    Abstract:
    Risankizumab, an anti-interleukin-23 monoclonal antibody, achieved significantly (P < 0.001) greater Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) clear or almost clear (0/1) responses than adalimumab in a phase III trial in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Meta-analyses of the PASI 50, PASI 75, PASI 90, PASI 100, and sPGA0/1 responses after 16 weeks of treatment from eight (three for risankizumab and five for adalimumab) randomized, placebo-controlled trials were conducted to estimate the efficacy difference between risankizumab and adalimumab. For PASI 75, PASI 90, PASI 100, and sPGA0/1 responses, the estimated effect differences (95% confidence interval) between risankizumab and adalimumab were 15.2% (10.1%, 20.4%), 23.7% (15.7%, 31.2%), 20.8% (13.0%, 28.7%), and 20.1% (13.7%, 26.1%), respectively. These results were consistent with the observed efficacy difference from the head-to-head phase III trial, which was not included in the meta-analyses, providing independent, confirmatory evidence of the superior efficacy of risankizumab compared with adalimumab for treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
