In three phase 3, randomized, double-blind, vehicle, and comparator-controlled studies (Be Vivid, Be Ready, and Be Sure), bimekizumab was investigated for the treatment of plaque psoriasis. The primary efficacy end point was psoriatic area and severity index (PASI) 90 (patients with 90% improvement in PASI from baseline) and investigator's global assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear skin)-1 (almost clear skin) as well as ≥2-point improvement from baseline at week 16. In the Be Vivid study, patients were randomized into the bimekizumab, placebo, and ustekinumab groups. PASI 90 score was achieved by 85% (273/321) in the bimekizumab group, 5% (4/83) in the placebo group, and 50% (81/163) in the ustekinumab group. IGA 0/1 score was achieved by 84% (270/321) in the bimekizumab group, 5% (4/83) in the placebo group, and 53% (87/163) in the ustekinumab group.
