Because patients with psoriasis also have increased incidence of comorbidities, long-term real-world AE monitoring is critical to further evaluate the safety of biologic therapies postapproval. Brodalumab is a recombinant, fully human interleukin-17 receptor A antagonist indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy and have failed to respond or have lost response to other systemic therapies. The safety profile of brodalumab has been established in clinical trials and industry-sponsored US pharmacovigilance reports.
