Chen et al. investigated the risk of MACE and VTE among patients with biologic-naïve psoriasis or PsA receiving biologic therapy. No significant difference in the risks of MACE and VTE was found between new biologics (IL-17i, IL-12/23i, or IL-23i) and TNFi.
No statistically significant difference in the risks of MACE and VTE was found between biologics, despite slight differences of median values and results were consistent in subgroup analyses of patients with only psoriasis or only PsA.
