Abstract
We present a case series involving five patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) who received a single intravenous dose of 900 mg spesolimab in our department from September 2023 to January 2024. Spesolimab was effective in three patients, regardless of their IL-36RN gene mutation status. Two patients with concomitant plaque psoriasis, despite initially poor responses to spesolimab, achieved resolution of pustules after switching their therapy to ixekizumab or secukinumab. This study highlights the potential of spesolimab in managing GPP, especially in genetically distinct groups, and emphasizes the importance of tailored therapeutic approaches. These findings suggest that spesolimab can effectively treat GPP, regardless of IL-36RN gene mutation status. However, its therapeutic efficacy may be suboptimal in patients with concomitant plaque psoriasis, indicating the need for further investigation to optimize treatment outcomes in this subgroup.
期刊介绍:
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal.
Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest.
The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care.
All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
