Abstract

BackgroundTildrakizumab is a high-affinity, humanized IgG1κ monoclonal antibody targeting the p19 subunit of IL-23, which is a key regulatory cytokine in psoriasis. Based on evidence from clinical trials, tildrakizumab is approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in patients eligible for systemic therapy.MethodsWe report our clinical experience with 26 patients followed up to 24 weeks.ResultsNo adverse event was observed and no patient discontinued tildrakizumab. Whilst no patient had a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of <5 at baseline, at week 4, 8 (32%) patients had a PASI score of <3 and 6 of these had a PASI score of 0. At week 12, 19 (79%) patients had a PASI score of <5 and, among these, 18 had a PASI score of <3 of whom 16 had a PASI score of 0. At week 24, 22 (96%) patients had a PASI score of <3 and 20 (87%) had a PASI score of 0. Quality of life was improved after 4 weeks and through the whole period of observation.ConclusionOur experience in the real-life setting confirms the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab as demonstrated by clinical trials.
