Dysregulated epidermal protease activity results in impaired skin barrier function and chronic inflammation, accompanied by complex immune profiles. NS patients commonly show activation of the inflammatory axis, centered on IL-17 and IL-36, in the skin and blood, and show a psoriasis-like shift to Th17. Conversely, the immune profile differs depending on the clinical type, with ichthyosis linearis circumflexa type characterized by complement activation and Th2-type allergic responses, and scaly erythroderma type characterized by a type I IFN signature and Th9-type allergic responses. While symptomatic treatments such as emollients and topical corticosteroids have been the mainstay of care, recent advances have opened new therapeutic avenues involving biologic agents and oral small-molecule immunomodulators. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current clinical landscape and future directions of biologics (e.g., dupilumab, secukinumab, ustekinumab) and small-molecule therapies (e.g., JAK inhibitors such as tofacitinib, baricitinib, and upadacitinib) in the treatment of NS. Though evidence remains limited to case reports and small series, preliminary data suggest that cytokine-targeted interventions—particularly those inhibiting IL-4, IL-13, IL-17, IL-36, and JAK pathways—may offer tangible clinical benefits. Well-designed clinical trials and mechanistic investigations are crucial to establishing their place in NS management.</p>","PeriodicalId":54848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dermatology","volume":"52 10","pages":"1483-1493"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1346-8138.17923","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144984745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although targeted therapies such as adalimumab (ADA), secukinumab (SEC), and upadacitinib (UPA) have demonstrated efficacy in randomized controlled trials, real-world head-to-head comparisons remain limited. This study aimed to compare the real-world effectiveness and safety of ADA, SEC, and UPA in PsA patients. We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the PARWCH database. PsA patients treated with ADA, SEC, or UPA were included and followed at baseline, Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24. Skin responses were evaluated using PASI75/90. Joint outcomes—including peripheral and axial arthritis—were assessed with ACR, PsARC, and ASAS criteria. Patient-reported pain, disease activity, and HAQ scores were also recorded. Adverse events (AEs) were monitored throughout treatment. MMRM and GLMM were used to analyze continuous and binary outcomes, respectively. A total of 187 PsA patients were included (SEC: 78; ADA: 66; UPA: 43). All three agents demonstrated comparable effectiveness in improving peripheral joint symptoms (ACR20: SEC vs. ADA, Coef = −0.29, <i>p</i> = 0.62; UPA vs. ADA, Coef = −0.29, <i>p</i> = 0.66) and axial involvement (ASAS20: SEC vs. ADA, Coef = −0.04, <i>p</i> = 0.81; UPA vs. ADA, Coef = −1.05, <i>p</i> = 0.23). UPA and SEC showed significantly greater effectiveness than ADA in improving skin lesions (PASI90: SEC vs. ADA, Coef = 1.84, <i>p</i> = 0.006; UPA vs. ADA, Coef = 1.53, <i>p</i> = 0.04). However, ADA was more effective in relieving pain compared to both UPA (Coef = 2.43, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and SEC (Coef = 1.21, <i>p</i> = 0.02). Over 24 weeks, 85 AEs were reported by 48 patients, with fatigue, rash, upper respiratory tract infection, and pruritus being the most common. No serious AEs occurred. In conclusion, UPA and SEC demonstrated balanced effectiveness across skin and joint domains, while ADA offered superior pain relief.
