Deucravacitinib is a highly selective allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor targeting dysregulated cytokine responses in psoriasis patients. Its efficacy was demonstrated in two randomized, placebo- and active comparator-controlled phase 3 trials, where a significantly higher proportion of patients, up to 58.4% (194/332), achieved lessening of symptoms at week 16. The recommended dosing regimen of deucravacitinib is 6 mg once daily. More frequent adverse reactions occurring in the deucravacitinib-treated patients include upper respiratory infection (19.2% [161/840]), increase in blood creatine phosphokinase (2.7% [23/840]), <i>herpes simplex</i> infection (2.0% [17/840]), mouth ulcers (1.9% [16/840]), folliculitis (1.7% [14/840]), and acne (1.4% [12/840]). Continuance of treatment for up to week 52 did not increase the exposure-adjusted rates of adverse reactions. The selectivity and specificity of deucravacitinib treatment may improve its long-term safety profile, compared to other Janus kinase inhibitors.</p>","PeriodicalId":21891,"journal":{"name":"Skinmed","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10458677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
