising results of IL-23 shown by clinical trials, highlighting the efficacy and safety profiles of this new class of biologics also in clinical practice.

Abstract
Interleukin 23 [IL-23] plays a key role in the pathogenesis of both Crohn's disease [CD] and ulcerative colitis [UC], promoting a Th17 cell-related immune response. The combined blockade of IL-23 and IL-12 with ustekinumab has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD]. Studies on preclinical models and observations of other immune-mediated diseases, such as psoriasis, suggest that the selective inhibition of IL-23 could be beneficial in IBD. Four monoclonal antibodies [risankizumab, mirikizumab, brazikumab and guselkumab] are currently in advance clinical trials for either CD or UC. In this review, we provide an overview of the main results from published studies of selective anti IL-23 agents.

Abstract
Crohn’s disease is a chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder, characterized by episodes of relapsing and remitting flares. As the disease mechanism becomes better elucidated, there is a significant increase in the number of available biologic therapies. This article summarizes and synthesizes current Food and Drug Administration-approved biological therapy for Crohn’s disease and examines the positioning of medical therapy as emerging biologics break onto the market.
