Long term safety of ixekizumab in adults with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, or axial spondyloarthritis: A post hoc analysis of final safety data from 25 randomized clinical trials
Arthritis Res Ther 2024;26(1):49 doi: 10.1186/s13075-023-03257-7
Incident rates of TEAEs were comparable for patients with PsO, PsA, and axSpA and did not increase with prolonged ixekizumab (IXE) treatment. Deodhar, et al. presented the final update on the long-term safety of IXE up to 6 years in PsO patients and up to 3 years in PsA and axSpA patients. Exposure-adjusted incident rates were calculated using patient data (TEAEs, SAEs, selected AEs) from 25 clinical trials.
Patients mostly experienced mild or moderate TEAEs, and the incidence rate of SAEs and treatment-related discontinuation were low and comparable across indications. Nasopharyngitis was the most common TEAE across all indications. Safety signals remained stable through prolonged IXE treatment and were within expected ranges.
