Pathophysiology of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis

Slaheddine Marrakchi et al.

Summary: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and severe form of the disease, distinct from plaque psoriasis. Dysregulation of the IL-36 signaling pathway appears central to the pathogenesis of GPP. Treatment targeting the IL-36 inflammatory cascade shows promise, although specific therapeutic agents for GPP are currently lacking.

Treatment Options and Goals for Patients with Generalized Pustular Psoriasis

James Krueger et al.

Summary: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and severe skin disorder without approved specific therapies. Current treatment options are based on limited evidence and recent advances have identified potential targets for targeted therapy based on improved understanding of the disease mechanisms and gene mutations associated with GPP.

Clinical Course and Characteristics of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis

Siew Eng Choon et al.

Summary: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare and potentially dangerous disease characterized by the appearance of large sterile pustules in widespread areas, with or without systemic inflammation and/or plaque psoriasis. The severity and frequency of flares vary among individuals, and severe flares are often accompanied by systemic symptoms and other extracutaneous manifestations. The clinical course of GPP is highly variable.

Pustular psoriasis: Molecular pathways and effects of spesolimab in generalized pustular psoriasis

Patrick Baum et al.

Summary: This study revealed that the IL-36 pathway plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of generalized pustular psoriasis. Treatment with spesolimab, an anti-IL-36 receptor antibody, resulted in rapid improvement of skin and pustular symptoms in patients with GPP. The treatment also modulated dysregulated molecular pathways associated with GPP and PPP, leading to improved clinical outcomes.

Palmoplantar pustulosis and acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau: demographic and clinical comparative study in a large multicentre cohort

F. Assan et al.

Summary: Our study compared the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) and acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH). PPP was associated with female sex, smoking activity, and higher body mass index compared to ACH. PPP also had a higher frequency of family history of psoriasis. Both PPP and ACH had similar age of onset for palmoplantar disease. Peripheral joint inflammatory involvement was only associated with ACH. The association with another psoriasis type was similar for both PPP and ACH.

Paolo Gisondi et al.

Summary: Clinical and epidemiologic data on pustular psoriasis are limited. This study investigated the phenotypes and patients' characteristics of pustular psoriasis. The results showed that pustular psoriasis is much rarer than plaque psoriasis, with palmoplantar pustulosis being the most common subtype.

Trial of Spesolimab for Generalized Pustular Psoriasis

H. Bachelez et al.

Summary: In a phase 2 randomized trial, spesolimab, an interleukin-36 receptor inhibitor, showed a higher rate of lesion clearance in GPP patients compared to placebo, but was associated with risks of infections and systemic drug reactions. Further longer and larger trials are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of spesolimab in patients with pustular psoriasis.

Similarity and difference between palmoplantar pustulosis and pustular psoriasis

Toshiyuki Yamamoto

Summary: Palmoplantar pustulosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with similarities to psoriasis, but also has distinct characteristics such as familial occurrence and joint involvement. Japanese patients with this condition have a unique association with focal infection, leading to differences in clinical features and treatment approaches.

Pustular Psoriasis: From Pathophysiology to Treatment

Giovanni Genovese et al.

Summary: Pustular psoriasis is a clinicopathological entity with different variants characterized by sterile pustules on an erythematous base, showing intense inflammatory response and involvement of the IL-36 axis. Due to the rarity and heterogeneity of PP forms, data on prognosis and therapeutic management are limited, leading to ongoing debates on the diagnosis and treatment of PP.

Study protocol of the global Effisayil 1 Phase II, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of spesolimab in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis presenting with an acute flare

Siew Eng Choon et al.

Summary: Effisayil 1 is a global Phase II placebo-controlled study aiming to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of spesolimab in patients presenting with an acute GPP flare. At least 51 patients will be randomized to receive a single 900 mg intravenous dose of spesolimab or placebo and followed for up to 28 weeks, with primary and key secondary endpoints focusing on skin improvement. The study complies with ethical principles and will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal.

Generalized pustular psoriasis: current management status and unmet medical needs in Japan

Mayumi Komine et al.

Summary: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, inflammatory skin disease with potentially life-threatening systemic symptoms. While there are approved systemic therapies in Japan for GPP, there is uncertainty regarding their safety and efficacy, especially in treating acute phase GPP. New therapies targeting the interleukin-36 pathway have shown promise in this patient population, but the rarity and intermittent nature of GPP pose challenges for robustly investigating their efficacy and safety.
