There are no studies which directly compare efficacy in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) response of secukinumab and ixekizumab. The main aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of both drugs used to treat moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients over 52 weeks. Secondary objectives were to identify which factors related to prior biologic treatment influenced their efficacy and analyze data obtained at 12 weeks. A retrospective observational study was carried out, in which a group of the first 59 patients treated with secukinumab after its commercialization, was compared with another group of the first 29 patients treated with ixekizumab. The PASI 75, 90, and 100 response obtained at 52 weeks was 64.4%, 49.2%, and 41.4% for secukinumab and 75.9%, 62.1%, and 41.4% for ixekizumab, respectively, with no statistically significant differences. Regarding previous biological treatment, both treatments showed a decrease in efficacy as the number of prior biologics increases. No differences were found between secukinumab and ixekizumab in bio-naïve or bio-experienced patients, with the exception of a higher PASI 75 response at week 52 for ixekizumab in those patients with two or more previous biologics (P = .039) Secukinumab and ixekizumab have demonstrated high efficacy and safety, with no statistically significant differences.

IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors have shown successful results in improving skin lesions in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. However, psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by systemic inflammation including joints in addition to skin lesions. Therefore, in this retrospective and observational cohort study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of IL-17 inhibitors (secukinumab and ixekizumab) and IL-23 inhibitors (risankizumab and guselkumab) on systemic inflammation in psoriasis.

Obesity is associated with several other comorbidities, including psoriasis, which is a chronic autoimmune skin disease. Adipocytes produce pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, namely adipokines and classic cytokines, that drive increased inflammation axnd may contribute to the pro-inflammatory pathways driving psoriasis disease pathogenesis.

Following many years of excellent disease control with secukinumab and later ixekizumab, he developed a de novo eczematous eruption, which showed spongiotic dermatitis upon biopsy. The patient was successfully treated for both psoriasis and atopic dermatitis with upadacitinib, a Janus kinase inhibitor.

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.
