Conversely, while newly approved HS medications such as secukinumab and bimekizumab show promise for the general population, further research is necessary to evaluate their safety profiles in pregnant and breastfeeding individuals. The scant research available on HS in pregnant and lactating women, also shown by our systematic literature review, highlights the need for a comprehensive investigation into the safety, efficacy, and suitability of management strategies.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 12, 2025 Meanwhile, certolizumab pegol (CZP), a TNF inhibitor without the Fc region, remains at high concentrations in the blood...When serum IgM-RF levels are high, antibody drugs with the Fc region are more likely to bind to IgM-RF and be degraded. Thus, CZP without the Fc region may be more favorable for patients with high serum RF levels.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 16, 2024 P4 Based on this randomised controlled trial, abatacept treatment was associated with a better response than ACT in the RF and/or ACPA-positive subgroup at 24 weeks, but this was no longer seen at 48 weeks; adding SE allele-related genetic markers did not strengthen the association. Moreover, ACPA, RF and SE allele-related genotypes were not, alone or in combination, associated with clinical responses of importance sufficiently strongly to warrant implementation in clinical practice.

Induction Cost Per Responder of Brodalumab Compared With Other Biologic Therapies for Patients With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis in Canada () - Nov 4, 2024 - Abstract #ISPOREU2024ISPOR_EU_3175; The CPR was estimated as the drug acquisition costs during the induction period multiplied by the number needed to treat (NNT) for achieving PASI 75, 90, or 100 for the following treatments: adalimumab (innovator and SEB), brodalumab, bimekizumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept (innovator and SEB), guselkumab, infliximab (innovator and SEB), ixekizumab, risankizumab, secukinumab, tildrakizumab, ustekinumab (innovator and SEB). These results demonstrate that brodalumab has the lowest induction CPR across all PASI outcomes compared to other biologic therapies, including SEB therapies, thus providing the best value for money for patients, prescribers, and payers.
