Abstract
The mechanism linking psoriasis to metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains poorly understood. Recent reports indicate upregulation of glycolysis-related proteins in psoriatic keratinocytes (KCs). However, the role of glucose metabolism reprogramming in psoriatic KCs, psoriasis, and psoriasis with MetS remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed glucose metabolism reprogramming in psoriatic KCs by examining glycolysis-related genes, proteins, and metabolites. We found that inhibiting glucose metabolism reprogramming in psoriasiform KCs led to improvements in psoriasiform features. Notably, we observed enhanced glucose metabolism reprogramming in KCs within psoriatic skin lesions of patients with MetS. In vitro, high-glucose and high-fat culture intensified glucose metabolism reprogramming in psoriasiform KCs partially via the AKT/mTOR pathway. These findings highlight a strong link between the glycolytic switch and KC function and suggest that glucose metabolism reprogramming in KCs contributes to heightened psoriatic inflammation in MetS.

Hsieh CY, Tseng YH, Tsai TF. Predictors for the effectiveness of 75 mg risankizumab in treating psoriasis-A real-word evidence from a 52-week retrospective study. Exp Dermatol 2023; 32:2138-2148. [PMID: 37864438 DOI: 10.1111/exd.14963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/22/2023]
Abstract
In the registration trial of risankizumab for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Japan, similar Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) responses were observed for 75 mg or 150 mg risankizumab at most time points up to 52 weeks, except for PASI 100 at week 16. The use of 75 mg risankizumab offers an attractive option considering the high cost of risankizumab. However, it is unknown whether patients with mild-to-moderate psoriasis respond similarly, and the efficacy data of non-Japanese patients is also lacking. We retrospectively included 30 consecutive Chinese patients receiving half-dose (75 mg) risankizumab as scheduled up to 52 weeks. Compared with biologic-experienced group, biologic-naive group had a significantly higher PASI 50/75/90/100 achievement (p = 0.0098/0.0039/0.0016/0.0054) at week 52. PASI 50/75/90/100 curves in biologic-naive group (p = 0.0117/0.0239/0.0143/0.0269) were also significantly higher when analysed generalized estimating equations (GEE) model. Though there was no statistically significant difference in terms of PASI 50/75/90/100 responses at any time points between those with body weight ≦ 65 kg and those >65 kg, a tendency of secondary failure was noted in those >65 kg from week 40 onwards. Patients who were both biologic-naive and weighed ≦ 65 kg achieved sustained PASI 50/75/90 responses from week 16/28/40 onwards, respectively, indicating that they could be considered as potential candidates for 75 mg risankizumab. Though PASI 75 curve in patients without diabetes mellitus (DM) surpassed that in patient without DM, curves of other parameters did not reach significance when analysed by GEE model. There was no HBV, HCV or TB reactivation, nor other new safety signals during the 52-week observational period. Providing risankizumab with flexible dosing options is beneficial in clinical practice considering the high cost of this medication.

Persistence of second-line biologics in psoriasis after first-line biologic failure: a nationwide cohort study from the French health insurance database (SNDS). Br J Dermatol 2023; 189:561-568. [PMID: 37479503 DOI: 10.1093/bjd/ljad248] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many biologics are available for psoriasis and have been compared in real-life studies based on their persistence (i.e. time between initiation and discontinuation). However, after first-line biologic failure, data are lacking on the choice of second-line biologic among the four available classes [tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi); interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 inhibitor (IL-12/IL-23i); IL-17 inhibitors (IL-17i); and IL-23 inhibitors (IL-23i)]. OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term persistence of available second-line biologics in psoriasis according to prior exposure. METHODS This nationwide cohort study involved the administrative healthcare database of the French health insurance scheme linked to a hospital discharge database. Participants were adults with psoriasis, defined as having at least two prescriptions of a topical vitamin D derivative within a 2-year period, with initiation of a second-line biologic between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2021. We included patients who initiated a second-line biologic directly after first-line discontinuation (i.e. without a 'washout' period). The end of follow-up was 30 June 2022. Discontinuation was defined as > 90 days without filling a prescription for the same treatment after the period covered by the previous prescription. Comparison of persistence by biologic class involved using propensity score-weighted Cox models (inverse probability treatment weighting) and adjustment of specific systemic nonbiologics (time-dependent variables). RESULTS We included 8693 patients [mean (SD) age 50 (14) years; 50.5% male]; 2824 (32.5%) started TNFi, 1561 (18.0%) IL-12/IL-23i, 2707 (31.1%) IL-17i and 1601 (18.4%) IL-23i. Overall, 1- and 3-year persistence rates were 60% and 30%, respectively. After weighting and adjustment, persistence was longer with IL-12/IL-23i [weighted hazard ratio (HRw) 0.68, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.62-0.76)], IL-17i (HRw 0.70, 95% CI 0.64-0.78) and IL-23i (HRw 0.36, 95% CI 0.31-0.42) than TNFi, except after first-line IL-17i treatment, with no difference between IL-12/IL-23i, IL-17i and TNFi second-line persistence. Persistence was longer with IL-23i as a second-line treatment than IL-12/IL-23i (HRw 0.53, 95% CI 0.44-0.63) and IL-17i (HRw 0.51, 95% CI 0.44-0.60), regardless of first-line treatment, with no difference seen between IL-12/IL-23i and IL-17i (HRw 0.97, 95% CI 0.87-1.09). CONCLUSIONS This real-life study suggests the longer persistence of IL-23i than TNFi, IL-17i and IL-12/IL-23i as second-line treatment for psoriasis. Persistence rates for all biologics remained low at 3 years.

Abstract
Background. Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease with multifactorial nature. It often requires administration of genetically engineered biologic drugs. They have a number of features and risks that depend on various factors. The results of ustekinumab administration as a drug of choice in patients with comorbid metabolic syndrome in a child with Down syndrome, as well as a case of inefficacy of previous biologic therapy with TNFα inhibitors are considered. Clinical cases description. Two clinical cases of ustekinumab administration in children with severe psoriasis have been described. In the first case, we had to choose systemic therapy for the child suffering from Down syndrome and having complex comorbid background: obesity and steatohepatitis. The second case was interesting due to the family history of psoriasis in the patient, who received methotrexate for a long time, and then etanercept with subsequent loss of efficacy and severe disease aggravation without any pathogenetic therapy. Conclusion. Ustekinumab is the favorable genetically engineered biologic drug (according to the studies results and the clinical cases data) for children with severe psoriasis who have comorbid pathologies and who require the change in biologic agent due to its inefficacy.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is well recognized as a frequent comorbidity of psoriasis with important implications for efficacy and safety of psoriasis treatment. The presence of concomitant MetS is associated with decreased efficacy response to biologic treatment for psoriasis in observational studies. In post hoc analyses of clinical trial data, the anti–IL-23p19 antibody tildrakizumab appears to maintain efficacy in patients compared to those without MetS; no published subgroup analyses by MetS status are yet available for other biologics. However, there is some evidence that obese patients have decreased psoriasis treatment efficacy with biologics with certain mechanisms of action relative to overweight patients. This confounds interpretation of the effect of MetS due to the association between MetS and body weight. Because of the association between MetS and cardiovascular risk, treatment of psoriasis in patients with concomitant MetS requires special consideration for cardiovascular safety and attention to potential for exacerbation of MetS and related conditions, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Additional studies are needed to clarify the risks for treatment failure and cardiovascular safety concerns in patients with psoriasis and concomitant MetS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment with biologics often leads to clearance of psoriasis. However, some patients do repeatedly fail to respond and/or lose an achieved response (treatment refractory) to the biologic, whereas other patients achieve excellent response to one biologic and remain clear of psoriasis for several years (super-responders). OBJECTIVE To identify and characterize patients with treatment refractory psoriasis and patients who are super-responders to biologic treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients registered in DERMBIO between January 2007 and November 2019 were included. Patients were categorized as being treatment refractory if they had had treatment failure to ≥3 biologics targeting ≥2 different pathways. Super-responders were patients treated with their first biologic for minimum 5 years without an absolute psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) > 3 between 6 months and 5 years of treatment. All remaining patients from DERMBIO served as comparators. RESULTS In total, 3280 patients were included with a mean age of 45.0 years. 1221 (37%) of the patients were females. Of the included patients, 214 (6.5%) were categorized as treatment refractory and 207 (6.3%) were categorized as super-responders. Treatment refractory patients had higher mean body weight (100.6 kg vs. 90.6 kg, P < 0.0001) and higher mean BMI (32.2 vs. 29.4, P < 0.0001) compared with the rest of patients in DERMBIO. Super-responders had higher socioeconomic status and fewer comorbidities compared with the comparator group (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION A small proportion of patients with psoriasis treated with biologics are either super-responders or treatment refractory. Treatment refractory patients have higher body weight, whereas super-responders have fewer comorbidities and higher socioeconomic status.

Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Biologics (Secukinumab, Ustekinumab, and Guselkumab) for the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis: Real-world Data from a Single Korean Center. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10051058.

Abstract
Biologics are important treatment options for psoriasis; however, direct comparison of their efficacy, safety, and drug survival is insufficient in clinical practice. This retrospective single-center study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and drug survival of three commonly used psoriasis biologics (secukinumab, ustekinumab, and guselkumab) and identify the factors affecting drug survival in actual clinics in Korea. We enrolled 111 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis and for at least 56 weeks of follow-up; among these, 27, 23, and 61 were administered secukinumab, ustekinumab, and guselkumab, respectively. All groups were comparable with respect to their baseline characteristics. Secukinumab showed a rapid response, and guselkumab was superior in terms of a long-term response and complete remission compared with other biologics, while ustekinumab showed a lower efficacy compared with other biologics. All three biologics had a favorable and similar safety profile; however, allergic reactions and latent tuberculosis were more common with secukinumab and ustekinumab, respectively. Guselkumab was the most sustained biologic, and the survival rates of secukinumab and ustekinumab were similar. Drug survival was remarkably shorter in female patients and those with hypertension. Introduction of new biologics emerged as a negative factor for drug survival in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data are available on long-term efficacy and safety of biologics in patients with psoriasis and metabolic syndrome (MetS), a common comorbidity. OBJECTIVES This analysis updates tildrakizumab efficacy and safety for up to 5 years in patients with and without MetS. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 reSURFACE 1 (NCT01722331) and reSURFACE 2 (NCT01729754) trials in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Analyses included data through Week 244 from patients who continuously received tildrakizumab 100 (TIL100) or 200 mg (TIL200) and entered the extension studies, stratified by baseline MetS status. Efficacy was assessed via Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores. Safety was evaluated from exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). RESULTS reSURFACE 1 and reSURFACE 2 analyses included 26 and 44 TIL100-treated patients with MetS, 98 and 167 TIL100-treated patients without MetS, 34 and 30 TIL200-treated patients with MetS, and 111 and 130 TIL200-treated patients without MetS, respectively. There were no clinically relevant differences in PASI 75/90/100 response rates at Week 244 between patients with vs without MetS. The proportion of patients with vs without MetS achieving absolute PASI score <3 at Week 244 was 53.8% vs 69.4% and 77.3% vs 80.8% in reSURFACE 1 and 2, respectively, for TIL100-treated patients and 58.8% vs 72.1% and 63.3% vs 72.3%, respectively, for TIL200-treated patients. In both studies, median reduction from baseline PASI score at all time points in patients with vs without MetS was >83% vs >89% for TIL100 and >85% vs >90% for TIL200. Pooled EAIRs of TEAEs, serious TEAEs, and TEAEs of special interest were similar in patients with and without MetS. CONCLUSIONS Tildrakizumab maintains efficacy and a favorable safety profile over 5 years in patients with psoriasis regardless of MetS status.

Adherence and Persistence to Biological Drugs for Psoriasis: Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11061506.

Abstract
Despite the large number of biologics currently available for moderate-to-severe psoriasis, poor adherence and persistence to therapy represent the main issues for both the clinical and economic management of psoriasis. However, the data about adherence and persistence to biologics in psoriasis patients are conflicting. Our aim was to produce summary estimates of adherence and persistence to biologics in adult patients with psoriasis. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies, searching two databases (PubMed and Embase). Sixty-two records met the inclusion criteria, and a meta-analysis was conducted on fifty-five studies. Overall, the proportion of adherent and persistent patients to biological therapy was 0.61 (95% confidence interval: 0.48–0.73) and 0.63 (0.57–0.68), respectively. The highest proportions were found for ustekinumab, while the lowest ones were found for etanercept. The proportions of adherence and persistence to biological drugs in psoriasis patients are sub-optimal. Notably, both proportions largely differ between drugs, suggesting that a more rational use of biologics might ensure better management of psoriasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug survival is useful to evaluate long-term drug performance in daily practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate drug survival for methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy in patients with plaque-type psoriasis. METHODS We reviewed 3,512 follow-up charts of patients with psoriasis at five tertiary referral centers between January 2012 and January 2020. We analyzed baseline data and treatment outcomes of patients under MTX monotherapy. Drug survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. RESULTS Patients with psoriasis who were treated with MTX monotherapy were enrolled (N = 649). The median duration of drug survival was 15 months (95% CI: 13.2-16.8). The overall drug survival rate was 54.7%, 17.4%, and 8% after 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. The main reasons for discontinuation were adverse effects (n = 209, 32.2%) and inefficacy (n = 105, 15.6%). Based on multivariate Cox regression analysis, the presence of nausea/vomiting (HR: 2.01, 95% CI: 1.49-2.71; P < 0.001) was observed as a statistically significant risk factor for drug discontinuation. Age over 50 years (HR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48-0.97; P = 0.03) and using MTX dose ≥15 mg/weekly were positive predictors for drug survival (HR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.54-0.95; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The average drug survival of MTX was 15 months. MTX is still the first-line treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, as highlighted in guidelines. To prevent premature discontinuation, physicians need to look at the response time of at least 16-24 weeks, especially when a stepwise dose increment is used. The presence of nausea/vomiting seemed to be associated with an approximately twofold risk of discontinuation.

Abstract
Objectives TNF inhibitors (TNFis) and IL inhibitors are effective treatments for PsA. Treatment non-persistence (drug survival, discontinuation) is a measure of effectiveness, tolerability and patient satisfaction or preferences in real-world clinical practice. Persistence on these treatments is not well understood in European PsA populations. The aim of this study was to compare time to non-persistence for either ustekinumab (IL-12/23 inhibitor) or secukinumab (IL-17 inhibitor) to a reference group of adalimumab (TNFi) treatment exposures in PsA patients and identify risk factors for non-persistence. Methods A total of 4649 exposures of adalimumab, ustekinumab, and secukinumab in 3918 PsA patients were identified in Swedish longitudinal population-based registry data. Kaplan–Meier curves were constructed to measure treatment-specific real-world risk of non-persistence and adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were estimated to identify risk factors associated with non-persistence. Results Ustekinumab was associated with a lower risk of non-persistence relative to adalimumab in biologic-naïve [hazard ratio (HR) 0.48 (95% CI 0.33, 0.69)] and biologic-experienced patients [HR 0.65 (95% CI 0.56, 0.76)], while secukinumab was associated with a lower risk in biologic-naïve patients [HR 0.65 (95% CI 0.49, 0.86)] but a higher risk of non-persistence in biologic-experienced patients [HR 1.20 (95% CI 1.03, 1.40)]. Biologic non-persistence was also associated with female sex, axial involvement, recent disease onset, biologic treatment experience and no psoriasis. Conclusion Ustekinumab exhibits a favourable treatment persistency profile relative to adalimumab overall and across lines of treatment. The performance of secukinumab is dependent on biologic experience. Persistence and risk factors for non-persistence should be accounted for when determining an optimal treatment plan for patients.

Abstract
Background Drug survival rates reflect efficacy and safety and may be influenced by the availability of alternative treatment options. Little is known about time‐dependent drug survival in psoriasis and the effect of increasing numbers of biologic treatment options. Objectives To determine whether drug survival is influenced by the availability of treatment options and by factors such as gender, psoriatic arthritis or previous biologic treatment. Methods This observational, retrospective, multicentre cohort study analysed data from patients registered in the Austrian Psoriasis Registry (PsoRA) who were treated with biologics between 1 January 2015 and 30 November 2019. Results A total of 1572 patients who received 1848 treatment cycles were included in this analysis. The highest long‐term Psoriasis Area and Severity Index improvement was observed after treatment with ixekizumab, followed by ustekinumab and secukinumab, adalimumab and etanercept. Overall, ustekinumab surpassed all other biologics in drug survival up to 48 months. However, when adjusted for biologic naïvety, its superiority vanished and drug survival rates were similar for ixekizumab (91·6%), secukinumab (90·2%) and ustekinumab (92·8%), all of them superior to adalimumab (76·5%) and etanercept (71·9%) at 12 months and beyond. Besides biologic non‐naïvety (2·10, P < 0·001), the introduction of a new drug such as secukinumab or ixekizumab (relative hazard ratio 1·6, P = 0·001) and female gender (1·50, P = 0·019) increased the risk of treatment discontinuation overall, whereas psoriatic arthritis did not (1·12, P = 0·21). Conclusions The time‐dependent availability of drugs should be considered when analysing and comparing drug survival. Previous biologic exposure significantly influences drug survival. Women are more likely to stop treatment.
What is already known about this topic?
Female gender and previous biologic exposure have been discussed as predictors for decreased drug survival in patients with psoriasis, but it remains unknown whether a time‐dependent increased availability of treatment options alters biologic drug survival.
What does this study add?
The increased availability of alternative biologic treatments over time leads to an elevated risk for treatment discontinuation overall; therefore, drug survival analysis has to be time adjusted. Moreover, the study reveals that the impact of previous biologic treatment on drug survival is tremendous and confirms worse drug survival in female patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data for the effect of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on the efficacy and safety of biologic agents for psoriasis treatment are limited. OBJECTIVE To evaluate long-term tildrakizumab efficacy, drug survival, and safety in patients with psoriasis by baseline MetS status. METHODS Post hoc analyses of up to 3 years of efficacy data and 5 years of safety data from the phase 3, double-blind, randomized controlled reSURFACE 1 and 2 trial (NCT01722331 and NCT01729754) base and extension studies were conducted for patients receiving continuous tildrakizumab 100 or 200 mg. RESULTS Of 338 (n = 124/214 in reSURFACE 1/2) and 307 (n = 147/160 in reSURFACE 1/2) patients continuously receiving tildrakizumab 100 and 200 mg, respectively, throughout the studies, 26/44 (21%/21%) and 34/30 (23%/19%) met MetS criteria. Proportions of patients who achieved a 75% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) in reSURFACE 1/2 were generally comparable among those with versus without MetS at week 52 (tildrakizumab 100 mg, 85%/86% vs 86%/94%; tildrakizumab 200 mg, 76%/87% vs 76%/87%) and through week 148. Results were similar for responders with 90% and 100% improvement in the PASI. Tildrakizumab's safety profile did not vary by MetS status. LIMITATIONS Small sample size and post hoc analysis limit interpretation. CONCLUSION Long-term tildrakizumab efficacy and safety were comparable between patients with and without MetS.

Abstract
Off-label treatment with reduced doses of biological therapies for moderate-severe psoriasis is used, but its efficacy, safety, and persistence are not well known. We have compared reduced doses with standard an escalated doses and study predictive factors for a successful reduction of doses lasting more than 6 months. We included 303 subcutaneous treatments (33% with reduced doses and 29% with escalated doses). Eighty (80.8%) reduced treatments were successful. Patients with longer evolution of the disease or patients treated with drugs different from adalimumab presented an increased risk of failure. Median drug survival did not differ between the different dosing schedules. Adverse events percentage was higher in the group treated with standard doses. Unlike previous literature, ustekinumab is the drug most commonly used at reduced doses in the present study. We have found similar efficacy rates in patients with dose modification compared with patients with standard dose, without further persistence problems. Our results suggest that reduction of dose should be done early, at the time of reaching a good response (PASI 90 or PASI <3 in two consecutive visits) as this dosing seems to be safe and portends no problems regarding persistence or adverse effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease-related to psoriasis. Its treatment is challenging, and little is known about the sustainability of different medications. The aim of this study was to analyze drug survival rates and drug discontinuation in the treatment of PPP under real-world conditions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with PPP treated in the dermatology departments of five German university medical centers between 01/2005 and 08/2017 were included in our retrospective study. Drug survival of systemic therapies was assessed with Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate regression. RESULTS Overall, 347 patients with 935 treatment courses were identified. Within the group of non-biologic systemic agents, apremilast showed the highest median drug survival (15 months), followed by cyclosporine (12 months), the combination of acitretin and topical PUVA (9 months), MTX (8 months), acitretin monotherapy (6 months), alitretinoin (5 months), and fumaric acid esters (3 months). Among biologicals, the highest maintenance rate was detected for certolizumab pegol (restricted mean: 47.4 months), followed by infliximab (median: 26 months), golimumab (22 months), ustekinumab (21 months), adalimumab (18 months), secukinumab (9 months), and etanercept (8 months). CONCLUSIONS Biologicals and apremilast may serve as second-line options for treatment of PPP and should be further evaluated.

Abstract
Drug survival of biologics represents their real-world effectiveness and safety. We conducted a meta-analysis of real-world evidence on the drug survival of biologics in treating psoriasis. We searched the PubMed, CENTRAL, and EMBASE databases from inception to 7th October 2017 for studies reporting the annual drug survival for at least 1 year. Two authors independently screened and selected relevant studies, and assessed their risk of bias. A third author was available for arbitrating discrepancies. We conducted a random-effects model meta-analysis to obtain the respective pooled drug survival from year 1 to 4. We conducted subgroup analysis on biologic-naïve subjects, discontinuation for loss of efficacy and adverse effects. We included 37 studies with 32,631 subjects. The drug survival for all biologics decreased with time, dropping from 66% at year 1 to 41% at year 4 for etanercept, from 69% to 47% for adalimumab, from 61% to 42% for infliximab, and from 82% to 56% for ustekinumab. Ustekinumab was associated with the highest drug survival in all and biologic-naïve subjects. Etanercept was associated with the lowest drug survival and was most commonly discontinued for loss of efficacy. Infliximab was most frequently associated with discontinuation for adverse effects. Clinicians may use this study as a reference in treating psoriasis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adalimumab (ADA) is a medication used in the treatment of several autoimmune diseases. Despite the beneficial effects of ADA, its adherence and persistence rates are low. Patients treated with ADA from Clalit Health Services (CHS) can enroll in AbbVie's patient support program (PSP), which aims to improve ADA adherence and persistence. Therefore, we examine whether PSP participation is associated with a longer persistence and/or an improved adherence to ADA. METHODS A real-world retrospective cohort study of all new ADA users from CHS, comparing those enrolled in the offered PSP to those not enrolled. The data regarding PSP users can be tracked using CHS's data warehouse. The index date was defined as the date of the patients' first purchase of ADA occurring between August 1, 2012 and December 31, 2014. The follow-up data were collected at 12, 24, and 36 months. Persistence was assessed using survival analyses of time until discontinuation, and adherence was assessed using medication possession ratio (MPR). RESULTS There were 1520 patients in the study, 755 (49.7%) of whom were PSP users. PSP users were 54.3% female vs. 51.9% among non-PSP users (p = 0.355) and they were significantly younger than non-PSP users (mean age 42.3 vs. 45.0 years, p = 0.002) The PSP and non-PSP users' persistence was 673 and 574 days, respectively (p < 0.001). Further, the PSP users were more likely than the non-PSP users to be persistently taking medication at the 12-month follow-up (57.5% vs. 45.6%, p < 0.001). The 12-month mean adherence rate among those with at least 12 months of persistence was significantly improved for the PSP users compared to the non-PSP users (94.1% vs. 92.9%, p = 0.026). CONCLUSION The AbbVie PSP provided to CHS patients was associated with a longer persistence among new users of ADA. It was also associated with significantly higher adherence rate within the first 12 months. FUNDING AbbVie Inc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Moderate-to-severe psoriasis frequently requires long-term systemic therapy. Reflecting efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction, drug survival is an indicator of therapeutic success. The objective of the present study was to assess drug survival rates and reasons for discontinuation of fumaric acid esters (FAE), methotrexate (MTX), acitretin (ACI), cyclosporine A (CyA), adalimumab (ADA), etanercept (ETA), infliximab (INF), and ustekinumab (UST) in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of 373 patients who had received a total of 696 treatment courses at a German university hospital in the period 1/2003-5/2014. RESULTS The crude probability of survival was highest for UST, followed by ADA, ETA, INF, FAE, MTX, ACI, and CyA. In multivariate regression analysis using FAE as reference, hazard ratios (HR) for discontinuation were 0.14 (95 % confidence interval: 0.06-0.35) for UST, 0.43 (0.26-0.73) for ADA, 2.11 (1.14-3.91) for ACI, and 3.26 (1.44-7.39) for CyA. INF showed longer survival when combined with MTX (HR 2.87, 1.21-6.81). Traditional systemic antipsoriatic agents as well as INF were most frequently discontinued due to adverse events; all other biologics, due to inefficacy with respect to cutaneous lesions. CONCLUSIONS Drug survival rates should be integrated into therapeutic decisions in order to provide patients with an optimal long-term strategy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis has a profound impact on patients' lives, but adherence to topical treatment of psoriasis is still poor. Biologic treatment has revolutionized the management of psoriasis, but adherence to treatment may still be a barrier for some patients. Areas covered: A PubMed search was conducted in August 2017 using the terms 'biologics psoriasis adherence' and 'biologics psoriasis survival.' Additional articles were obtained by perusing the references of articles identified in the original PubMed search. Articles that did not specifically mention 'survival,' 'adherence,' or 'persistence' were not included. We review the measures used to assess adherence to biologics for psoriasis and the factors impacting drug survival and adherence rates for biologics in psoriasis. Expert commentary: Drug survival and adherence rates for biologic therapy is less than ideal but may be modifiable. Means that may improve adherence and drug survival include individualized choice of biologic and providing additional support for patients who are at increased risk for prematurely stopping treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adalimumab therapy has an established record of high efficacy in psoriasis treatment. However, only a limited number of studies have investigated long-term results in clinical practice. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of adalimumab in a center for biological therapy in the Czech Republic. METHODS Retrospectively, we analyzed 90 patients with moderate to severe psoriasis who were treated with adalimumab between 2008 and 2016. The proportion of patients achieving PASI75, 90, and 100 after 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months was determined. RESULTS The mean period of treatment was 4.4 years (maximum duration reached was 8.6 years). PASI75 was observed in 85.6% of patients after 3 months, PASI90 in 50%, and PASI100 in 23.3%. Throughout the 3-year analysis, PASI90 was persistent in 91.4% and PASI100 in 51.7%. The majority of patients who reached PASI100 showed a trend to maintain the response in the long-term follow-up. No safety issues were identified. CONCLUSIONS Adalimumab is effective and safe in the long-term treatment of psoriatic patients in daily clinical practice. Once patients achieved PASI100, they tended to remain stable in treatment.

Abstract
Background Drug survival, defined as the time until discontinuation, is a parameter reflecting real-world therapeutic effectiveness. Few studies have examined the influence of economic factors on the drug survival of biologic agents for psoriasis, particularly in Asian countries. Objective To determine the drug survival for ustekinumab in real-life settings and investigate the factors affecting drug survival for psoriasis patients in Korea. Methods We evaluated 98 psoriasis patients who were treated with ustekinumab at a single center. We analyzed the efficacy and drug survival of ustekinumab. Cox proportional hazard analysis and competing risk regression analysis were performed to reveal the factors affecting the drug survival of ustekinumab. Results The overall mean drug survival was 1,596 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 904~2,288). Among the 39 cessations of ustekinumab treatment, 9 (23.1%) patients discontinued treatment after experiencing satisfactory results. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that paying on patients' own expense was the major predictor for the discontinuation of ustekinumab (hazard ratio [HR], 9.696; 95% CI, 4.088~22.998). Competing risk regression analysis modeling of discontinuation because of factors other than satisfaction of an event also revealed that ustekinumab treatment at the patient's expense (HR, 4.138; 95% CI, 1.684~10.168) was a predictor of discontinuation rather than satisfaction. Conclusion The results of our study revealed that the cost of biologics treatment affects the drug survival of ustekinumab and suggested that economic factors affect the drug survival of ustekinumab treatment in Korea.

Abstract
Drug survival measures the length of time until discontinuation of a drug. The length of time a patient remains on a biologic drug is impacted by several factors such as tolerability, side effects, safety profile and effectiveness. To evaluate the long-term drug survival, data of the most commonly prescribed biologic medications used in the treatment of psoriasis, a systematic review was conducted. A literature search using PubMed, the Cochrane Library and the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature from January 1 2010 to October 28 2016 identified 3734 abstracts. Of which, 36 publications with over 40,000 patients met the inclusion criteria. The median overall drug survival for ustekinumab, adalimumab, infliximab and etanercept was 38.0, 36.5, 26.6 and 24.7 months, respectively. The mean annual drug survival rate of TNF inhibitors was 70%, 57%, 51%, 45% and 41% at years-1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. The 5-year mean annual drug survival rate of ustekinumab was 87%, 78%, 70%, 71% and 51%, respectively. Based on our findings, ustekinumab appears to have a longer drug survival with lower rates of discontinuation compared to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors.

Trial Characteristics as Contextual Factors When Evaluating Targeted Therapies in Patients With Psoriatic Disease: A Meta-Epidemiologic Study. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2017; 70:1206-1217.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the importance of trial characteristics as contextual factors when evaluating the treatment effect of targeted therapies for patients with psoriatic disease. METHODS We identified randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating targeted therapies approved for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis (8 biologics and apremilast). The effect of targeted therapies was analyzed in the 2 psoriatic conditions combined by using drug retention as a common outcome, and separately by using the American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement criteria (ACR20) for PsA and the Psoriasis Area Severity Index 75% improvement score (PASI75) for psoriasis. We explored potential effect modification of trial characteristics in stratified and meta-regression analyses. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated and compared among the trial eligibility criteria via the ratio of ORs. RESULTS Forty-eight PsA and psoriasis trials (51 comparisons; 17,737 patients) were eligible. Overall retention was OR 2.16 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.70-2.75) with higher odds for PsA trials compared with psoriasis trials (ratio of ORs 2.55 [95% CI 1.64-3.97]). The eligibility criteria "targeted therapy history," "minimum required disease duration," "required negative rheumatoid factor," and "required Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis criteria" were of importance for achieving ACR20 in PsA. The eligibility criterion "minimum required disease duration" was of importance for achieving PASI75 in psoriasis. A total of 7 PsA trials had rescue before time-point-of-retention reporting (adaptive trials). CONCLUSION From this exploratory meta-epidemiologic study, we now have evidence from RCTs to support the notion that patients with PsA are more likely to adhere to targeted therapies compared to patients with psoriasis. Furthermore, we identified a few contextual factors of importance in regard to achieving ACR20 in PsA trials and PASI75 in psoriasis trials.

Abstract
The ongoing worldwide obesity epidemic makes the metabolic syndrome an increasingly important entity. In this review, we provide a short background on the metabolic syndrome, we discuss recent developments in the three main options that have been identified for intervention in the metabolic syndrome, i.e. lifestyle and surgical and pharmacological interventions, and we focus on different views in the literature and also include our own viewpoints on the metabolic syndrome. In addition, we discuss some emerging treatment targets for adipose tissue dysfunction and low-grade inflammation, i.e. activation of the inflammasome and the complement system, and consider some selected opportunities for intervention in these processes.
