Characterization of Super-Responder Profile in Chronic Plaque Psoriatic Patients under Guselkumab Treatment: A Long-Term Real-Life Experience.

The term "super responder" identifies a group of patients who exhibit a rapid and optimal response to biological treatment compared to the overall treated population. The primary objective of our study is to characterize this subgroup of patients to enable the early identification of those who will respond most effectively to the proposed treatment while also evaluating clinical efficacy. This retrospective study evaluated 232 patients treated with guselkumab in monotherapy for at least 20 weeks between November 2018 and November 2023.

Long-Term Persistence Rate of Secukinumab in Psoriatic Patients: A Six-Year Multicenter, Real-World Experience, Retrospective Study.

: Psoriatic disease, a chronic immune-mediated systemic inflammatory condition, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. The advent of highly targeted biological therapies has transformed treatment strategies, emphasizing the importance of selecting the most effective and cost-efficient option. Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO).

Efficacy and Safety of Dupilumab in the Treatment of Hand Eczema: A Retrospective Study.

Hand eczema (HE) is a prevalent chronic condition that exerts a substantial and enduring adverse effect on quality of life (QoL) and imposes an economic burden on society. Managing HE poses challenges due to the limited effectiveness and potential adverse effects associated with many currently available topical and systemic treatments. This article examines twenty-one patients affected by HE treated with dupilumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin IL-4 and IL-13 signaling.

Deucravacitinib, a selective tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Introduction: Protein kinases play a crucial role in intracellular signaling pathways that lead to inflammation and cell proliferation. New understandings of the involvement of these metabolic pathways in the pathogenesis of psoriasis allowed the development of a new class of drugs. Unlike biologics, these compounds work by blocking intracellular targets involved in the immune response.

Guselkumab for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis: real-life effectiveness and drug-survival for up to 148 weeks.

Background: Real-world data are useful to guide the management of psoriasis. Here, we present data on the effectiveness and survival of guselkumab in moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis for up to 148 weeks.

Research Design And Methods: Cross-sectional study of 122 patients receiving guselkumab (100 mg at weeks 0 and 4, and then every 8 weeks thereafter) for>12 weeks, from November 2018 to April 2022.
