Abstract
Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic inflammatory disease with an unpredictable disease course. Long-term treatment goals include sustained resolution of skin symptoms, prevention of new flares, and improvement in quality of life (QoL).
Objective: To compare the effect of the interleukin-36 receptor monoclonal antibody spesolimab 600 mg subcutaneous (SC) loading dose (LD) followed by 300 mg SC every 4 weeks (q4w) versus placebo on skin symptoms and QoL burden in patients with GPP.
Methods: A post hoc analysis of the EFFISAYIL 2 trial (NCT04399837) was conducted to assess the proportion of patients with sustained improvement of skin symptoms (GPP Physician Global Assessment total score, 0 or 1) and QoL burden (Dermatology Life Quality Index score, 0 or 1) at all visits up to week 48.
Results: Among the patients who received spesolimab 600 mg SC LD followed by 300 mg SC q4w, 63.3% had sustained improvement of skin symptoms (vs 29.0%; placebo), and 24.1% had sustained improvement of QoL burden (vs 3.2%; placebo).
Limitations: Retrospective, descriptive, post hoc analysis.
Conclusion: Spesolimab 600 mg SC LD followed by 300 mg SC q4w provides sustained improvement of skin symptoms and QoL burden in a substantially higher proportion of patients with GPP versus placebo.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) is the official scientific publication of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Its primary goal is to cater to the educational requirements of the dermatology community. Being the top journal in the field, JAAD publishes original articles that have undergone peer review. These articles primarily focus on clinical, investigative, and population-based studies related to dermatology. Another key area of emphasis is research on healthcare delivery and quality of care. JAAD also highlights high-quality, cost-effective, and innovative treatments within the field. In addition to this, the journal covers new diagnostic techniques and various other topics relevant to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of skin, hair, and nail disorders.
