This study reviewed the available literature on the efficacy and safety of anti-IL-17A therapy for PRP. A total of 19 articles involving 77 cases were reviewed, showing that IL-17 inhibitors had a significant impact on the patients. However, higher-level studies are needed to further evaluate the therapeutic and safety effects of this treatment.
Anti-interleukin-17A (anti-IL-17A) therapy has been increasingly employed as a treatment option for pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP). In this study, we reviewed all available studies on this topic in the literature to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anti-IL-17A. Our main objective was to assess the current evidence on the efficacy and safety of anti-IL-17A therapy in the management of PRP. We searched for relevant articles on PubMed, MEDLINE, Ovid, Embase, and the Web of Science electronic databases from inception until 2022. Our inclusion criteria were as follows: randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-randomized trials, or prospective observational studies that include PRP patients treated with biological treatments; studies that report clinical outcomes; and studies that compare the treatment modalities, including anti-IL-17, in the English language.A total of 19 articles involving 77 cases were reviewed after applying the inclusion criteria and removing duplicates. We found that type 1 PRP was the most common condition irrespective of gender, and the trunk was the most affected area. The study showed that IL-17 inhibitors had a significant impact on the patients. However, higher-level studies are required to further evaluate the therapeutic and safety effects of the treatment.
