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.

Brodalumab treatment resulted in a rapid reduction in the signs and symptoms of PsO. The median time to a PASI 75 response with 210 mg of brodalumab Q2W was 4 weeks, approximately twice as fast as the median time to a response with ustekinumab.
