Abstract
Background: The aim of this study is to confront the effectiveness of anti-IL 17 versus anti-IL 23 mAb in treating palmoplantar psoriasis by comparing the incidence of patients that required a therapy switch to another mAb class. Furthermore, we calculated the mean time intercurrent the beginning therapy with mAbs and the necessity to switch class due to ineffectiveness.
Research design and methods: We enrolled 116 patients with moderate to severe palmoplantar psoriasis. Patients with the pustular variant were excluded from this study. We performed statistical analysis to calculate the incidence of therapy switch in anti-IL 17 and anti-IL 23 mAb therapies.
Results: The results of both univariate and multivariate statistical analysis demonstrated that patients in therapy with anti-IL 23 mAb have a lower incidence of therapy switch compared to patients in therapy with anti-IL 17 drugs. The median switch time is 105 months. No other significant factors predictive of therapy switch were found.
Conclusions: This real-life evidence confirms the reduced necessity of therapy switch in patients with palmoplantar psoriasis treated with anti-IL 23 antibodies, compared to those treated with IL 17 inhibitors.
期刊介绍:
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy (1471-2598; 1744-7682) is a MEDLINE-indexed, international journal publishing peer-reviewed research across all aspects of biological therapy.
Each article is structured to incorporate the author’s own expert opinion on the impact of the topic on research and clinical practice and the scope for future development.
The audience consists of scientists and managers in the healthcare and biopharmaceutical industries and others closely involved in the development and application of biological therapies for the treatment of human disease.
The journal welcomes:
Reviews covering therapeutic antibodies and vaccines, peptides and proteins, gene therapies and gene transfer technologies, cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine
Drug evaluations reviewing the clinical data on a particular biological agent
Original research papers reporting the results of clinical investigations on biological agents and biotherapeutic-based studies with a strong link to clinical practice
Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Collection format and includes the following sections:
Expert Opinion – a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results;
Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
