Deucravacitinib versus placebo and apremilast in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis: Efficacy and safety results from the 52-week, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled Phase 3 POETYK PSO-1 trial
J Am Acad Dermatol 2023;88:29–39. doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2022.07.002
Deucravacitinib has shown efficacy in the treatment of both skin and joint disease. As a result, researchers sought to compare the efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib versus placebo and apremilast in adults with moderate to severe plaque PsO.
Investigators of this study reported that deucravacitinib was well tolerated, demonstrating efficacy superior to both placebo and apremilast. These data suggest that deucravacitinib can reduce disease activity and improve symptoms and QoL among patients who require systemic therapy for PsO.
