PG - 47-56 LID - 10.1111/ddg.14308 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of biologics for patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: We systematically reviewed 60 randomized controlled trials (34,020 participants), which compared 14 biological drugs for treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The main assessment criteria were >/= 90 % reductions in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) and the number of patients who reported treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs). Secondary criteria were >/= 75 % reductions in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75), Physician's Global Assessment 0/1 (PGA 0/1) and infections. RESULTS: This network meta-analysis showed that biologics were significantly more effective than placebo. Ixekizumab, risankizumab, and bimekizumab were among the most effective treatments, and tildrakizumab, guselkumab and risankizumab were better than the other drugs with respect to safety. Risankizumab and guselkumab performed relatively stable with respect to both efficacy and safety. At the class level, blockers of interleukin (IL)-17A showed favorable efficacy while inhibitors of the p19 subunit of IL-23 were best tolerated of all efficient biologics. CONCLUSIONS: Ixekizumab was the most effective biologic in PASI 90, while IL-23p19 inhibitors, risankizumab and guselkumab performed relatively stable with respect to efficacy and safety.
