Abstract

Among patients who did not have clear or almost clear skin at week 12, nearly 30% more patients who were treated continuously with ixekizumab Q2W in IXORA-P had clear or almost clear skin at week 52 when compared indirectly with those who were treated using the labelled psoriasis dosing in integrated UNCOVER studies. What's already known about this topic? Most patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were given the labelled psoriasis dosing of ixekizumab [160-mg loading dose at week 0, 80 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) through week 12, and 80 mg every 4 weeks (QW4) thereafter] respond quickly with a high percentage of skin clearance. Additionally, patients who achieve static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) ≤ 1 by week 12 tend to maintain this response, even after switching to Q4W. What does this study add? Here, we assessed whether patients with sPGA > 1 at week 12 benefited from receiving more frequent dosing beyond the first 12 weeks. The results showed that Q2W dosing beyond 12 weeks resulted in more patients achieving sPGA ≤ 1 by week 52 than the labelled psoriasis dosing among patients with sPGA > 1 at week 12.
