Multicenter Retrospective Andalusian Study of the Use of Sonidegib for the Treatment of Local Advanced Basal Cell Carcinoma in Real Clinical Practice.

Introduction: Locally advanced basal cell carcinoma (LA-BCC) is defined as that BCC in which there is radiological confirmation of invasion of certain neighboring structures in depth and also, usually, a BCC that is of a sufficient size and invasion (although there is no radiological demonstration of deep invasion) in which surgery and radiotherapy are not adequate, are insufficient or are contraindicated to achieve the cure of the tumor, either due to characteristics of the tumor itself or of the patient. Sonidegib is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with locally advanced basal cell carcinoma that is not amenable to curative surgery or radiotherapy.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter and descriptive study in nine centers in Andalusia, Spain.

Brodalumab: Efficacy, safety, and survival in mid-term (52 weeks) on real clinical practice in Andalucia, Spain.

Introduction: Brodalumab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody (IgG2) that binds with high affinity to the human interleukin-17 (IL-17) receptor A and blocks the biological activity of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-17A/F heterodimer, and IL- 25, resulting in inhibition of inflammation and clinical symptoms associated with psoriasis. Its introduction has managed to increase the levels of efficacy, safety (improving that previously presented by the anti-IL-17 class), and survival.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of a multicenter, observational study of real clinical practice including patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in treatment with brodalumab.

Super-Responders in Moderate-Severe Psoriasis under Guselkumab Treatment: Myths, Realities and Future Perspectives.

A fast skin clearance is the main goal to achieve in psoriasis treatment. Patients that present a fast and exceptional improvement with treatment are called super-responders (SR). There is no consensus on the definition of SR with respect to psoriasis.

Guselkumab dosing interval optimization in adult patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis switching from ustekinumab.

Psoriasis (PSO) is an inflammatory disease that emerges as a dysregulation of the interleukin 23 (IL23)/Th17 axis. There are many biologic alternatives to treat PSO that are administered monthly, every 2 months and every 3 months. Guselkumab (GUS) is a fully human monoclonal antibody, that selectively blocks IL-23 through binding to its p19 subunit.
