Cai et al. demonstrated that xeligekimab significantly improved the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with 90.7% achieving PASI 75 at week 12. Xeligekimab was well-tolerated with no unexpected safety concerns.

This meta-analysis by Wei, et al. found that JAKi therapy was not associated with a higher risk of MACE than treatment with adalimumab, abatacept, or placebo. However, a higher incidence of all-cause mortality was observed with tofacitinib treatment than with adalimumab treatment.
