A Review of the Safety of Interleukin-17A Inhibitor Secukinumab. Pharmaceuticals (Basel) 2022; 15:ph15111365. [PMID: 36355537 PMCID: PMC9695424 DOI: 10.3390/ph15111365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Secukinumab is an anti-interleukin (IL)-17A IgG1-κ monoclonal antibody approved for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Its efficacy is well documented, but the complete safety profile of secukinumab, especially on long-term use, needs to be studied. IL-17 inhibitors increase the risk of infections, especially respiratory tract infections and candidiasis, and inflammatory bowel disease; the causal relationships are well described. However, evidence regarding the other adverse events is scarce, and causal associations between the adverse events and the biologic remain unresolved. This review aims to present a narrative perspective on the safety of secukinumab and identify some key areas where the safety of secukinumab may potentially be useful in understanding the scope of secukinumab therapy and making informed clinical decisions.

Abstract
Although secukinumab has demonstrated high efficacy and favorable safety in moderate-to-severe psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, patients developing adverse events of special interest (AESI) were reported increasingly in real-world practice. A systematic literature search of the PubMed database was conducted to identify clinical studies or case reports on secukinumab-induced AESI. More than 1077 patients (aged 18-74 years) from 55 studies were reported to have 24 AESI 3 days to 96 weeks after secukinumab treatment. The four most common AESI was inflammatory bowel disease (n > 1000), eczematous drug eruption (n > 30), drug-associated vasculitis (n = 8), and drug-induced lupus erythematosus (n = 4). Most of these AESI were only mild to moderately severe and resolved after secukinumab discontinuation without or with symptomatic treatment. Secukinumab has the potential to develop a number of AESI by probably dysregulating the different expression of polar T-cell axes (Th1, Th2, Th17, Th22, and/or Treg) and driving various cytokines in some patients. Physicians should be aware of these AESI for timely diagnosis and proper treatment. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Raynaud’s phenomenon is a painful vascular condition in which abnormal vasoconstriction of the digital arteries causes blanching of the skin. The treatment approach can vary depending on the underlying cause of disease. Raynaud’s phenomenon can present as a primary symptom, in which there is no evidence of underlying disease, or secondary to a range of medical conditions or therapies. Systemic sclerosis is one of the most frequent causes of secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon; its appearance may occur long before other signs and symptoms. Timely, accurate identification of secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon may accelerate a final diagnosis and positively alter prognosis. Capillaroscopy is fundamental in the diagnosis and differentiation of primary and secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon. It is helpful in the very early stages of systemic sclerosis, along with its role in disease monitoring. An extensive range of pharmacotherapies with various routes of administration are available for Raynaud’s phenomenon but a standardized therapeutic plan is still lacking. This review provides insight into recent advances in the understanding of Raynaud’s phenomenon pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, and treatment approaches.

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.
