Risankizumab is licensed is most countries for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, and in Japan for generalized pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis and palmoplantar pustulosis. Risankizumab showed higher efficacy and favorable safety profiles in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, compared with adalimumab, secukinumab and ustekinumab in several randomized controlled phase 3 pivotal studies and among real-life data in large retrospective studies. Furthermore, its high efficacy even in patients with prior biologic failure, better drug survival, less need for biologic switch and longer drug-free remission durations have also been shown in real-life settings and in long-term follow up. In addition, reports of both reduced dosing and increased (bolus) dosing exist which increase our ability to use risankizumab more flexibly in an era of personalized medicine.
