Kristensen et al. compared 14 PsA drugs across five treatment classes, evaluating their real-world effectiveness over three months. Ixekizumab showed rapid effectiveness on joint disease activity and skin outcomes, performing better than IL-12/23i and IL-23i, and comparable to TNFi and JAKi. More patients with active psoriasis achieved minimal disease activity with Ixekizumab than other therapies.

This retrospective analysis by Weddell, et al. found no difference in IL-17Ai (secukinumab and ixekizumab) survival rates and no relationship between PsA or axSpA diagnosis and drug survival. They also noted lower survival figures at 2 years of treatment.

This post hoc analysis of the SPIRIT-H2H study showed that patients with PsA that were treated with ixekizumab had significantly higher rates of symptom resolution versus adalimumab at Weeks 12 and 52 in distal interphalangeal joint disease and nail PsO.

Incident rates of TEAEs were comparable for patients with PsO, PsA, and axSpA and did not increase with prolonged ixekizumab (IXE) treatment. Deodhar, et al. presented the final update on the long-term safety of IXE up to 6 years in PsO patients and up to 3 years in PsA and axSpA patients. Exposure-adjusted incident rates were calculated using patient data (TEAEs, SAEs, selected AEs) from 25 clinical trials.

Kwon, et al. found that adalimumab exposure significantly reduced risk of incident and recurrent acute anterior uveitis (AAU) versus etanercept exposure and bDMARD non-exposure. Furthermore, exposure to etanercept significantly increased risk of incident and recurrent AAU versus bDMARD non-exposure.

January 2024

This monocentric, retrospective clinical study by Mastorino, et al. found that ixekizumab demonstrated efficacy an safety in patients with PsA and PsO for up to five years. Being a super-responder was significantly associated with a lower rate of discontinuation, while high BMI was associated with a lower achievement of more than one PSAI measure up to Week 104.
