Real-world experience of secukinumab in moderate to severe psoriasis patients in Thailand: Characteristics, effectiveness, and safety. Dermatol Ther 2022; 35:e15958. [PMID: 36279306 PMCID: PMC10078165 DOI: 10.1111/dth.15958] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Secukinumab demonstrated high efficacy and favorable safety profile in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) in clinical trials. However, understanding of patient characteristics and clinical outcomes in real world in Thailand is still limited. To describe patient characteristics, effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in Thai PsO patients. This retrospective study analyzed data from medical records of adult PsO patients who initiated secukinumab at 7 dermatology centers from September 2017 to April 2021. Study outcomes included patient characteristics and changes in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score from baseline at weeks 4 and 16 after secukinumab initiation. Adverse events were recorded. Subgroup analyses by adherence rate and completeness of loading dose were performed. Of 163 patients, the mean (SD) age was 44.0 (14.0) years. Most patients (84.7%) were previously treated with topical therapy while 62.0% and 21.5% of patients had received systemic and biologic therapy, respectively. The mean baseline PASI score was 15.4 (9.3). Overall, the mean PASI score improved by 58.0% at week 4 and 78.4% at week 16. Statistically significant differences in PASI approvement were revealed among subgroups of patients with different loading dose and adherence rate. Adverse effects were reported in 8.0% of patients. The characteristics of patients in this study were slightly different from clinical trials in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as PsO treatment. Secukinumab was effective and safe in Thai patients with PsO, especially among those with complete loading dose and a higher adherence rate.

Abstract
Purpose: Secukinumab was approved for the treatment of psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. However, the long-term safety of secukinumab in large sample population was unknown. The current study was to evaluate the secukinumab-assocaited adverse events (AEs) through data mining of the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS). Methods: Reports in the FAERS from the first quarter of 2015 (FDA approval of secukinumab) to the third quarter of 2021 were collected and analyzed. Disproportionality analyses, including the reporting odds ratio (ROR), the proportional reporting ratio (PRR), the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN), and the multi-item gamma Poisson shrinker (MGPS) algorithms, were employed in data mining to quantify the signals of secukinumab-related AEs. Results: A total of 89,228 reports of secukinumab as the “primary suspected (PS)” and 254,886 AEs induced by secukinumab were identified. Secukinumab-induced AE occurrence targeted 27 system organ classes (SOCs). A total of 257 signals of secukinumab-induced AEs in 19 SOCs were detected after conforming to the four algorithms simultaneously. Common significant signals of infections, respiratory disorders, skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders, immune system disorders, and ear and labyrinth disorders have emerged. Unexpected significant AEs such as injection site pain, vessel puncture site haemorrhage, arthralgia, hypokinesia, Bell’s palsy, parotid gland enlargement, and stress might also occur. The median onset time of secukinumab-associated AEs was 56 days (interquartile range [IQR] 5–214 days), and most of the onsets occurred within the first 1, 2, 3, and 4 months after initiation of secukinumab. Conclusion: Our study found potential new AE signals and provided a broader understanding of secukinumab’s safety profiles, supporting its rational use in chronic systemic inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic immunologic disorder associated with decreased quality of life and numerous co-morbidities, including psoriatic arthritis and cardiovascular disease. Secukinumab, a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody, selectively binds IL-17A and is approved by the US FDA and European Medicines Agency for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. This review examines the efficacy and safety of secukinumab for the treatment of psoriasis using the literature retrieved from the PubMed database. In clinical trials, treatment with secukinumab led to rapid and sustained improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores, with PASI 90 response rates up to 68.5% at 5 years. Long-term clinical trial and real-world data have established secukinumab as a safe and effective treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract
Secukinumab was the first fully human anti-interleukin-17a monoclonal antibody
and successfully treated moderate-severe psoriasis. These new, targeted,
medications are becoming more ubiquitous, but long-term side effects are not
fully known. Post-market surveillance is crucial to identify delayed adverse
events, analogous to the paradoxical development of pustular psoriasis in a
subset of patients treated with the anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha class
drugs. Dyshidrotic eczema and pompholyx are rare variants of dermatitis
characterized by vesicles or bullae on the palms, soles and sides of the
fingers. The etiology of dyshidrotic eczema is not always known, but medications
have been implicated in a minority of patients. Herein, we present two cases of
dyshidrotic eczema developing in patients on secukinumab for psoriasis. Extended
follow-up and larger numbers of patients are needed to fully understand the
potential association between secukinumab and dyshidrotic eczema.

Abstract
Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are often undertreated and there are limited efficacious therapies available for treating this population. Biologics are an emerging therapeutic modality used in the management of many inflammatory conditions including HS. Implementation of biologics is typically reserved for moderate-to-severe cases or in those cases that are refractory to treatment. Though many biologics have been trialed for use in HS, only one biologic, adalimumab, is currently US FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe HS. Limitations in the use of biologics for HS include the many scoring systems utilized in research studies and the relatively few well-designed, adequately powered clinical trials.

Abstract
Introduction: The interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-17 pathway is closely related to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. This pathway is considered to be an important target for treating psoriasis. Risankizumab can selectively inhibit IL-23p19 subunit and for the treatment of psoriasis. This article aims to review risankizumab and provides reference for clinicians. Areas covered: The chemical property, mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, clinical efficacy, safety of risankizumab was introduced in this paper. A PubMed search using the terms 'risankizumab,' 'IL-23,' 'p19 subunit,' and 'psoriasis,' was performed, and the results were screened for the most relevant English language publications. Expert opinion: Risankizumab is a humanized IgG monoclonal antibody that binds to the p19 subunit of IL-23 and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. Clinical trials showed that risankizumab was significantly more effective than ustekinumab. Risankizumab was well tolerated, upper respiratory tract infection was the common adverse reactions. Therefore, the market of risankizumab provides an important therapeutic means for psoriasis.

Abstract
Targeting specific T cell subtypes and intervening in their function are emerging a critical strategy for treatment of autoimmune diseases. Here we report that an RNA CD30 aptamer was utilized to deliver short hairpin RNA (shRNA) to CD30+ T cells to target retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor gamma t (RORγt), leading to impaired expression of RORγt and suppression of IL-17A and IL-17F. A DNA template consisting of CD30 aptamer and RORγt shRNA sequences was synthesized and was transcribed CD30 aptamer-RORγt shRNA chimera (CD30-AshR-RORγt). Insertion of 2'-F-dCTP and 2'-FdUTP was incorporated during CD30-AshR-RORγt transcription to increase its resistance to RNase. CD30-AshR-RORγt was specifically up-taken by CD30+ Karpas 299 cells, but not by Jurkat cells which lack CD30. It was also up-taken by activated, CD30 expressing human CD4+T cells, but not by resting CD4+ T cells. The RORγt shRNA moiety of CD30-AshR-RORγt chimera was cleaved and released by Dicers. Then, CD30-AshR-RORγt suppressed RORγt gene expression in Karpas 299 cells and activated human CD4+ T cells. Consistently, silence of Th17 cell differentiation and IL-17A and IL-17F synthesis with CD30-AshR-RORγt was demonstrated in activated human CD4+ T cells from healthy donors and RA patients. CD30-AshR-negative control chimera and prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-AshR-RORγt had no significant impact on the expression of RORγt or IL-17A and IL-17F. These data present a novel strategy for shRNA delivery using CD30 RNA aptamers to down-regulate CD30+ Th17 cells and can be developed as a targeted therapy for treating Th17 cell mediated conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of psoriasis can include oral medications and injectable biologics. Safety data of these various treatment options are important to consider when choosing the right treatment for the patient. AREAS COVERED This review evaluates the safety of newer treatments approved for psoriasis, including interleukin-(IL)-17 inhibitors, IL-23/p19 inhibitors, ustekinumab, certolizumab pegol and apremilast, using phases III and IV clinical trial data. EXPERT OPINION Even as treatment of psoriasis becomes safer, it is important to recognize both common and uncommon adverse effects of treatment. Common adverse effects are similar across treatment options, including upper respiratory infection and injection-site reaction. Serious adverse effects occur less frequently and specific to the psoriasis treatment option, such as inflammatory bowel disease and candida infections with IL-17 inhibitors, tuberculosis with certolizumab pegol, and psychiatric events with apremilast. While IL-23/p19 inhibitors may have a slightly better safety profile than other biologics, long-term data are limited. The conclusions that can be drawn from clinical trial safety data are limited given that many clinical trials are not large enough to detect rare safety events. Data from registries provide important complementary information on long-term safety but there are limitations including a lack of randomized assignment between drug treatments.

Abstract
Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has been associated with a significantly higher risk of herpes zoster (HZ). Several newer biologics such as secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab inhibit IL-17 and have been highly effective for treatment of psoriasis. However, adverse events related to the immunosuppressive properties of these biologics have been observed.Methods: This review aims to synthesize and evaluate the literature investigating the risk of HZ in patients treated with IL-17 inhibitors, with a focus on psoriasis patients. We performed searches using the PubMED database with the following search terms: 'psoriasis,' 'herpes zoster,' 'secukinumab,' 'ixekizumab,' 'brodalumab,' 'IL-17,' 'anti-IL-17,' and 'safety.' Clinical trials, cohort studies, review articles, and meta-analyses were evaluated.Results: Studies did not detect a higher risk of HZ infections in psoriasis patients treated with IL-17 inhibitors when compared to those treated with placebo or other therapies. Studies of IL-17 inhibitors for other indications including psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and asthma yielded similar results.Conclusion: IL-17 inhibitors do not appear to increase risk of HZ. However, IL-17 inhibitors are relatively new medications, and further long-term data may be necessary to confirm this finding. Nevertheless, HZ vaccination should be considered on a case-bycase basis prior to initiating IL-17 therapy.

Abstract
Background: The treat-to-target (T2T) strategy has become established in several medical specialties as a key guidance to optimal therapeutic decision making. T2T may be effective in the assessment of the biologic class of agents called interleukin (IL)-17 inhibitors, which are emerging as a safe and effective treatment option for autoimmune inflammatory conditions such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Objective: The objective of this article is to use a T2T approach for the evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of IL-17 inhibitors in the management of patients with plaque psoriasis, PsA, and AS. Methods: Following a comprehensive literature search, a full-day meeting was convened to discuss and identify the T2T targets for psoriasis, PsA, and AS. Clinical trial evidence was presented for the approved IL-17 inhibitors—secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab—to assess whether these data meet T2T safety and efficacy targets. Results: All 3 approved agents were significantly superior to placebo and active controls in the achievement of T2T targets for psoriasis. Secukinumab and ixekizumab were likewise associated with significantly better outcomes than controls in the PsA targets, and secukinumab resulted in significant AS target improvements vs placebo. The IL-17 inhibitors were also associated with low rates of serious adverse events and exacerbations of common comorbid conditions. Conclusion: Phase III trial results support the T2T benefit and safety of IL-17 inhibitors according to their specific indications for the management of patients with plaque psoriasis, PsA, and AS.

Abstract
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare disease characterized by recurrent fever and systemic flushing accompanied by extensive sterile pustules. The committee of the guidelines was founded as a collaborative project between the Japanese Dermatological Association and the Study Group for Rare Intractable Skin Diseases under the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare Research Project on Overcoming Intractable Diseases. The aim of the guidelines was to provide current information to aid in the treatment of patients with GPP in Japan. Its contents include the diagnostic and severity classification criteria for GPP, its pathogenesis, and recommendations for the treatment of GPP. Since there are few clinical trial data with high levels of evidence for this rare disease, recommendations by the committee are described in the present guidelines.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting 2-3% of the population in the world. The scalp is the most common, and frequently the first site of disease involvement. Occasionally it may be the only localization of psoriasis. Treatment of scalp psoriasis is often unsatisfactory, due to limited available topical therapy and reduced efficacy of some systemic drugs. Biologic therapies are recommended for severe psoriasis, resistant to topical treatment, but evidence from randomized, controlled studies is lacking regarding effectiveness on scalp-localized lesions. Several clinical studies have shown the efficacy of secukinumab on plaque psoriasis, and some encouraging experience suggest the use in difficult sites such as the scalp; this article reports effective treatment with secukinumab of a series of patients with plaque and scalp psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation and chronic inflammation. The pathogenesis of psoriasis involves proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), but the mechanism of keratinocyte activation is not well understood. Here, we show that TNF (10 or 50 ng/mL) stimulates a significant (P < .0001) gene expression and secretion of proinflammatory IL-6, CXCL8 and VEGF from both cultured human HaCaT and normal epidermal human keratinocytes (NHEKs). This effect occurs via activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling complex as shown by Western blot analysis and phospho-ELISAs. Pretreatment with the novel natural flavonoid tetramethoxyluteolin (10-100 μmol L-1 ) significantly (P < .0001) inhibits gene expression and secretion (P < .0001) of all 3 mediators in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, tetramethoxyluteolin (50 μmol L-1 ) appears to be a potent inhibitor of the phosphorylated mTOR substrates (pmTORSer2448 , pp70S6KThr389 and p4EBP1Thr37/46 ) as compared to known mTOR inhibitors in keratinocytes. The present findings indicate that TNF stimulates skin inflammation via mTOR signalling. Inhibition by tetramethoxyluteolin may be used in the treatment for psoriasis.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with numerous comorbidities and a profound impact on patients' quality of life. While its complex immune pathogenesis is still not fully delineated, current evidence supports a fundamental role of the T-helper-17 (TH-17) pathway and its related interleukin-17 (IL-17) cytokine. Thus, new antipsoriatic therapies have been developed to block this key cytokine and its downstream effects. Secukinumab is a fully humanized, monoclonal anti-IL-17A antibody, and the first in its class to be approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It has also been approved for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Its clinical efficacy in plaque psoriasis has been well demonstrated in numerous phase II and III clinical trials. In addition, it has shown superiority in clinical trials to current biologic agents including etanercept and ustekinumab, with a safe adverse event profile. In correlation with excellent skin improvements, secukinumab is also associated with significant improvements in health-related quality of life measures. Thus, secukinumab offers the potential for equal, or improved, therapeutic effects compared with other biologics, and is a valuable addition to our current antipsoriatic armamentarium.

Abstract
The investigators carried out an analysis of the efficacy and safety of secukinumab (SEC) in the randomized placebocontrolled trials (RPCTs) FUTURE 1 and FUTURE 2, as well as a subanalysis of the data obtained in the Russian population of patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The FUTURE 1 and FUTURE 2 trials enrolled a total of 1003 patients with active PsA. They received SEC (n = 703) or placebo (PL) (n = 300). The use of SEC 300 or 150 mg without previous intravenous (IV) loading dose or either 150 or 75 mg with the IV loading dose led to a significant improvement in patients with PsA. The positive changes in the main clinical manifestations of PsA at 24 weeks persisted until 52 weeks of therapy. SEC was effective in both the patients who had not previously received tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors and those who had previously taken these drugs, and the result of therapy did not depend on concomitant methotrexate use.The incidence of cancer was low and comparable in the SEC and PL groups. Analysis of the combined data on the safety of the two RPCTs showed that the treatment duration-adjusted incidence of malignant neoplasms was 0.5 per 100 patient-years in the SEC groups and 0.9 in the PL groups. The safety profile of SEC in these RPCTs corresponds to that in the previous studies of the drug.The data from the pooled analysis of the Russian subpopulation of patients with PsA fully agree with the results obtained in the evaluation of all the patients included in FUTURE 1 and FUTURE 2 and confirm the most important role of IL-17А in the pathogenesis of PsA.
