Abstract
Background: Little is known about the extent of impairments in work and activities of daily life (ADL) in patients with psoriasis, and the influence of contextual factors such as disease-related characteristics and treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to assess these impairments in patients with psoriasis who started using biologicals/small molecule inhibitors.Methods: Using data from the prospective BioCAPTURE registry, we collected patient, disease, and treatment parameters, as well as work/ADL impairments at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Changes in impairment parameters and correlations between impairment and patient/disease characteristics were assessed using generalized estimating equations.Results: We included 194 patients in our analysis. After biological initiation, disease activity decreased significantly (PASI 11.2 at baseline versus 3.9 at 12 months, p < 0.001). Work-for-pay in this cohort was lower than in the Dutch general population (53% versus 67%, p = 0.01). In patients who had work-for-pay, presenteeism improved over time (5% at baseline versus 0% at 12 months, p = 0.04). Up to half of the patients reported impairments in ADL, which did not change over time. Associations between impairments and contextual factors varied, but all impairments were associated with worse mental/physical general functioning.Conclusion: Patients with psoriasis using biologicals are less likely to have work-for-pay. Treatment improves the work productivity of employed patients, but we were unable to detect changes in ADL performance.

A systematic review of 454 randomized controlled trials using the Dermatology Life Quality Index: experience in 69 diseases and 43 countries. Br J Dermatol 2024; 190:315-339. [PMID: 36971254 DOI: 10.1093/bjd/ljad079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/14/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Over 29 years of clinical application, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) has remained the most used patient-reported outcome (PRO) in dermatology due to its robustness, simplicity and ease of use. OBJECTIVES To generate further evidence of the DLQI's utility in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and to cover all diseases and interventions. METHODS The methodology followed PRISMA guidelines and included seven bibliographical databases, searching articles published from 1 January 1994 until 16 November 2021. Articles were reviewed independently by two assessors, and an adjudicator resolved any opinion differences. RESULTS Of 3220 screened publications, 454 articles meeting the eligibility criteria for inclusion, describing research on 198 190 patients, were analysed. DLQI scores were primary endpoints in 24 (5.3%) of studies. Most studies were of psoriasis (54.1%), although 69 different diseases were studied. Most study drugs were systemic (85.1%), with biologics comprising 55.9% of all pharmacological interventions. Topical treatments comprised 17.0% of total pharmacological interventions. Nonpharmacological interventions, mainly laser therapy and ultraviolet radiation treatment, comprised 12.2% of the total number of interventions. The majority of studies (63.7%) were multicentric, with trials conducted in at least 42 different countries; 40.2% were conducted in multiple countries. The minimal clinically importance difference (MCID) was reported in the analysis of 15.0% of studies, but only 1.3% considered full score meaning banding of the DLQI. Forty-seven (10.4%) of the studies investigated statistical correlation of the DLQI with clinical severity assessment or other PRO/quality of life tools; and 61-86% of studies had within-group scores differences greater than the MCID in 'active treatment arms'. The Jadad risk-of-bias scale showed that bias was generally low, as 91.8% of the studies had Jadad scores of ≥ 3; only 0.4% of studies showed a high risk of bias from randomization. Thirteen per cent had a high risk of bias from blinding and 10.1% had a high risk of bias from unknown outcomes of all participants in the studies. In 18.5% of the studies the authors declared that they followed an intention-to-treat protocol; imputation for missing DLQI data was used in 34.4% of studies. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provides a wealth of evidence of the use of the DLQI in clinical trials to inform researchers' and -clinicians' decisions for its further use. Recommendations are also made for improving the reporting of data from future RCTs using the DLQI.

VALUE IN HEALTH : THE JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR PHARMACOECONOMICS AND OUTCOMES RESEARCH 2023; 26:123-137. [PMID: 35961865 DOI: 10.1016/j.jval.2022.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 05/14/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to conduct a scoping review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and investigate which work productivity loss outcomes were measured in these RCTs, how each outcome was measured and analyzed, and how the results for each outcome were presented. METHODS A systematic search was conducted from January 2010 to April 2020 from 2 databases: PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Data on country, study population, disease focus, sample size, work productivity loss outcomes measured (absenteeism, presenteeism, employment status changes), and methods used to measure, report, and analyze each work productivity loss outcome were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS We found 435 studies measuring absenteeism or presenteeism, of which 155 studies (35.6%) measured both absenteeism and presenteeism and were included in our final review. Only 9 studies also measured employment status changes. The most used questionnaire was the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire. The analysis of absenteeism and presenteeism data was mostly done using regression models (n = 98, n = 98, respectively) for which a normal distribution was assumed (n = 77, n = 89, respectively). Absenteeism results were most often presented in time whereas presenteeism was commonly presented using a percent scale or score. CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of consensus on how to measure, analyze, and present work productivity loss outcomes in RCTs published in the past 10 years. The diversity of measurement, analysis, and presentation methods used in RCTs may make comparability challenging. There is a need for guidelines providing recommendations to standardize the comprehensiveness and the appropriateness of methods used to measure, analyze, and report work productivity loss in RCTs.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic, autoimmune, and inflammatory disease that affects 2% of the world's population. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that psoriasis confers a 25% increase in relative risk of cardiovascular disease, independent of factors such as hyperlipidemia, smoking, and obesity. The objective of this review was to analyze and describe the association between psoriasis and cardiovascular disease. In this review, we describe the epidemiological association of psoriasis and cardiovascular disease, pathophysiology, mechanisms, and its association with the well-known cardiovascular risk calculators. In addition, we describe diagnostic tools, such as imaging techniques and novel biomarkers, that are useful in the evaluation of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Finally, we present different systemic therapies that are used in patients with psoriasis and their effect on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This article provides an overview of the current literature on psoriasis and cardiovascular risk, which can be useful for primary care physicians in their daily clinical practice.

Elevated IL-38 inhibits IL-23R expression and IL-17A production in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. Int Immunopharmacol 2020; 91:107300.

Abstract
IL-23/IL-23R and PGE2/EP2+EP4 have been recognized as crucial signals that promote Th17 differentiation in many autoimmune diseases, including thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). However, the interactive role of IL-23R in IL-23/Th17 signaling and PGE2/Th17 signaling has not been clarified in TAO. Furthermore, the role of IL-38, a novel anti-inflammatory cytokine, has not been explored in TAO. Thus, we aimed to investigate the roles of IL-23R and IL-38 in the pathogenesis of TAO. Activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were cultured with or without IL-23 and PGE2. The results showed that IL-23R and IL-17A were upregulated to different degrees and reached the highest levels with both stimuli, indicating that IL-23 induced PBMCs to secrete PGE2, which further boosted the proportion of IL-23R+CD4+T cells to promote IL-17A secretion. Pretreatment with antagonists aimed at EP2/EP4 receptors diminished PGE2-induced upregulation of IL-23R and IL-17A. IL-38 in TAO patients was increased. Activated orbital fibroblasts (OFs) and PBMCs were pretreated with different concentrations of IL-38. IL-23R and IL-17A expression in circulating PBMCs and IL-6 and IL-8 in resident OFs were suppressed by IL-38 at relatively low concentrations. Our findings suggest that the feedback loop of IL-23/IL-23R/PGE2/EP2+EP4/IL-23R/IL-17A plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of TAO and that IL-23R is one of the key targets. Increased IL-38 in TAO could not only inhibit the expression of IL-23R and IL-17A in PBMCs but also suppress inflammation in OFs. Therapies targeting IL-23R may be effective, and IL-38 could be a potential therapeutic approach for TAO.

Abstract
Introduction: Primary endpoints and inclusion/exclusion criteria of biologics and small oral molecules for psoriasis treatment have been evolving due to a better understanding of the pathogenesis and potential risks.Areas covered: We analyzed the designs of key phase 3 pivotal trials of all biologics and small oral molecules approved for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis from published data on the ClinicalTrials.gov website and literature in the PubMed database. Alefacept, efalizumab, anti-tumor necrosis factors, anti-interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23, anti-IL-17 and anti-IL-23 inhibitors were discussed chronologically. Small oral molecules including tofacitinib and apremilast were also reviewed.Expert opinion: The primary endpoints of trials of biologics have been raised progressively and psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) 100 can now be readily achievable by the recent biologics. For safety, 5-year observation periods have become a gold standard after the report of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy after efalizumab. Also, the need for tuberculosis (TB) prophylaxis has also been relaxed in one trial of risankizumab. Small oral molecules are the future of affordable effective treatment for psoriasis, but the safety concerns must be overcome as reflected by their more stringent exclusion criteria. More biologic switch data and inclusion of patients previously excluded, e.g. viral hepatitis, are still needed.

Abstract
Therapies treating psoriasis can be categorized into five classes according to their mechanism: anti-metabolites (AM), anti-interleukin-12/23 agents (anti-IL12/23), anti-interleukin-17 agents (anti-IL17), anti-T-cell agent (ANT), and anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agent (anti-TNF-α). This network meta-analysis (NMA) aimed to give a quantitative and systemic evaluation of safety and efficacy for the five kinds of therapies mentioned above. Odds ratios and mean differences were calculated to evaluate binary and continuous outcomes, respectively. Forest plots were conducted to show the performance of pair-wise comparison of above therapies in each outcome, and surface under the cumulative ranking curves was given to evaluate the relative ranking of above therapies in each outcome. Node splitting was conducted to evaluate the consistency between direct and indirect evidence. Direct comparisons from 65 studies (32,352 patients) were included in this NMA. Our results showed an excellent efficacy of anti-IL12/23 and anti-IL17. However, these two therapies and anti-TNF-α were revealed to have a high possibility to cause adverse effects (AEs) such as infections. Additionally, node splitting showed that no inconsistency appeared between the direct and indirect comparisons. Anti-IL12/23 was the most recommended therapy according to this NMA. Anti-IL17 had similar efficacy to anti-IL12/23 but should be applied with caution since it has poor performance in safety outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tildrakizumab is a high-affinity, humanized, IgG1/κ, anti-interleukin (IL)-23p19 monoclonal antibody that does not bind human IL-12 or p40 is being developed for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous tildrakizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. METHODS A three-part, randomized, double-blind, phase IIb trial was conducted in 355 adults with chronic plaque psoriasis. Participants were randomized to receive subcutaneous tildrakizumab (5, 25, 100, 200 mg) or placebo at weeks 0 and 4 (part I) and every 12 weeks thereafter until week 52 (part II). Study drug was discontinued at week 52 and participants were followed through week 72 (part III). Primary efficacy end point was Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 response at week 16. Adverse events (AEs) and vital signs were monitored throughout the study. RESULTS At week 16, PASI 75 responses were 33·3% (n = 14), 64·4% (n = 58), 66·3% (n = 59), 74·4% (n = 64) and 4·4% (n = 2) in the 5-, 25-, 100- and 200-mg tildrakizumab and placebo groups, respectively (P ≤ 0·001 for each tildrakizumab dose vs. placebo). PASI 75 response was generally maintained through week 52; only eight of 222 participants who achieved PASI 75 response at week 52 and continued to part III relapsed following discontinuation up to week 72. Possible drug-related serious AEs included bacterial arthritis and lymphoedema (part I), and melanoma, stroke, epiglottitis and knee infection (part II). CONCLUSIONS Tildrakizumab had treatment effects that were superior to placebo, maintained for 52 weeks of treatment, and persisted for 20 weeks after cessation. Tildrakizumab was generally safe and well tolerated. These results suggest that IL-23p19 is a key target for suppressing psoriasis.

Abstract
: Interleukin-17 receptor A (IL-17RA) is responsible for both IL-17A and IL-25 (IL-17E) signaling pathways. Current evidences suggest distinct but interactive responses between IL-17A and IL-25 signaling, both of which are critical for intestinal immune homeostasis. IL-17RA is assumed to regulate this counterbalance and therefore becomes a crucial molecule in mucosal immunology. In this review, we will describe the structure of IL-17RA, compare IL-17A and IL-25 signaling pathways, and emphasize on the function of IL-17RA in intestinal inflammation and discuss current evidences of accomplished and ongoing clinical trials with monoclonal antibodies targeting Th17 pathway, especially IL-17RA.

Preclinical development of AMG 139, a human antibody specifically targeting IL-23. Br J Pharmacol 2015; 172:159-72. [PMID: 25205227 PMCID: PMC4280975 DOI: 10.1111/bph.12904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2014] [Revised: 08/20/2014] [Accepted: 09/02/2014] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE AMG 139 is a human anti-IL-23 antibody currently in a phase II trial for treating Crohn's disease. To support its clinical development in humans, in vitro assays and in vivo studies were conducted in cynomolgus monkeys to determine the pharmacology, preclinical characteristics and safety of this monoclonal antibody. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The in vitro pharmacology, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and toxicology of AMG 139, after single or weekly i.v. or s.c. administration for up to 26 weeks, were evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys. KEY RESULTS AMG 139 bound with high affinity to both human and cynomolgus monkey IL-23 and specifically neutralized the biological activity of IL-23 without binding or blocking IL-12. After a single dose, linear PK with s.c. bioavailability of 81% and mean half-life of 8.4-13 days were observed. After weekly s.c. dosing for 3 or 6 months, AMG 139 exposure increased approximately dose-proportionally from 30 to 300 mg·kg(-1) and mean accumulation between the first and last dose ranged from 2- to 3.5-fold. Peripheral blood immunophenotyping, T-cell-dependent antigen responses and bone formation markers were not different between AMG 139 and vehicle treatment. No adverse clinical signs, effects on body weight, vital signs, ophthalmic parameters, clinical pathology, ECG, organ weights or histopathology were observed in the monkeys with the highest dose of AMG 139 tested (300 mg·kg(-1) s.c. or i.v.). CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The in vitro pharmacology, PK, immunogenicity and safety characteristics of AMG 139 in cynomolgus monkeys support its continued clinical development for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of psoriasis has evolved over the years, with the focus now largely on the use of biologic agents. With treatment options expanding, evidence-based studies to guide physicians' treatment decisions become increasingly important. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to review current literature to provide an evidence-based update on systemic therapies for psoriasis. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted from 1 January 2012 through 1 July 2013 to identify all randomized clinical trials and systematic reviews of systemic psoriasis treatments. RESULTS A total of 46 publications were identified and reviewed. Randomized clinical trials for the treatment of psoriasis focused heavily on biologic agents, both currently approved agents and anti-interleukin (IL)-17 agents in development. The anti-IL-17 agents appear effective according to phase II clinical trials. Several new oral agents are being studied, and, although they do not appear as effective as the biologic agents, they may be an option as an alternative to traditional oral agents, with more favorable safety profiles. Several systematic reviews focused on efficacy among the biologics, with infliximab consistently superior to the others, and etanercept the least effective of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors. Longer-term safety data on biologics is now available and encouraging. LIMITATIONS Current studies of traditional oral therapies are lacking. CONCLUSIONS Current studies continue to support the use of biologic agents in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis, with better efficacy and safety profiles than traditional systemic agents. Newer anti-IL-17 agents and several new oral agents are in development and have shown promise in clinical trials.

Abstract
Background: Monoclonal antibodies known as biologic agents specifically targeted against interleukin-12 (IL-12), interleukin-17A (IL-17), and interleukin-23 (IL-23) have been the focus of research for moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis in recent years. Objectives: To discuss the immune-mediated model of psoriasis and to summarize current knowledge of the clinical efficacy and safety of new biologic agents for moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Methods: The PubMed database was searched for relevant articles on ustekinumab, briakinumab, tildrakizumab (MK-322), guselkumab, secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab published between January 2005 and July 2013. Results: Fifty-five articles were identified. These studies suggest that the biologic agents specifically targeting IL-12, IL-17, and IL-23 are efficacious and safe in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in adults. Conclusion: Current data from clinical trials suggest that biologic agents targeting IL-12, IL-17, and IL-23 are safe and efficacious drugs for use in moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Long-term data still need to be established.

Abstract
Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthropathy associated with psoriasis. Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease, characterized by hyperproliferation and aberrant differentiation of keratinocytes. PsA and PsO can be considered as a unique disease and are immune-mediated diseases and both innate and adaptive immunity play a role in their pathogenesis. Initially, PsO and PsA were thought to be Th1-mediated diseases, however, in the last years, several studies have shown the role of interleukin 17 (IL-17) and Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of PsA and PsO. Th17 cells have been detected in dermal infiltrates of psoriatic lesions as well as in synovial fluid. Interleukin (IL)-23, produced by antigen presenting cells (APC), especially by dendritic cells (DC), is the key regulator cytokine for Th17 and IL-17 production. In this review we discuss the role of IL-17 and IL-23 in the pathogenesis of PsO and PsA and their role as therapeutic targets for PsO and PsA treatment.
