Alternative therapies are needed for patients with psoriasis who must discontinue a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitor due to limited efficacy, loss of efficacy, or adverse reactions.
In patients switched to ixekizumab following non-response to etanercept, a TNF-α inhibitor, we observed a favorable response in the majority of patients.
In both UNCOVER-2 and -3, safety profiles were comparable in placebo non-responders and etanercept non-responders after switching to ixekizumab.
