Long term efficacy and safety of secukinumab in the treatment of the multiple manifestations of psoriatic disease
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Dec 07, 2019
Reich K, et al. - By performing this review, researchers focused on the long-term effectiveness as well as the safety profile of secukinumab (a fully human monoclonal antibody that selectively binds and neutralises interleukin-17A) in the management of plaque psoriasis and its various manifestations from its Phase 3 clinical trial programme. Secukinumab has displayed sustainable efficacy and safety up to 5 years in skin plaque psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, as revealed in the long-term extension of pivotal trials, and it was found safe and effective for up to 2.5 years in moderate-to-severe nail and palmoplantar PsO as reported in dedicated randomised controlled trials. The influence of secukinumab treatment in all these indications has corresponding impacts on improvement in quality-of-life and daily activities. Findings revealed the effectiveness as well as the safety of secukinumab as a therapeutic option for patients experiencing psoriatic disease in its various clinical variants.
