Tildrakizumab and Quality of Life: Deep Dive into the Impact of Psoriasis and Treatment on Different Domains-Should Psychosocial Life Impairment Be Considered a Comorbidity?

: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that may have a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Alongside clinical scores, treatment goals include improvements in patients' quality of life, divided into its social, working and psychosocial life aspects. Indeed, psychological impairment should always be considered in the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Efficacy and Safety of Intra-Class Switching from Ixekizumab to Secukinumab in Patients with Plaque Psoriasis: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.

the present multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-class switching between interleukin-17A (IL-17A) inhibitors, specifically from ixekizumab to secukinumab, in patients with plaque psoriasis. this study included 11 patients (6 male, 5 female) who had previously received ixekizumab and then were switched to secukinumab. Patients' PASI, DLQI, and pain VAS (in those with psoriatic arthritis) were evaluated at weeks 16, 24, 54, and 98.

Effectiveness of tildrakizumab 200 mg: an Italian multicenter study.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated disease that can be challenging to treat, especially in patients with severe disease or high body weight. Tildrakizumab is a monoclonal antibody which inhibits IL-23, approved for moderate-to-severe psoriasis with a standard 100 mg dose. A 200 mg dose may provide greater efficacy for patients over 90 kg or with high disease burden.

Fast Clinical Response of Bimekizumab in Nail Psoriasis: A Retrospective Multicenter 36-Week Real-Life Study.

(1) Background/Objectives: Nail psoriasis (NP) is a chronic and difficult-to-treat disease, which causes significant social stigma and impairs the patients' quality of life. Moreover, nail psoriasis is a true therapeutic challenge for clinicians. The presence of nail psoriasis can be part of a severe form of psoriasis and can have predictive value for the development of psoriatic arthritis.

Expression Analysis of Circulating microRNAs in Saliva and Plasma for the Identification of Clinically Relevant Biomarkers for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders.

This study aims to evaluate the expression of salivary and plasmatic miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). A total of 25 patients were divided into three groups, according to their diagnosis: OSCC patients ( = 14); OPMDs patients ( = 6); and healthy controls ( = 5). At the time at diagnosis/enrolment, patients underwent salivary and plasmatic collection.

Effectiveness of guselkumab in patients with facial and/or genital psoriasis: Interim analysis results at Week 12 from the GULLIVER study.

Background: Facial (FP) and genital psoriasis (GP) significantly affect patients' quality of life. Despite the advances in treatments, limited data on efficacy and safety are available on these difficult-to-treat areas. Guselkumab is an interleukin (IL)-23 inhibitor which has been proven effective in treating patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Effectiveness of risankizumab for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis: a multicenter, real-world study.

Background: IL-23 inhibitors were recently approved for the treatment of skin psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Risankizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds the p19 subunit of IL-23, has proven effective on PsA in two randomized controlled trials. To date, only a few real-world data are available on this topic.

Therapeutic Potential of Spesolimab-Sbzo in the Management of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Flares in Adults: Evidence to Date.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, and severe skin disorder characterized by the eruption of non-infectious pustules on an erythematous background often associated with systemic symptoms. It may appear in association with plaque psoriasis or occur in previously healthy individuals. It differs from psoriasis vulgaris in clinical presentation, immunopathogenesis, histology, and therapeutic strategies.

Efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab in elderly patients: real-world multicenter study (ESTER - study).

Interleukin-23 inhibitors, such as tildrakizumab, have emerged as safe and effective options for the management of psoriasis. Yet their efficacy in elderly patients (aged 65 years or more), particularly in those with difficult-to-treat areas involvement, remains insufficiently explored. We conducted this real-life retrospective multicentric observational study to assess the effectiveness of tildrakizumab in elderly patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis, with involvement of difficult-to-treat areas.

Understanding Barriers Impacting upon Patient Wellbeing: A Nationwide Italian Survey and Expert Opinion of Dermatologists Treating Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis.

A nationwide cross-sectional online survey was administered to dermatologists managing patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis across Italy to obtain real-world dermatologists' perspectives on the impact of psoriasis and its treatment on patients' daily lives and quality of life (QoL). A total of 91 dermatologists (aged 39.1 ± 11.

Interleukin-17A-Correlated Myocarditis in Patients with Psoriasis: Cardiac Recovery following Secukinumab Administration.

(1) Background: Psoriasis (PS) is a common immune-mediated disease of the skin with possible extension to joints, aorta and eye. Myocardial inflammation has rarely been suggested. (2) Aims: Report of PS-related myocarditis.

Brodalumab for the Treatment of Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis: An Expert Delphi Consensus Statement.

Brodalumab is a recombinant, fully human immunoglobulin IgG2 monoclonal antibody specifically targeted against interleukin-17RA that has been approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Europe. We developed a Delphi consensus document focused on brodalumab for the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Based on published literature and their clinical experience a steering committee drafted 17 statements covering 7 domains specific to the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis with brodalumab.
