This study evaluated the efficacy, safety, and drug survival of IL-17 inhibitors for the treatment of psoriasis. The results showed that all IL-17 inhibitors had significant improvement in the disease scores and quality of life, with good safety profiles. Brodalumab showed the highest effectiveness and drug survival probability.
Background Real-world data on the use of interleukin-17 (IL-17) inhibitors for the treatment of psoriasis are limited. Objective To evaluate and compare the efficacy, safety, and drug survival of IL-17 inhibitors. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the BIOREP registry data of patients treated with at least one IL-17 inhibitor (secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab). Results In total, 949 patients were included. The improvement in PASI score was significant for all drugs, and the proportion of patients achieving PASI 75, 90, and 100 after both 3 and 24 months of therapy was highest for brodalumab, followed by ixekizumab and secukinumab. The Dermatology Life Quality Index score decreased to <3 after 3 months and to <2 after 24 months of therapy for all inhibitors. Loss of effectiveness was the major reason for discontinuation in 17.2% of patients, followed by adverse events in 3.2% of patients. The drug survival probability was the highest for brodalumab, followed by ixekizumab and secukinumab. Negative predictors for treatment discontinuation were obesity and the number of treatment lines, whereas a positive predictor was the presence of concomitant psoriatic arthritis; sex had no influence. Conclusion This real-life study demonstrated the effectiveness and good safety profile of all currently available IL-17 inhibitors.
