Abstract
Introduction: Tildrakizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin (IL)-23 approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis across two different dosages (100 mg and 200 mg). The higher dosage is recommended for patients with a body weight ≥ 90 kg or a high disease burden (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI] ≥ 16 or the involvement of difficult-to-treat areas). We conducted a 52-week multicenter retrospective study to compare the effectiveness and safety of both dosages and assess their impact on specific patient subgroups.
Methods: We enrolled a total of 540 patients with high disease burden or body weight ≥ 90 kg; 177 and 363 were treated with tildrakizumab 200 mg and 100 mg, respectively. The effectiveness was evaluated in terms of PASI 90, PASI 100, and PASI ≤ 2 at weeks 16, 28, and 52. We also performed subanalyses according to the body weight (≥ 90 kg), PASI ≥ 16, prior biologic exposure, involvement of difficult-to-treat areas, and the presence of at least one cardiometabolic comorbidity.
Results: After 16 weeks of treatment, a higher proportion of patients in the 200-mg group achieved PASI 90 and PASI 100 compared to those in the 100-mg group (43.5% vs. 34.3% and 36.4% vs. 24.2%, respectively). These results were sustained at 1 year, with PASI 90 and PASI 100 reached by 68.6% and 52.9% of patients in the 200-mg group, respectively, versus 57.3% and 35% in the 100-mg group. All subgroup analyses consistently indicated a trend toward greater effectiveness with tildrakizumab 200 mg, particularly in terms of PASI 90 and PASI 100 achievement at weeks 16 and 52. No differences in the safety profile were observed throughout the study period.
Conclusion: Our findings confirm the superior effectiveness of tildrakizumab 200 mg over 100 mg in specific subgroups of patients with a comparable safety profile across the study period.
期刊介绍:
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
