Mease et al. showed that guselkumab provided significantly higher rates of clinical improvement and significant inhibition of structural damage progression versus PBO, with no new safety signals, at Week 24 in biologic-naïve participants with active and erosive PsA. Mease et al. report primary efficacy and safety results for the double-blind PBO-controlled phase (Weeks 0-24) of the 3-year APEX study.

A randomised phase 3b study evaluating the safety and efficacy of risankizumab in adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis with non-pustular palmoplantar involvement

Lebwohl et al. investigated the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared with placebo for treating palmoplantar psoriasis. At Wk16, significantly more patients receiving risankizumab achieved palmoplantar Investigator’s Global Assessment (ppIGA) 0/1 and PPASI75. The results were sustained through Wk52 with no new safety signals.
