Efficacy and Safety of Risankizumab in Patients with Psoriasis Showing Suboptimal Response to Secukinumab or Ixekizumab: Results from a Phase 3b, Open-Label, Single-Arm (aIMM) Study.

Introduction: Risankizumab has demonstrated superior efficacy compared to other psoriasis treatments, including secukinumab, adalimumab, and ustekinumab; switching to risankizumab from other psoriasis treatments has shown superior clinical and quality of life (QoL) outcomes. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of directly switching patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and a suboptimal response to interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors (secukinumab or ixekizumab) to risankizumab.

Methods: This 52-week, phase 3b study enrolled patients (≥ 18 years) with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who had previously been treated with the recommended dose of secukinumab or ixekizumab for ≥ 6 months but did not achieve an optimal response (static Physician's Global Assessment [sPGA] 2/3; body surface are [BSA] 3- < 10%).

Disease severity, treatment patterns, and quality of life in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis routinely managed with systemic treatment: results of the CRYSTAL observational study in Central and Eastern European countries.

Psoriasis is a common, life-long skin disease with a significant negative health and societal impact. Data on rates of disease control and treatment strategies are lacking in Central and Eastern European countries. We aimed to describe the real-world disease severity, control, and treatment strategies for psoriasis in patients from Central and Eastern European countries.
