Objective: To evaluate whether early Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) improvements can predict week 28 tildrakizumab responders and nonresponders.

Methods: Psoriasis patients pooled from two tildrakizumab phase 3 trials randomized to receive tildrakizumab 100 mg at weeks 0, 4, 16, and 28 were included. Patients were grouped by week 28 PASI responses (<50, 50-74, 75-89, and 90-100). PASI improvements from baseline at weeks 4 and 16 were analyzed for each response group.

Results: Of 575 patients included, 8.3%, 14.3%, 23.8%, and 53.6%, respectively, achieved PASI <50, 50-74, 75-89, and 90-100 at week 28. Of patients with PASI <50 at week 16, 85% did not achieve PASI ≥75 at week 28 (nonresponders). Rapid response, defined as PASI ≥50 at week 4 (after a single tildrakizumab dose), was observed in 41% of patients. Of these patients, 87% were week 28 responders (PASI ≥75); 67% were 'super responders' (PASI 90-100). Among week 28 responders and super responders, 45% and 50% achieved PASI ≥50 at week 4, respectively.

Conclusions: Tildrakizumab week 28 nonresponders can be identified by week 16 PASI response. PASI improvements as early as week 4 can predict patients' week 28 PASI improvement status.

Department of Dermatology, Second Xiangya Hospital, Hunan Key Laboratory of Medical Epigenomics, Clinical Medical Research Center of Major Skin Diseases and Skin Health of Hunan Province, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, People's Republic of China.

Background: Psoriasis is an immune-related inflammatory systemic condition characterized by dysregulated keratinocyte proliferation and chronic inflammation. Tanshinone I (Tan-I) has recently been discovered to have immunomodulatory properties, but its role and mechanisms in treating psoriasis remain unclear.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Tan-I in the treatment of psoriasis and to determine the mechanisms involved.

Background: Overexpression of interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-17F significantly influences psoriasis pathology. Until recently, biologics targeting IL-17A alone, like secukinumab, were used to treat psoriasis. Bimekizumab is a monoclonal IgG1 antibody that targets both IL-17A and IL-17F.

Trial Design: This two-part, double-blinded trial assessed the truncated retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γ (RORγt) inhibitor BI 730357 in plaque psoriasis.

Methods: Part 1: patients were randomized 2:2:2:2:1 to BI 730357 25, 50, 100, 200 mg, or placebo once daily (qd; fasting conditions); non-responders switched to higher doses. Part 2: a separate patient set was randomized 4:4:1 to BI 730357 400 mg qd, 200 mg twice daily, or placebo (fed conditions).

Introduction: Palmoplantar psoriasis (PPp) has a profound negative impact on patients' quality of life, and it represents a therapeutic challenge, as palms and soles are difficult to treat area. Although the efficacy profile of tildrakizumab has been well evaluated in the literature, data on its use for PPp are still limited. The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab on moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis with involvement of the palmoplantar area.
