AI Article Synopsis

  • * A study using databases like MEDLINE and Cochrane assessed how often PP occurs in AS patients on different TNFi medications, finding it happens in 0.5-1% of cases with a latency of 2-11 months.
  • * Certolizumab was the safest TNFi regarding PP, while infliximab was the most associated with it; PP typically improves after stopping the medication, but further research is needed.

Article Abstract

Objectives: The approval of TNF-a inhibitors (TNFi) was a breakthrough in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Although also effective in psoriasis, drug-related adverse events of onset of psoriasiform skin lesions - paradoxical psoriasis (PP) under TNFi have been reported.

Methods: We performed an electronic data search in MEDLINE via Pubmed and Cochrane library scientific databases from inception to January 2023, following the PRISMA guidelines. We assessed the distinct characteristics and frequency of risks for PP appearance in AS patients treated with different TNFi.

Results: PP was found in 0.5-1% of TNFi-treated AS patients and the latency period was 2-11 months. The safest TNFi in terms of PP induction was certolizumab, whereas the one most commonly associated with PP was infliximab.

Conclusions: PP is an uncommon adverse reaction to TNFi treatment in AS patients and responds well to drug withdrawal. More large data studies need to be conducted though, to shed light on PP nature and management.

Association Between Biologics and Janus Kinase Inhibitors With Inflammatory Bowel Disease as Paradoxical Reactions: A Real-World Assessment.

Background And Objective: With limited evidence connecting paradoxical inflammatory bowel disease (paradoxical IBD) to the newest biologics and Janus kinase inhibitors, our study aims to investigate the occurrence of paradoxical IBD induced by these agents in treating other immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). We aim to identify associated risk signals, the primary affected population, and the risk profile changes over time.

Methods: We performed disproportionality analysis to evaluate paradoxical IBD risk signals using data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and psoriasis are chronic inflammatory conditions belonging to the heterogeneous group of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs). A significant bidirectional link between these two entities has been observed, conditioning an increased risk of IBD in patients with psoriasis and vice-versa. Biological therapies used for IBD may lead to the occurrence of psoriasis as a "paradoxical reaction.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors (TNFi) are biological drugs used worldwide to treat various autoimmune disorders. Paradoxically, TNF- antagonists can also induce autoimmune diseases being systemic vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and psoriasis, the most common. We present a 22-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis (UC) who was started on adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks.

Article Synopsis
  • * Patients using anti-TNF-α treatments, like adalimumab, often experience paradoxical skin reactions (PSRs), such as rashes and hair loss, necessitating a switch to alternative treatments.
  • * Guselkumab, an anti-IL-23 treatment, not only avoids PSRs but also effectively manages PPP/PAO, and it is suggested as a preferable option over adalimumab for patients dealing with these conditions.

Immune mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are a heterogenous group of inflammatory disorders of joint, skin, and gut characterized by both shared and distinct pathological pathways. This complexity has therapeutic implications, as not all IMIDs exhibit responsiveness to available biologicals. Moreover, cases have been documented where patients undergoing biologic therapy experience paradoxical occurrences of either a new IMID or a flare-up of a previously asymptomatic one.
