3 Clinical Manifestations of Plaque Psoriasis

4 Special skin locations:

5 Comorbidities of plaque psoriasis : Psoriatic arthritis occurs in about 30 % of patients with psoriasis Psoriasis has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular risk factors 1-6 Psoriasis has also been associated with an increased risk for Crohn s disease, depression and sleep disorder Wu Y, et al.

IL-12/23p40 inhibitor (ustekinumab) 3. IL-17A inhibitor (secukinumab, ixekizumab). 4. IL-17 receptor antagonist 5. IL-23p19 inhibitor (guselkumab) (FDA july 2017)

Analyses were not conducted between Weeks 40 and 76 when the majority of the population was withdrawn from treatment per study design. Analyses resumed at Week 76 when about half of the withdrawn patients had reinitiated UST for at least 12 weeks. Patients who reinitiated treatment after Week 76 were reincluded after at least 12 weeks of re-treatment. Kimball A, et al. Poster presented at EADV Congress, Jun , Verona. Poster PO582.

24 Interleukin-17 inhibition: role in psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease IL-17-A inhibition, IL-17RA inhibition and IL-17 knockout led to induction or exacerbation of colitis in mouse models. Anti-IL-17 medications are associated with IBD exacerbation. Caution should be used in prescribing these medications in patients with diagnosed IBD or personal history suggestive of IBD.
