Week 12: PASI75 was achieved by 62% and 64% in 200 mg and 100 mg tildrakizumab respectively compared to 6% in placebo group

PGA 0/1 was achieved by 59% in the 200 mg group and 58% in the 100 mg group compared to 7% in placebo

Week 12: PASI75 was achieved by 66% and 61% in 200 mg and 100 mg tildrakizumab respectively compared to 6% in placebo group and 48% in etanercept group

PGA 0/1 was achieved by 59% in the 200 mg group and 55% in the 100 mg group compared to 4% in placebo and 48% in etanercept group

Most common AE was nasopharyngitis. Serious AEs were low in both groups, 1 patient in reSURFACE2 with alcoholic cardiomyopathy and steatohepatitis died and adjudication was undetermined 23

Week 12: PASI 75 were better with tildrakizumab 100 and 200 mg (62.3% and 64.8%, respectively) than placebo (5.6%)

Tildrakizumab was better for PASI90, PASI100, and PGA 0/1 versus placebo (p < 0.0001)

In T100/T100 and T200/T200 partial responders at week 28 the proportion of patients that achieved PASI75 increased over time. In T100/T200 week 28 partial responders PASI75 increased from 38.5% at week 32 to 63.2% at week 52 and PASI75 remained constant in T200/T100. Among the patients that relapsed in T100/PBO and T200/PBO, 86% and 83% of those who reinitiated tildrakizumab achieved PASI75 by week 64 See reSURFACE 1, and 2 81
