Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Psoriasis is a common, chronic, inflammatory, immune-mediated disease, primarily affecting the skin. It is characterized by abnormalities in innate and acquired immunity, hyperproliferation, and abnormal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes.

Psoriasis is a systemic, multifactorial disease associated with psoriatic arthritis in approximately one-third of patients, so early recognition and effective treatment are critical for patients. ​In addition, people with severe psoriasis are at higher risk for metabolic and cardiovascular disease. The development of new effective treatments for psoriasis has changed the prognosis and the life of many patients around the world, but there is a strong need for more real-world experiences of these drugs

This Special Issue entitled “Cutting-Edge Research on Psoriasis” is now open for submissions, welcoming both original researches and reviews that describe the latest treatment strategies and clinical management approaches related to psoriasis.

Background: Risankizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively inhibits interleukin-23. It has been approved for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and has shown efficacy and safety in clinical trials and real-world experiences. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, safety, and drug survival of risankizumab in a real-life setting. Materials and Methods: We included patients treated with risankizumab from January 2019 to February 2023. A Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI) was collected at weeks 0, 16, 28, 52, 104, and 156, when available. The occurrence of any adverse events was recorded at each visit. Results: We enrolled 1047 patients. At week 52, a ≥90% improvement in PASI was observed in 81.44% of patients, with a continuous improvement throughout the study (88.99% and 99.07% at weeks 104 and 156, respectively). After three years of treatment, all patients involving the scalp, palms/soles, and genitalia and 95% of patients with nail psoriasis achieved a complete or almost complete skin clearance. No significant safety findings were observed, and 90.73% of the patients were still on treatment after 36 months. Conclusions: This study supports the long-term effectiveness and safety of risankizumab in a real-world setting, even in patients involving difficult-to-treat areas. Full article
