Abstract
BACKGROUND
Psoriasis, an inflammatory skin disease, is often treated with biologic therapeutics.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the real-world treatment effectiveness of risankizumab, an interleukin-23 inhibitor, in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
METHODS
A retrospective, observational study was conducted using the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry for eligible adults with a diagnosis of moderate-to-severe psoriasis and persistent use of risankizumab at 12 (±3) months after initiation. Skin clearance measures and patient-reported outcomes were analyzed for the entire study population and by prior biologic treatment.
RESULTS
Among 287 patients with persistent risankizumab use at 1 year, most achieved clear or clear/almost clear skin and reported significant reductions in Dermatology Life Quality Index scores, psoriasis symptoms (fatigue, skin pain, and overall itch), and work and activity impairment.
LIMITATIONS
The CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry is not necessarily representative of all adults with psoriasis in the United States and Canada and does not measure patient adherence.
CONCLUSION
Patients treated with risankizumab, regardless of prior treatment, achieved high levels of clear and clear/almost clear skin, Dermatology Life Quality Index scores of 0/1, and significant reductions in psoriasis symptoms (fatigue, skin pain, and overall itch) and work and activity impairment 1 year after initiation.
