Abstract
Introduction: Conventional topical therapies and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for patients with psoriasis are often linked to inadequate outcomes and risk of multiple adverse effects. Biologic agents such as etanercept (ETN) have revolutionized the therapeutic management of psoriasis, allowing the treatment of most difficult cases, and fragile patients.Areas covered: The authors searched PubMed using the term 'psoriasis,' 'etanercept,' and 'safety.' Articles considered by the authors to be most relevant, such as randomized controlled studies, cohort studies, and review articles placing emphasis on studies of efficacy and safety were selected. Case reports and letters relating to safety were also included. The main sources of data referenced by these articles were also included in the review. Besides, to get the relevant studies, the reference lists were examined to identify the potentially available studies. The aim of this review is to describe the safety profile of ETN, used for psoriasis treatment, focusing on related clinical implications.Expert opinion: ETN has a favorable safety profile, and its use should be largely considered in psoriatic patients. Caution should be recommended in case of chronic heart failure, autoimmune disease, previous malignancies, familial history of demyelinating diseases, latent TBC infection, chronic HBV and HCV infection or HIV.

Pei D, Cao J, Qin G, Wang X. Measurement of circulating miRNA-125a exhibits good value in the management of etanercept-treated psoriatic patients. J Dermatol 2019; 47:140-146. [PMID: 31820498 DOI: 10.1111/1346-8138.15157] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2019] [Accepted: 10/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the correlation of miR-125a with risk and severity of psoriasis, and further investigate the potential of miR-125a for predicting response to etanercept (ETN) treatment in psoriatic patients. Moderate to severe plaque psoriatic patients (n = 126) about to undergo ETN treatment for 6 months were recruited. Their plasma samples were obtained, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores and PASI-75 response rate were assessed at baseline (M0), and at 1 (M1), 3 (M3) and 6 months (M6) of treatment. Referring to PASI-75 response status at M6, patients were categorized as PASI-75 responders and PASI-75 non-responders. Healthy controls (HC, n =120) were also enrolled and their plasma samples were collected. In addition, plasma miR-125a was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. miR-125a was decreased in psoriatic patients compared with HC; further, the receiver-operator curve (ROC) exhibited that miR-125a was of good value in differentiating psoriatic patients from HC with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.802. In psoriatic patients, miR-125a was negatively associated with PASI score to some extent. Interestingly, baseline miR-125a was lower in PASI-75 responders than PASI-75 non-responders; further, ROC showed it predicted PASI-75 response at M6 to some extent with AUC of 0.672. Multivariate logistic regression also revealed that miR-125a was an independent predictive factor for worse PASI-75 response at M6. Furthermore, miR-125a expression was gradually increased during the treatment in PASI-75 responders, but unchanged in PASI-75 non-responders. Measurement of circulating miR-125a exhibits good value in the management of ETN-treated psoriatic patients.

Abstract
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease defined by the presence of non-caseating granulomas. It can affect a number of organ systems, most commonly the lungs, lymph nodes, and skin. Cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis can impose a significant detriment to patients' quality of life. The accepted first-line therapy for cutaneous sarcoidosis consists of intralesional and oral corticosteroids, but these can fail in the face of resistant disease and corticosteroid-induced adverse effects. Second-line agents include tetracyclines, hydroxychloroquine, and methotrexate. Biologics are an emerging treatment option for the management of cutaneous sarcoidosis, but their role in management is not well-defined. In this article, we reviewed the currently available English-language publications on the use of biologics in managing cutaneous sarcoidosis. Although somewhat limited, the data in published studies support the use of both infliximab and adalimumab as third-line treatments for chronic or resistant cutaneous sarcoidosis. There were also scattered reports of etanercept, rituximab, golimumab, and ustekinumab being utilized as third-line agents with varying degrees of success. Larger and more extensive investigations are required to further assess the adverse effect profile and optimal dosing for managing cutaneous sarcoidosis.

Surveillance of adverse drug events associated with etanercept prescribed for juvenile idiopathic arthritis in a single center up to 9-years: A retrospective observational study. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0204573. [PMID: 30412634 PMCID: PMC6226161 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0204573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2018] [Accepted: 09/11/2018] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
The introduction of biologic agents opened a new era of treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) over the past decade. From clinical experience, it appears that biological agents are well tolerated overall, and serious adverse events are rare. However, such clinical studies have not been conducted in Korea. Therefore, we examined the safety profile of JIA patients with biologics in a single center in Korea. All JIA outpatients treated from April 2004 to June 2013 were enrolled and retrospectively reviewed. Pharmacy-based surveillance of adverse drug events (ADEs) was identified by recording the patient's symptoms in the medical record and suspected ADEs were additionally explored by screening laboratory test values and observing changes in medication orders. Finally, 83 patients were enrolled and experienced 109 ADEs in 52 patients. Most ADEs (99.1%) were mild to moderate in severity assessment. The total follow-up time was 328 patient-treatment years and the overall rate of ADEs was 0.33 per patient-years for etanercept. Infection including upper respiratory tract was the most common ADE and concomitant corticosteroids contributed to the risk of infections. If the dose of prednisolone increases 0.34 mg/kg/day, the probability of developing infections increases 3.29 times. Also, all 11 patients who stopped etanercept with injection site reactions were receiving a single use prefilled syringe. In our study, etanercept appears well tolerated and safe. Children affected by JIA should be carefully monitoring so as to limit the risk of ADEs during etanercept as much as possible. To gain further knowledge about risk profiles, national collaboration for the accumulation of long-term data should be encouraged in Korea.

Abstract
Etanercept is approved for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis at a dose of 50 mg twice weekly for 3 months followed by a maintenance dosage of 50 mg weekly thereafter. Clinical studies have shown excellent efficacy, favorable benefit to side-effects ratio, and safe long-term usage. Extensive information on safety is available as etanercept has been used for many years for other indications such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis and is the first of the tumor necrosis factor antagonists to gain approval in psoriasis.
