Drug Survival and Safety of Biosimilars Compared with Originator Adalimumab for Psoriasis: A Multinational Cohort Study.

Background: The lack of evidence under routine clinical settings limited the widespread adoption of adalimumab biosimilars for psoriasis treatment.

Objective: This study compared the drug survival and safety of adalimumab biosimilars to Humira for psoriasis treatment.

Methods: We conducted a prevalent new-user cohort study using data from the French National Health Data System (SNDS), the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics and Immunomodulators Register (BADBIR), and the Spanish Registry of Systemic Therapy in Psoriasis (BIOBADADERM).

A Non-Interventional, Multicenter Study to Characterize the Socio-Demographics, Clinical Characteristics, and Management of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Patients in Spain: IMPULSE Study.

Introduction: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic, rare, and potentially life-threatening skin condition characterized by flares comprising widespread sterile pustules and systemic inflammation. Both the rarity and heterogeneity of the disease have made GPP classification and standardization of clinical criteria challenging. Before the approval of spesolimab (IL-36R antibody) in 2022, there were no approved treatments in the USA or Europe for GPP flares.

Generalized pustular psoriasis: practical recommendations for Spanish primary care and emergency physicians.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare chronic inflammatory skin disease that can lead to life-threatening complications and require emergency medical treatment. Recurrent GPP flares are characterized by the sudden onset of widespread erythematous skin rash with sterile pustules, at times associated with fever, chills, general malaise, and other systemic inflammatory manifestations. Systemic complications such as cardiorespiratory failure, infections, and sepsis are potentially life-threatening and can result in an emergency department visit and/or hospitalization.

Safety of biologic therapy in combination with methotrexate in moderate to severe psoriasis: a cohort study from the BIOBADADERM registry.

Background: Safety is an important consideration in decisions on treatment for patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis and the study of drug safety is the main purpose of the BIOBADADERM registry. The combination of a biologic agent and a conventional systemic drug [generally methotrexate (MTX)] is a common treatment in clinical practice. However, there is a paucity of evidence from real-world practice on the safety of such combination regimens in the treatment of psoriasis.

Effectiveness and safety of tildrakizumab for the treatment of psoriasis in real-world settings at 24 weeks: A retrospective, observational, multicentre study by the Spanish Psoriasis Group.

Background: Tildrakizumab is a humanized, IgG1/κ antibody that interacts with the p19 subunit of interleukin 23. It is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Real-world evidence on the effectiveness and safety of tildrakizumab is limited.

Tildrakizumab improves high burden skin symptoms, impaired sleep and quality of life of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients in conditions close to clinical practice.

Background: Tildrakizumab (TIL) is an interleukin (IL)-23p19 inhibitor for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis with long-term efficacy and safety demonstrated in Phase III trials. Studies conducted in conditions closer to clinical practice are needed.

Objectives: The TRIBUTE study (open-label, Phase IV) assessed the efficacy and impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of TIL 100 mg in adult moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients (naïve to IL-23/Th17 pathway inhibitors) in conditions similar to clinical practice.

Generalized Pustular Psoriasis: A Review on Clinical Characteristics, Diagnosis, and Treatment.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, and severe inflammatory skin disorder characterized by sudden eruption of sterile pustules, often accompanied by systemic inflammation. GPP flares can be life-threatening if untreated, owing to potential serious complications such as sepsis and cardiovascular failure. Diagnosis and clinical measurement of disease severity in GPP are often difficult.

Secukinumab demonstrates superiority over narrow-band ultraviolet B phototherapy in new-onset moderate to severe plaque psoriasis patients: Week 52 results from the STEPIn study.

Background: Biologic treatments have been studied mainly in patients with a long-term history of psoriasis and previous treatment failures.

Objectives: The purpose of this primary analysis of the STEPIn study is to determine whether early intervention with secukinumab in patients with new-onset moderate to severe plaque psoriasis is superior to standard of care treatment with narrow band ultraviolet B (nb-UVB) phototherapy.

Methods: The STEPIn study is a randomized, open-label, multicentre study to investigate early intervention with 52 weeks of secukinumab 300 mg administered subcutaneously versus standard treatment with nb-UVB phototherapy in patients with new-onset (≤12 months) moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (NCT03020199).

Secukinumab is effective and safe in the long-term treatment of plaque psoriasis in a daily practice setting: Multicenter study in 384 Spanish patients.

The aim of the study was to assess the long-term effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Spanish patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in a daily practice setting. Nationwide multicenter, observational, retrospective, non-interventional, single-cohort study including patients who initiated treatment with secukinumab in daily clinical practice conditions. Subjects were followed for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 24 months.

Secukinumab demonstrates efficacy, safety, and tolerability upon administration by 2 ml autoinjector in adult patients with plaque psoriasis: 52-week results from MATURE, a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Convenient administration is an important factor for treatment adherence in patients with psoriasis. MATURE study reports the efficacy, safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PKs) of secukinumab 300 mg 2 ml autoinjector (AI) from MATURE trial (NCT03589885). Eligible patients were randomized to secukinumab 300 mg 2 ml AI or 2× 1 ml prefilled syringe (PFS) or placebo.
