Xu et al. showed that elevated BMI, BSA, body weight, and basal metabolic rate are associated with more severe PsO and diminished treatment efficacy, especially for those treated with biologics. Authors investigated the associations of BMI, basal metabolic rate, BSA, and body weight with baseline PsO severity and therapeutic response across different treatment modalities.

Qiao et al. showed that ixekizumab demonstrated superior efficacy in mild-moderate versus severe PsO, suggesting greater benefit with early biologic intervention. Authors compared clinical efficacy, relapse rates, and drug retention between mild-to-moderate and severe plaque PsO cohorts with different severity levels treated with Ixekizumab.

Mirikizumab impact on disease clearance in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis: analysis of a pre-specified LUCENT trial endpoint

Crohn’s and Colitis 2025 Advance Access: 13 July 2025 Doi: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjaf124

Mirikizumab was evaluated for its ability to achieve disease clearance (DC) across two years in adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis within the LUCENT trial programme. DC required concurrent symptomatic, endoscopic, and histologic remission.

Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events and venous thromboembolic events between patients with psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis on tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, interleukin 17 inhibitors, interleukin 12/23 inhibitors, and interleukin 23 inhibitors: An emulated target trial analysis

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.
