Emerging Therapies Plaque Psoriasis

Twice-weekly treatment with calcipotriene-betamethasone diproprionate provides safe and effective maintenance treatment for plaque psoriasis, according to phase 3 data.

Studies offer further insight into risks associated with biologic therapy. One study suggests it’s not necessary to stop biologic therapy preoperatively to limit post-operative infections. Another systematic review does not rule out melanoma risk.

Phase 3 data announced at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) Virtual Meeting Experience (VMX) 2020 demonstrate that the second-generation IL-17 inhibitor may offer long-lasting, safe treatment for patients with psoriasis.
