摘要

Introduction

Obesity contributes to inflammation and may decrease psoriasis treatment efficacy. We investigated whether obesity affects the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab, an anti-interleukin-23 p19 antibody approved for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, for scalp psoriasis treatment.

Methods

This was a subgroup analysis of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 3b trial in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis affecting the scalp. Patients receiving tildrakizumab 100 mg or placebo were analyzed by baseline obesity status (body mass index ≥ 30 versus < 30 kg/m2). Efficacy outcomes included an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) modified 2011 (scalp) (IGA mod 2011 [scalp]) score of “clear”/“almost clear” (0/1) with a ≥ 2-point reduction (IGA mod 2011 [scalp] response), ≥ 90% improvement in Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI) score (PSSI 90 response), ≥ 4-point reduction in Scalp Itch-Numeric Rating Scale (Scalp Itch-NRS response; among patients scoring ≥ 4 at baseline), and percent change from baseline (%CFB) in affected scalp surface area (SSA). Safety was assessed from adverse events. The analysis was not prospectively powered to detect differences between subgroups.

Results

In the intention-to-treat population, 56/117 (47.9%) patients randomized to tildrakizumab and 57/114 (50.0%) to placebo had obesity (modified intention-to-treat population: tildrakizumab, 43/89 [48.3%]; placebo, 40/82 [48.8%]). At Week 16, significantly more patients treated with tildrakizumab versus those receiving placebo achieved IGA mod 2011 (scalp) (obesity, 21/43 [48.8%] versus 4/40 [10.0%], p = 0.0002; no obesity, 23/46 [50.0%] versus 2/42 [4.8%], p < 0.0001) and PSSI 90 responses (obesity, 27/43 [62.8%] versus 4/40 [10.0%], p < 0.0001; no obesity, 27/46 [58.7%] versus 0/42 [0.0%], p < 0.0001). Treatment effect was also maintained for Scalp Itch-NRS response (p < 0.0001) and mean %CFB in affected SSA (no statistical testing), regardless of obesity status. Results in patients treated with tildrakizumab were similar through Week 52. No new safety signals were identified.

Conclusions

No statistically significant differences in efficacy or safety were observed between patients with and without obesity.
