Gold et al. showed that icotrokinra showed superior clinical response rates versus PBO and deucravacitinib in Phase 3 moderate-to-severe plaque PsO trials. Authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of icotrokinra, a targeted oral peptide that selectively binds the IL-23 receptor, compared with both PBO and deucravacitinib in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque PsO.

Tsai et al. conducted a systematic literature review and network meta-analysis evaluating deucravacitinib and other systemic treatments for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Asian populations. The authors reported that deucravacitinib achieved PASI75 and PASI90 response rates of 66% and 40%, respectively, higher than placebo and apremilast.

Week 16 coprimary endpoints of PASI 75 response and sPGA score improved in the majority of patients and was overall maintained through week 52. Deucravacitinib therapy was also associated with a low AE rate. This study presented results from the POETYK PSO-4 trial on the safety and efficacy of deucravacitinib 6mg QD in Japanese patients with psoriasis.
