Abstract

Introduction: Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis characterized by rapidly enlarging, painful ulcers with undermined borders. The management of PG is challenging due to the lack of standardized evidence-based treatments.

Areas covered: This review examines recent efforts to establish standardized outcomes for clinical trials to facilitate the drug development process for PG. It explores new therapeutics in development and evaluates advanced options for wound and pain management. Literature available on the pathogenesis, treatment, and pain management of PG from database inception to April 2024 was searched in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane. Clinicaltrials.gov and the EU Clinical Trials Register were searched for clinical trials on PG.

Expert opinion: New therapeutics such as interleukin 36 inhibitor and complement component C5a inhibitor more specifically target key pathways in the pathogenesis of PG have shown promise and can greatly benefit patients with PG, which still lacks an FDA-approved treatment. In addition to systemic therapy, local wound care and pain management should be carried out simultaneously to achieve successful wound healing.

期刊介绍： Advances in drug development technologies are yielding innovative new therapies, from potentially lifesaving medicines to lifestyle products. In recent years, however, the cost of developing new drugs has soared, and concerns over drug resistance and pharmacoeconomics have come to the fore. Adverse reactions experienced at the clinical trial level serve as a constant reminder of the importance of rigorous safety and toxicity testing. Furthermore the advent of pharmacogenomics and ‘individualized’ approaches to therapy will demand a fresh approach to drug evaluation and healthcare delivery. Clinical Pharmacology provides an essential role in integrating the expertise of all of the specialists and players who are active in meeting such challenges in modern biomedical practice.
