The news that BMS gained fda approval for its drug that treats psoriasis is a welcome development for patients with psoriasis. It demonstrates the potential of biologic therapy as a treatment option, particularly in earlier stages of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The approved indications for biologic therapy include patients with persistent psoriasis (50 percent severity or greater after three months of therapy) and those with relapsing psoriasis.

Sotyktu

Bristol Myers Squibb has received approval for Sotyktu, a drug that targets a protein called tyrosine kinase (TYK2). It is an important member of the JAK family that is involved in several inflammatory and immune signaling pathways. Sotyktu is the first once-daily treatment for plaque psoriasis. Its safety and efficacy were determined by Phase III studies.

The approval of Sotyktu is based on data from two phase III studies that showed that the drug was superior to placebo and the twice-daily drug Amgen’s AMGN Otezla. The drug is expected to be available to patients within a month, and Bristol Myers says it has a $4 billion-plus market potential.

Sotyktu was approved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The drug is a once-daily oral medication. It is expected to replace riluzole in the treatment of the disease. It also has the potential to become the standard of care for patients with RA.

Sotyktu was found to have superior efficacy compared to placebo, Otezla, and PASI 75 and 90. This is in part because of the fact that it attaches to the regulatory domain of the TYK2 enzyme. This drug is not associated with the same side effects as other JAK inhibitors.

SOTYKTU can cause hypersensitivity reactions and angioedema in some patients. If you suspect that you may be experiencing either of these, discontinue the medication immediately. The drug can also cause infection. Patients who experience new infections should undergo immediate diagnostic testing and initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy. In rare cases, serious infections may occur.

During the trial, 58 percent of patients with PASI 75 (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) achieved a 75% reduction in the severity index. The placebo group’s results were only marginally higher, with only 10.8% of patients reaching the PASI 75 target level. The difference between the active and placebo groups was statistically significant.

Although there have been some reports of upper respiratory infections after patients took SOTYKTU, these cases are rare. The overall safety profile of SOTYKTU (deucravacitinib) in clinical trials is consistent with what has been seen in smaller trials. Most adverse events were mild or moderate. The most common side effects included an increased risk of upper respiratory tract infection and nasal inflammation.

Cerolizumab

The drug that BMS has approved to treat plaque psoriasis, deucravacitinib, targets a protein called tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2). TYK2 is involved in several immune and inflammatory signaling pathways. The drug has been approved by the FDA and will begin being marketed in the next month. While no prices have been announced, the company is confident that it has the potential to be the new standard of care for this disease.

Tazarotene has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy in randomized, controlled trials compared to adalimumab. It was more effective than adalimumab in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

Sotyktu’s safety profile was generally similar to that of its predecessor, Otezla, which had already received approval for a similar indication. Sotyktu is not required to carry a black box warning. Its approval may lead to competition for Otezla in the market. The company is also looking at new indications for Sotyktu.

The BE READY trial included 435 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Patients were randomized to receive bimekizumab or placebo every four weeks for 12 weeks or eight weeks. After the second phase, the patients were rerandomized. The bimekizumab group improved their PASI scores more than the placebo group and continued its efficacy until week 52.

Tremfya

BMS gained its first approval for a drug to treat plaque psoriasis, which is the most common form of psoriasis. The drug, called deucravacitinib, is the first drug of its type to get the stamp of approval from the FDA. The drug is currently in clinical trials and has been used to treat psoriasis in over 1,200 people around the world. Its price is $6,164 for a 30-day supply, and its wholesalers charge $4,344 for a 30-day supply.

Sotyktu has been approved for psoriasis, and it is the first oral treatment to be approved for this condition. It was approved for use in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis as a systemic treatment, and also as a phototherapy. Its clinical development is ongoing and is aimed at making the drug the standard of care for the condition.

While other drugs target JAKs, BMS’s drug inhibits TYK2. By blocking this enzyme, it disrupts cellular processes that produce the plaques. This could make it a safer choice for patients with psoriasis than other JAK inhibitors, which can have a broad effect on the immune system.

The new drug, deucravacitinib, is a once-a-day oral drug. The drug’s approval was based on results of two clinical trials, which tested the drug’s efficacy in treating psoriasis. After 60 weeks, 77 percent of patients experienced a response. Another 56 percent of patients achieved a clear skin condition.

Deucravacitinib

The recent FDA approval of certolizumab, a new psoriasis drug, is a major victory for patients and physicians. The approval was based on three multicenter, double-blind studies. The clinical trial results showed that patients with psoriasis improved from their baseline disease severity by 50% within three months. The drug is also effective in reducing the number of relapses within that period.

The drug’s efficacy was evaluated in two phase III clinical studies. In one, etanercept was found to be effective in treating severe plaque psoriasis in patients who have failed standard systemic therapies. The other study assessed the safety of etanercept.

Ustekinumab inhibits IL-23 and IL-12. These are two important pathways in the cutaneous immune system. These pathways are believed to be involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and other skin diseases.

Certolizumab is an oral drug that is approved to treat psoriasis. It is currently approved by the FDA for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The drug can be used for adults with psoriasis, including patients with active psoriatic arthritis.

The drug is a trivalent nanobody made from nanobodies from camelids. These nanobodies specifically target IL-17A and IL-17F, two types of psoriasis. In the clinical trial, patients were given CZP 400 mg every two weeks or placebo. After the first four weeks, patients were re-randomized to the drug.
