  • Efficacy and Safety of Biologics for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis and Their Impact on Comorbidities
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Efficacy and Safety of Biologics for Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis and Their Impact on Comorbidities: A Literature Review Masahiro Kamata and Yayoi Tada * Department of Dermatology, Teikyo University School of Medicine, 2-11-1 Kaga, Itabashi-ku, Tokyo 173-8605, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-3-3964-1211; Fax: +81-3-3814-1503 Received: 13 February 2020; Accepted: 26 February 2020; Published: 1 March 2020 Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by scaly indurated erythema. It impairs patients’ quality of life enormously. It has been recognized not only as a skin disease but as a systemic disease, since it also causes arthritis (psoriatic arthritis) and mental disorders. Furthermore, an association with cardiovascular events is indicated. With the advent of biologics, treatment of psoriasis dramatically changed due to its high efficacy and tolerable safety. A variety of biologic agents are available for the treatment of psoriasis nowadays. However, characteristics such as rapidity of onset, long-term efficacy, safety profile, and effects on comorbidities are different. Better understanding of those characteristic leads to the right choice for individual patients, resulting in higher persistence, longer drug survival, higher patient satisfaction, and minimizing the disease impact of psoriasis. In this paper, we focus on the efficacy and safety profile of biologics in psoriasis patients, including plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. In addition, we discuss the impact of biologics on comorbidities caused by psoriasis. Keywords: biologics; psoriasis; psoriatic arthritis; tumor necrosis factor-α; inteleukin-23; interluekin-17 1.
