Abstract
POETYK PSO-3, a 52-week, double-blind, phase 3 study, evaluated the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib, an oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in mainland China, Taiwan, and South Korea. Secondary and additional endpoints included improvement on two patient-reported outcome measures: the Psoriasis Symptoms and Signs Diary (PSSD) total score and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Patients were randomized 1:2 to placebo or deucravacitinib 6 mg once daily; at week 16, patients receiving placebo crossed over to receive deucravacitinib. PSSD and DLQI score changes from baseline and response rates for achieving meaningful within-patient change from baseline in PSSD total score (≥ 15 points) and DLQI of 0 or 1 (DLQI 0/1) were assessed over 52 weeks. In POETYK PSO-3, 74 patients were randomized to placebo and 146 patients to deucravacitinib. At week 16, mean (95% confidence interval [CI]) PSSD total score changes from baseline were −1.9 (−6.9, 3.1) and −28.8 (−32.6, −25.0) in patients receiving placebo and deucravacitinib, respectively. At both weeks 16 and 52, the response rate for ≥ 15-point meaningful change in PSSD total score (95% CI) was 73.3% (65.3, 80.3) in the group randomized to deucravacitinib. At week 16, mean (95% CI) DLQI changes from baseline were −1.7 (−3.1, −0.4) and −7.4 (−8.4, −6.4) in patients receiving placebo and deucravacitinib, respectively. In patients randomized to deucravacitinib, DLQI 0/1 response rates (95% CI) at weeks 16 and 52 were 36.4% (28.5, 44.4) and 44.7% (36.5, 52.9), respectively. Deucravacitinib was associated with meaningful and sustained improvements in psoriasis symptoms and signs and in quality of life in Asian patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Dermatology is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Japanese Dermatological Association and the Asian Dermatological Association. The journal aims to provide a forum for the exchange of information about new and significant research in dermatology and to promote the discipline of dermatology in Japan and throughout the world. Research articles are supplemented by reviews, theoretical articles, special features, commentaries, book reviews and proceedings of workshops and conferences.
Preliminary or short reports and letters to the editor of two printed pages or less will be published as soon as possible. Papers in all fields of dermatology will be considered.
