Review of IL-17 inhibitors for psoriasis.
Journal of Dermatological Treatment 2017 November 11
BACKGROUND: The development of biologic agents directed against distinct cytokines and receptors has advanced the therapeutic options available for psoriasis patients. Evidence from preclinical studies suggests that IL-17 may contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
OBJECTIVE: The objective was to review the safety and efficacy profile for each IL-17 inhibitor by evaluating phase III clinical trial data.
METHODS: We reviewed the results of phase III clinical trials for the IL-17 inhibitors secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab.
RESULTS: At week 12, the proportion of patients reaching Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) was above 60% for the most efficacious dose of each agent with favorable and comparable safety profiles. The most commonly reported adverse events were nasopharyngitis, headache, and upper respiratory tract infection.
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical improvement among psoriasis patients on IL-17 inhibitors is similar or superior to the improvement seen with commercially produced biologic agents available accompanied by a favorable short-term safety profile. The results of the phase III trials indicate that IL-17 inhibitors are effective therapeutic options for psoriasis patients.
