Xeligekimab: First Approval.

Drugs

December 2024

Springer Nature, Private Bag 65901, Mairangi Bay, Auckland, 0754, New Zealand.

Xeligekimab (Jinlixi) is a recombinant human interleukin (IL)-17A-neutralizing immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 monoclonal antibody being developed by Genrix (Shanghai) Biopharmaceutical for the treatment of plaque psoriasis, axial spondyloarthritis and lupus nephritis. Xeligekimab binds to IL-17A and blocks its interaction with the IL-17A receptor, thereby inhibiting the release of C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 and IL-6. On 27 August 2024, xeligekimab received approval in China for the treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic, systemic, and autoimmune dermatologic condition characterized by dry, scaly, and erythematous plaques on the skin. PsO can present in various forms, including guttate (small, round lesions commonly over the upper trunk and extremities that can be raised and scaly), inverse (smooth plaques of inflamed skin within skin folds of the groin, buttock, and breasts), pustular (white painful pustules within red inflamed blotches widespread over the body), and erythrodermic (red rash present over most of the body). Individuals with PsO can present differently, with unique symptoms and patterns on the skin.

Background: As China is one of the countries with the highest recorded cases of Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases (IMIDs), these diseases have also emerged as a serious public health concern. Biosimilars, potentially lower-cost versions of biologics, may improve access to more affordable yet comparably effective treatments. Encouragingly, China launched its abbreviated biosimilar pathway in 2015, and since then, a large number of biosimilars have been approved.

Background: Long-term use of oral or parenteral corticosteroids is the most common cause of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis suppression and iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome. Still, iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome occurs rarely following the administration of topical corticosteroids.

Case Presentation: This case study discusses the misuse of a high-potency corticosteroid cream by an Iranian 5-year-old male with plaque-form psoriasis, resulting in Cushingoid symptoms including moon face, buffalo hump, red striae, and weight gain.

Plaque-type psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease of uncertain etiology, significantly impacting patient well-being. This chronic condition not only contributes to stigmatization and mental health challenges but also poses an independent risk for cardiovascular and other comorbid diseases. Affecting approximately 60 million people globally, psoriasis manifests primarily as mild-to-moderate disease in about 80% of cases, where topical therapy is pivotal.

Bimekizumab, is the most recent monoclonal antibody licensed for the management of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, acting through the dual inhibition of interleukin (IL)-17 A and IL17F, setting it apart from other anti-IL17 biologics. To date, long-term data on the use of bimekizumab for the management of plaque psoriasis in a real-world setting are scant. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bimekizumab in long-term.

The impact of breast implants on the immune system has been debated since their introduction in the 1960s, linking silicone to systemic autoimmune diseases. Recent studies have shown that silicone gel can migrate from the implant capsule, triggering immune responses by proliferating immune cells and releasing cytokines, affecting T-cell function. Silicone particles can induce the release of IL-1β and activate the NALP3 inflammasome and B cells, causing an imbalance in regulatory T cells, responder T cells, and Th17 cells.

Introduction: Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are chronic inflammatory diseases with significant overlap in their immunologic pathways, which involve cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alfa, interleukin (IL)-17, and IL-23. Current treatment options for HS are limited, as only adalimumab and secukinumab are approved for severe cases. Given the overlapping pathogenetic features between HS and psoriasis, anti-IL-17 and anti-IL-23 drugs could represent valuable treatments for the management of HS.
