Abstract
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic dermatological condition characterized by widespread pustulation that may be associated with other cutaneous and systemic manifestations. If left untreated, it may be life-threatening. Therapies developed for plaque psoriasis have been used to treat GPP with limited efficacy; however, these therapies do not target the interleukin (IL)-36 pathway, which is the most common pathway implicated in the pathogenesis of GPP. A systemic biologic targeting the IL-36 receptor for the treatment of GPP is currently the only approved treatment for GPP and allows for an opportunity to improve patient outcomes. This manuscript outlines practical considerations that aim to provide guidance on personalizing the treatment of GPP.
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.
