Specifically, TYK2 mediates the signal transduction of interleukin-12 (IL-12), interleukin-23 (IL-23), and type I interferons (IFN-α/β), which are crucial regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses. These pathways are central to the pathogenesis of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) [<span>1, 2</span>]. Unlike conventional JAK inhibitors, which target the active catalytic domain (JH1 domain) and broadly suppress multiple cytokine pathways, TYK2 inhibitors function through selective allosteric inhibition of the regulatory JH2 (pseudokinase) domain. This unique mechanism allows for precise modulation of TYK2 activity without directly affecting the ATP-binding site, thereby reducing off-target inhibition of JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 [<span>2</span>]. By preserving partial physiological cytokine signaling, TYK2 inhibitors demonstrate a potentially improved safety profile compared to broader JAK inhibitors, particularly in terms of infection risk, malignancy concerns, and cardiovascular adverse events [<span>1, 3</span>].</p><p>From a clinical perspective, TYK2 inhibitors have emerged as promising therapeutic agents with an improved safety profile compared to conventional JAK inhibitors. Deucravacitinib, the first FDA-approved allosteric TYK2 inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with ongoing trials exploring its potential in PsA and SLE [<span>4-10</span>]. Other TYK2 inhibitors, such as Brepocitinib and Ropsacitinib, are in earlier phases of clinical development and are being investigated for a range of autoimmune conditions [<span>11-20</span>]. This editorial aims to review the evidence-based medicine (EBM) level of TYK2 inhibitors across different autoimmune and dermatologic indications, compare their clinical positioning relative to biologic agents such as IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors, and discuss the existing unmet needs and future research directions for TYK2-targeted therapies.</p><p>TYK2 inhibitors have been extensively studied across various immune-mediated diseases, with different levels of evidence supporting their use (Table 1). Among the available agents, Deucravacitinib has the most robust clinical data, particularly in psoriasis, where multiple Phase III trials confirm its efficacy, earning it Level 1A evidence [<span>4-8</span>]. Meanwhile, other TYK2 inhibitors such as Brepocitinib and Ropsacitinib remain in earlier phases of development, with supporting data primarily from Phase II trials, resulting in Level 2A or lower evidence across different indications [<span>11-20</span>].</p><p>In psoriasis, Deucravacitinib's FDA approval is backed by strong ","PeriodicalId":14330,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases","volume":"28 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1756-185X.70354","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144519751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
