Report of the IDEOM Meeting Adjacent to the GRAPPA 2023 Annual Meeting.

The nonprofit organization International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) is committed to improving the implementation of patient-centered outcome measures in dermatologic disease. At a conference adjacent to the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting, the IDEOM Psoriatic Disease Workgroup presented updates on recent efforts in outcome measure advancement. Dr. Alice Gottlieb presented the preliminary findings of a study within the Mount Sinai Health System that aims to determine how well the IDEOM musculoskeletal (MSK) symptom framework, which uses the Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST) and the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease (PsAID) instruments, functions in clinical settings. Drs. Joseph Merola and Lourdes Perez-Chada updated attendees on the IDEOM MSK-Q, a 9-item patient-reported questionnaire designed to measure the intensity and impact of MSK symptoms on the quality of life in patients with psoriasis (PsO) with or without psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Dr. Vibeke Strand summarized the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) 2023 conference sessions. Dr. April Armstrong discussed the preliminary findings of a multicentered study designed to validate the 7-item Dermatology Treatment Satisfaction Instrument (DermSat-7) among patients with PsO. She also introduced the Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment Satisfaction Instrument, a tool that seeks to capture the level of patient satisfaction with current therapy for PsO and PsA. This report summarizes the developments discussed at the IDEOM PsO and PsA research workgroups during the GRAPPA 2023 annual meeting.

Debate at the GRAPPA 2023 Annual Meeting: Should Methotrexate Be the First Systemic Therapy in Psoriatic Disease?

Despite substantial evidence that methotrexate (MTX) has inferior efficacy, safety, and tolerability compared to newer systemic therapies, MTX remains one of the most commonly prescribed first-line systemic therapies for psoriatic arthritis worldwide and for psoriasis in some countries. At the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting in Dublin, Ireland, Drs. William Tillett and Joseph Merola engaged in debate over whether MTX should be the first systemic therapy used in psoriatic disease (PsD). Each presented evidence-based arguments, incorporating multiple data sources, including clinical trials, in support for and against MTX's status as first-line systemic therapy for PsD. This article summarizes their debate for the broader PsD community.

GRAPPA 2023 Annual Meeting Report: Hot Topic Session on Measurement of Musculoskeletal Symptoms in Psoriatic Disease.

During the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2023 annual meeting, the International Dermatology Outcome Measures (IDEOM) psoriatic disease (PsD) workgroup presented an update on their efforts toward measurement of musculoskeletal (MSK) symptoms in patients with PsD. Dr. Joseph Merola initiated the presentation emphasizing the vital importance of assessing MSK symptoms in patients with psoriasis (PsO) regardless of whether they have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). He also discussed existing challenges for evaluating MSK symptoms in patients with PsO without a PsA diagnosis. Dr. Lourdes Perez-Chada then presented their work on the development and validation of the IDEOM Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (MSK-Q), a patient-reported questionnaire developed by the IDEOM to capture the intensity and impact of MSK symptoms on quality of life in patients with PsO with or without PsA. Dr. Perez-Chada also introduced a set of ongoing studies employing the IDEOM MSK-Q, highlighting the potential effects of the data collected through this innovative tool.

The Impact of Lebrikizumab on Vaccine-Induced Immune Responses: Results from a Phase 3 Study in Adult Patients with Moderate-to-Severe Atopic Dermatitis.

INTRODUCTION: Lebrikizumab, a high-affinity IgG4 monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin-13 with high binding affinity and slow dissociation rate, prevents the formation of the interleukin-4Rα/interleukin-13Rα1 heterodimer receptor signaling complex. Here we report the impact of lebrikizumab on responses to two non-live vaccines in adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD). METHODS: ADopt-VA (NCT04626297) was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 16-week, phase 3 randomized study to assess the impact of lebrikizumab treatment on non-live vaccine immune responses, and efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab compared with placebo. Eligible patients included adults from 18 to 55 years of age with moderate-to-severe chronic AD who were randomly assigned 1:1 to lebrikizumab 250 mg every 2 weeks or placebo and stratified according to disease severity. The primary endpoints were the development of a booster response to tetanus toxoid and a positive antibody response to meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV), 4 weeks after administration of the corresponding vaccine. RESULTS: At week 16, 73.6% of patients in the lebrikizumab group (n = 78/106) achieved Tdap booster response compared with 73.4% of patients in the placebo group (n = 58/79). MCV vaccine response was observed in 86.9% of patients in the lebrikizumab group (n = 86/99) and 75.0% of patients in the placebo group (n = 60/80). At week 16, IGA 0,1 with ≥ 2-point improvement from baseline was achieved by 40.6% (n = 51/125) of patients treated with lebrikizumab and 18.9% (n = 23/122) of patients who received placebo (p < 0.001). There was a higher proportion of patients achieving EASI 75 at week 16 in the lebrikizumab-treated patients (58.0%, n = 72/125) compared with placebo (32.7%, n = 40/122, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with lebrikizumab did not impact response to non-live vaccines Tdap and MCV in this study. Lebrikizumab treatment had a significant degree of efficacy compared to placebo across multiple endpoints. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04626297.

Psoriatic Arthritis: A Comprehensive Review for the Dermatologist. Part II: Screening and Management.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a common comorbidity of psoriasis occurring in up to a third of patients. Dermatologists hold an essential role in screening patients with psoriasis for PsA, since as many as 85% of patients develop psoriasis before PsA. Early detection and treatment of PsA are important for both short and long-term patient outcomes and quality of life. Many factors must be weighed when selecting the appropriate therapy for PsA. One must consider the 'domains of disease' that are manifested, the disease severity, patient comorbidities, patient preferences (routes of dosing or frequency, as examples) as well as factors often outside of patient-physician control, such as access to medications based on insurance coverage and formularies. As many patients will have involvement of multiple domains of psoriatic disease, selecting the therapy that best captures the patient's disease is required. In this review, we will address PsA screening, diagnosis, therapeutic approach to psoriatic disease, comorbidity considerations and co-management.

Psoriatic Arthritis: A comprehensive review for the dermatologist Part I: Epidemiology, Comorbidities, Pathogenesis, and Diagnosis.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory seronegative arthritis strongly associated with psoriasis. Recognition of the clinical features of PsA is critical, as delayed detection and untreated disease may result in irreparable joint damage, impaired physical function, and a significantly reduced quality of life. Dermatologists are poised for the early detection of PsA, as psoriasis predates its development in as many as 80% of patients. In an effort to further acquaint dermatologists with PsA, this review provides a detailed overview, emphasizing its epidemiology, comorbidities, etiopathogenesis, and diagnostic features.

Clinical Validation of Digitally Acquired Clinical Data and Machine Learning Models for Remote Measurement of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

OBJECTIVE: Psoriatic disease remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. We developed and validated a suite of novel, sensor-based smartphone assessments (Psorcast app) that can be self-administered to measure cutaneous and musculoskeletal signs and symptoms of psoriatic disease. METHODS: Participants with psoriasis (PsO) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and healthy controls were recruited between June 5, 2019, and November 10, 2021, at 2 academic medical centers. Concordance and accuracy of digital measures and image-based machine learning models were compared to their analogous clinical measures from trained rheumatologists and dermatologists. RESULTS: Of 104 study participants, 51 (49%) were female and 53 (51%) were male, with a mean age of 42.3 years (SD 12.6). Seventy-nine (76%) participants had PsA, 16 (15.4%) had PsO, and 9 (8.7%) were healthy controls. Digital patient assessment of percent body surface area (BSA) affected with PsO demonstrated very strong concordance (Lin concordance correlation coefficient [CCC] 0.94 [95% CI 0.91-0.96]) with physician-assessed BSA. The in-clinic and remote target plaque physician global assessments showed fair-to-moderate concordance (CCCerythema 0.72 [0.59-0.85]; CCCinduration 0.72 [0.62-0.82]; CCCscaling 0.60 [0.48-0.72]). Machine learning models of hand photos taken by patients accurately identified clinically diagnosed nail PsO with an accuracy of 0.76. The Digital Jar Open assessment categorized physician-assessed upper extremity involvement, considering joint tenderness or enthesitis (AUROC 0.68 [0.47-0.85]). CONCLUSION: The Psorcast digital assessments achieved significant clinical validity, although they require further validation in larger cohorts before use in evidence-based medicine or clinical trial settings. The smartphone software and analysis pipelines from the Psorcast suite are open source and freely available.

Durable control of psoriatic arthritis with guselkumab across domains and patient characteristics: post hoc analysis of a phase 3 study.

OBJECTIVES: Evaluate patterns of stringent disease control with 2 years of guselkumab across key disease-identified domains and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in subgroups of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) defined by baseline characteristics. METHOD: This post hoc analysis of DISCOVER-2 (Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03158285) evaluated biologic-naïve PsA patients (≥ 5 swollen/ ≥ 5 tender joints, C-reactive protein [CRP] ≥ 0.6 mg/dL) randomized to guselkumab every 4 weeks (Q4W); guselkumab at Weeks 0 and 4, then Q8W; or placebo with crossover to guselkumab Q4W at Week 24. Achievement of American College of Rheumatology 50/70% improvement (ACR50/70), Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) 0, dactylitis/enthesitis resolution, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue response (≥ 4-point improvement), HAQ-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) response (≥ 0.35-point improvement), PsA Disease Activity Score (PASDAS) low disease activity (LDA), and minimal disease activity (MDA) was assessed at Weeks 24, 52, and 100 in subgroups defined by sex and baseline medication use, body mass index, PsA duration, swollen/tender joints, CRP, and psoriasis severity/extent. Patients with missing categorical response data were considered nonresponders. RESULTS: 442/493 (90%) guselkumab-randomized patients completed treatment through Week 100. Significant multi-domain efficacy of guselkumab versus placebo was shown across adequately sized patient subgroups. A pattern of continuous improvement was observed across key PsA domains and PROs within patient subgroups: 65%-85% of guselkumab-randomized patients had enthesitis/dactylitis resolution, 50%-70% achieved complete skin clearance, 60%-80% reported meaningful improvements in function/fatigue, 40%-65% achieved PASDAS LDA, and 35%-50% achieved MDA at Week 100. CONCLUSION: Patients with active PsA receiving guselkumab demonstrated durable achievement of stringent endpoints associated with disease control across key PsA domains and PROs, regardless of baseline characteristics. Key Points • Among biologic-naïve patients with highly active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), efficacy of guselkumab across stringent disease endpoints and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at Week 24 was consistent regardless of baseline demographics and disease characteristics. • Within guselkumab-randomized PsA patient subgroups, major improvements in joint disease activity, complete skin clearance, dactylitis/enthesitis resolution, clinically meaningful improvements in PROs, and achievement of low overall disease activity were maintained through Week 100. • Durable stringent endpoint achievement indicating disease control was observed with guselkumab, regardless of baseline patient or disease characteristics.

International Consensus Definition and Diagnostic Criteria for Generalized Pustular Psoriasis From the International Psoriasis Council.

Importance: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) lacks internationally accepted definitions and diagnostic criteria, impeding timely diagnosis and treatment and hindering cross-regional clinical and epidemiological study comparisons. Objective: To develop an international consensus definition and diagnostic criteria for GPP using the modified Delphi method. Evidence Review: The rarity of GPP presents a challenge in acquiring comprehensive published clinical data necessary for developing standardized definition and criteria. Instead of relying on a literature search, 43 statements that comprehensively addressed the fundamental aspects of the definitions and diagnostic criteria for GPP were formulated based on expert reviews of 64 challenging GPP cases. These statements were presented to a panel of 33 global GPP experts for voting, discussion, and refinements in 2 virtual consensus meetings. Consensus during voting was defined as at least 80% agreement; the definition and diagnostic criteria were accepted by all panelists after voting and in-depth discussion. Findings: In the first and second modified Delphi round, 30 (91%) and 25 (76%) experts participated. In the initial Delphi round, consensus was achieved for 53% of the statements, leading to the approval of 23 statements that were utilized to develop the proposed definitions and diagnostic criteria for GPP. During the second Delphi round, the final definition established was, "Generalized Pustular Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease characterized by cutaneous erythema and macroscopically visible sterile pustules." It can occur with or without systemic symptoms, other psoriasis types, and laboratory abnormalities. GPP may manifest as an acute form with widespread pustules or a subacute variant with an annular phenotype. The identified essential criterion was, "Macroscopically visible sterile pustules on erythematous base and not restricted to the acral region or within psoriatic plaques." Conclusions and Relevance: The achievement of international consensus on the definition and diagnostic criteria for GPP underscores the importance of collaboration, innovative methodology, and expert engagement to address rare diseases. Although further validation is needed, these criteria can serve as a reference point for clinicians, researchers, and patients, which may contribute to more accurate diagnosis and improved management of GPP.

Ixekizumab Demonstrates Rapid and Consistent Efficacy for Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis, Regardless of Psoriasis Severity.

INTRODUCTION: Skin involvement in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) worsens the severity and burden of disease. Ixekizumab (IXE), a selective interleukin (IL)-17A antagonist, was compared to placebo (PBO) in the SPIRIT-P1 (NCT01695239) and SPIRIT-P2 (NCT02349295) studies in patients with PsA and evidence of plaque psoriasis. This post hoc analysis reports musculoskeletal, skin, and nail outcomes through week 24 in patients from SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2, stratified by mild, moderate, or psoriasis at baseline. METHODS: This post hoc analysis pooled patients from SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2 who were randomly assigned to PBO or IXE 80 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) or every 2 weeks (Q2W). Efficacy outcomes were analyzed through week 24 by baseline psoriasis severity, defined by percent body surface area (BSA) affected; mild = BSA < 3%, moderate = 3% ≤ BSA ≤ 10%, severe = BSA > 10%. The primary outcomes assessed were the proportion of patients achieving American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses. Secondary outcomes included musculoskeletal, disease activity, skin and nail, and health-related quality-of-life measures. RESULTS: Similar proportions of patients achieved ACR20/ACR50/ACR70 over time across all severity subgroups and treatment arms. More than one-third of IXE-treated patients achieved ACR20 at week 4, or ACR50 at week 24, with no significant differences according to psoriasis severity at baseline. Disease activity outcomes were similar through week 24 with both IXEQ4W and IXEQ2W, regardless of psoriasis severity at baseline. There were no significant differences over 24 weeks in the proportions of IXE-treated patients with mild, moderate, or severe baseline psoriasis who achieved Minimal Disease Activity (MDA). Across all severity subgroups, IXE demonstrated Psoriasis Area Severity Index 100 response as early as week 4, and approximately one-third of IXE-treated patients achieved total skin clearance at week 24. CONCLUSION: IXE demonstrated rapid and consistent efficacy in joint, skin, and nail for patients with PsA, regardless of baseline psoriasis severity. TRIAL REGISTRATION: SPIRIT-P1 (NCT01695239), SPIRIT-P2 (NCT02349295).

Impact of disease, musculoskeletal symptoms and disease control in the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry.

BACKGROUND: Early identification, diagnosis and symptom control of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in patients with psoriasis remain unmet medical needs. OBJECTIVES: To compare the impact of disease and other characteristics between patients with psoriasis who screened positive for PsA using the Psoriasis Epidemiology Screening Tool (PEST) (screen-positive group) and patients who (i) have PsA (PsA group) or (ii) screened negative for PsA (screen-negative group). Also, to determine the proportion of patients at a patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) in the screen-positive and PsA groups. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry. We included a convenience sample of patients with psoriasis from the screen-positive and PsA groups who completed the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease-12 (PsAID12), and a comparator screen-negative group who did not complete the PsAID12. We report descriptive summaries of demographics, comorbidities, psoriasis characteristics, patient-reported outcome measures and the proportion of patients at PASS (i.e. PsAID12 ≤ 4). RESULTS: The screen-positive, PsA and screen-negative groups included 369, 70 and 4724 patients, respectively. The screen-positive and PsA groups had a similar impact of disease, demographics, comorbidities and psoriasis characteristics (d < 0.337). Mean PsAID12 scores were 3.1 (SD 2.3) and 3.7 (SD 2.6) in the screen-positive and PsA groups, respectively. Compared with patients who screened negative for PsA, patients who screened positive exhibited higher rates of selected known predictors of PsA such as older age, longer psoriasis duration, nail disease and inverse psoriasis. The proportion of patients at PASS was 56% and 67% for the PsA and screen-positive groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The similar profiles between screen-positive and PsA groups, in comparison with the screen-negative group, support observations of possible underdiagnosis of PsA and the increased impact of disease, especially musculoskeletal disease, among patients who screen positive for PsA. The high percentage of patients not at an acceptable symptom state in the PsA and screen-positive groups highlights the need to optimize care in PsA.

Prevention of Psoriatic Arthritis: The Need for Prospective Studies.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a systemic chronic inflammatory disease that develops in up to 30% of patients with psoriasis. Mixed data variably support the potential ability to "prevent" and/or delay PsA through use of systemic therapies in psoriasis patients. Though intriguing, almost all of these studies are retrospective in nature, and hold substantial limitations and potential biases that challenge the ability to meaningfully interpretation their results. Thus, the authors believe prospective observational and interventional studies are crucial to understanding our ability to truly modify the transition from psoriasis to psoriatic arthritis and delay or prevent PsA onset.

Efficacy and safety of guselkumab in patients with active psoriatic arthritis who had inadequate efficacy and/or intolerance to one prior tumor necrosis factor inhibitor: study protocol for SOLSTICE, a phase 3B, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

BACKGROUND: Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) are frequently chosen as the first biologic for patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Given that many patients with PsA are TNFi inadequate responders (TNF-IR; either inadequate efficacy or intolerance), treatments utilizing alternative mechanisms of action are needed. In phase 3 studies, the fully human interleukin (IL)-23p19 subunit-inhibitor, guselkumab, was efficacious in patients with active PsA, including TNFi-IR. Efficacy was generally consistent between TNFi-naïve and TNFi-experienced cohorts; however, in the latter, higher response rates have been observed with the Q4W dosing regimen relative to the Q8W dosing regimen for some endpoints, suggesting the need to evaluate whether more frequent dosing may provide an incremental clinical benefit for TNFi-IR patients. METHODS: The phase 3b SOLSTICE study will assess guselkumab efficacy and safety in TNFi-IR PsA patients. Eligibility criteria include a PsA diagnosis for ≥ 6 months; active disease (≥ 3 swollen, ≥ 3 tender joints, C-reactive protein ≥ 0.3 mg/dL); and inadequate efficacy with, and/or intolerance to, one prior TNFi. Participants will be randomized 1:1:1 to guselkumab Q4W or Q8W or placebo→guselkumab Q4W (at Week 24). The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving ≥ 20% improvement in the American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR20) at Week 24. Major secondary endpoints include ACR50, ACR70; an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) of psoriasis score of 0/1 plus ≥ 2-grade reduction and ≥ 90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (both among patients with ≥ 3% body surface area affected by psoriasis and baseline IGA ≥ 2); minimal/very low disease activity; and changes from baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey Physical Component Summary, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scores. The target sample size (N = 450) is estimated to provide > 90% power in detecting differences between each guselkumab group and the placebo group for the primary endpoint assuming a 2-sided α = 0.05. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel testing and analyses of covariance will be used to compare efficacy for binary and continuous endpoints, respectively. DISCUSSION: Findings from the phase 3b SOLSTICE study, the design of which was informed by results from previously conducted phase 3 studies, is expected to provide important efficacy and safety information on guselkumab therapy in TNFi-IR patients with PsA. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04936308, on 23 June 2021.

Expression of IL-4 in Tumors: A Safety Surrogate to Predict Cancer Survival Associated With Biologic Therapies.

Interleukin (IL)-4-targeted therapies have revolutionized management of inflammatory dermatoses.

Bimekizumab safety in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis: Rates of hepatic events and changes in liver parameters over 2 years in randomized phase 3/3b trials.

BACKGROUND: Patients with psoriasis are at increased risk of liver function abnormalities. OBJECTIVE: Explore rates of hepatic treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and changes in liver parameters in bimekizumab-treated patients with psoriasis. METHODS: Data are reported from 5 phase 3/3b trials over 2 years. Hepatic TEAEs, laboratory elevations in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and changes in clinical markers of liver fibrosis (Fibrosis-4 [FIB-4] Index and AST to Platelet Ratio Index [APRI]) are reported. TEAEs are presented using exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 patient-years (PY). RESULTS: 2186 patients received ≥1 bimekizumab dose. Over 2 years, the EAIR of hepatic TEAEs was 3.5/100 PY and did not increase from first to second year. 2-year EAIRs of ALT/AST elevations >3x and >5x the upper limit of normal were 2.3 and 0.6/100 PY; rates were similar to placebo, adalimumab, secukinumab, and ustekinumab during controlled study periods. FIB-4 and APRI scores did not increase through 2 years, regardless of fibrosis risk at baseline. LIMITATIONS: Obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic alcohol consumption, and medication changes are confounding factors for hepatic dysfunction. CONCLUSION: Rates of hepatic adverse events (AEs) with bimekizumab were consistent through 2 years; incidences of transaminase elevations were similar to comparators during phase 3/3b controlled study periods.

Efficacy of risankizumab across subgroups in patients with active psoriatic arthritis: a post hoc integrated analysis of the phase 3 KEEPsAKE 1 and KEEPsAKE 2 randomized controlled trials.

In the KEEPsAKE 1 (NCT03675308) and KEEPsAKE 2 (NCT03671148) phase 3 trials, risankizumab demonstrated greater efficacy compared with placebo in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This post hoc integrated analysis evaluated achieving the following efficacy outcomes at weeks 24 and 52 by baseline demographics and clinical characteristics: ≥20%/50%/70% improvement in American College of Rheumatology response criteria (ACR20/50/70), ≥90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index, minimal disease activity status, Low Disease Activity status (Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis), and minimal clinically important difference in pain. Baseline demographics and clinical characteristics were similar between risankizumab (n = 707) and placebo (n = 700) groups. Numerically higher ACR20 response rates at week 24 (primary endpoint) were observed among the risankizumab (46.3%-60.1%) vs. placebo (15.5%-36.2%) cohorts, regardless of subgroups. At week 52, consistent proportions of patients randomized to risankizumab achieved ACR20 (48.6%-75.8%) while those initially randomized to placebo and switched to risankizumab experienced an improvement from week 24 (43.7%-63.9%), regardless of subgroups. Similar trends were observed for other efficacy measures assessing rigorous skin response criteria, composite measures of overall disease activity, and PsA-related symptoms. Risankizumab treatment was efficacious among patients with varying demographic and psoriatic disease characteristics through 52 weeks.
