Background: Guselkumab has been shown to be safe and effective for the treatment of psoriasis in numerous randomized clinical trials and real-life studies. Real life data on treatment up to 4 years are lacking.
Objectives: The present study aims to estimate the drug survival DS, effectiveness, and safety of guselkumab over a period of 208 weeks (w).
Patients with treated solid tumors (TST) are a highly heterogeneous and difficult-to-treat population due to the risk of disease progression/recurrence or infection. We conducted an observational, retrospective, single-center study at the Dermatology Clinic of Turin with a focus on the special population of cancer patients with psoriasis treated with biologics. As of July 2023, 52 psoriatic patients with a prior/concomitant history of malignancy had taken biologic drugs.

Objective: evaluate effectiveness and drug survival (DS) of secukinumab in patients with psoriasis for up to 5 years.
Methods: This is a retrospective study on a monocentric cohort of patients with psoriasis on secukinumab evaluating the achievement of PASI100, PASI90, and PASI ≤ 3 and DS analysis up to 260 weeks.
Background: Inverse psoriasis (IP) is a variant of plaque psoriasis involving flexor surfaces. A clear definition of IP is still lacking. Therapy is based on topical and systemic treatments, including classic systemic drugs and biologic agents, but a well-defined therapeutic strategy is absent.

The present study aims to estimate the drug survival (DS), effectiveness, and safety of brodalumab over a period of 156 weeks.
Methods: The primary objectives were: (i) to determine the treatment response rate at Weeks 16, 28, 52, 78, 104, and 156 as defined by PASI100, PASI90, and an absolute PASI ≤ 3 and (ii) long-term DS.
