PG - 668-679 LID - 10.1093/bjd/ljae014 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: In the phase III POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2 trials, deucravacitinib, an oral selective allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, was well tolerated and efficacious over 1 year in patients with psoriasis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate deucravacitinib safety and efficacy over 2 years in patients participating in the phase III trials. METHODS: In the POETYK long-term extension (LTE), an ongoing phase IIIb open-label trial, adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who completed PSO-1 or PSO-2 receive deucravacitinib 6 mg once daily. Safety was assessed via adverse events (AEs) and laboratory parameter abnormalities. Efficacy endpoints, including >/= 75% reduction from baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score (PASI 75) and static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) score of 0/1 (clear/almost clear), were evaluated in patients originally randomized to deucravacitinib, patients who crossed over from placebo at week 16 and patients who achieved PASI 75 at week 24 (peak efficacy). RESULTS: At data cutoff (1 October 2021), 1519 patients had received at least one dose of deucravacitinib; 79.0% and 39.9% had >/= 52 weeks and >/= 104 weeks of total deucravacitinib exposure, respectively. Exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) per 100 person-years were similar at 1 year and 2 years for any AEs (229.2 vs. 154.4, respectively), serious AEs (5.7 vs. 6.1), discontinuations (4.4 vs. 2.8), deaths (0.2 vs. 0.4), serious infections (1.7 vs. 2.6), herpes zoster (0.9 vs. 0.8), major adverse cardiovascular events (0.3 vs. 0.4), venous thromboembolic events (0.2 vs. 0.1) and malignancies (1.0 vs. 0.9). EAIRs for COVID-19 infections were higher at 2 years than at 1 year (5.1 vs. 0.5) owing to the peak of the global COVID-19 pandemic occurring during the LTE. No clinically meaningful changes from baseline or trends were observed over 2 years in haematological, chemistry or lipid parameters. Clinical responses were maintained in patients who received continuous deu-cravacitinib treatment from baseline [PASI 75: week 52, 72.4%; week 112, 79.7%; sPGA 0/1: week 52, 57.9%; week 112, 61.1% (as observed)]. Responses at week 52 were also maintained in placebo crossovers and in week-24 PASI-75 responders. CONCLUSIONS: Deucravacitinib maintained efficacy and demonstrated consistent safety with no new safety signals observed through 2 years. CI - (c) The Author(s) 2024.

Many available treatments for psoriasis are injected, but can be inadequate in terms of effectiveness, and/or cause serious side-effects. Deucravacitinib is a recently approved oral medicine that interferes with an enzyme involved in inflammation called 'tyrosine kinase 2' (TYK2). Deucravacitinib has been shown to improve psoriatic patches and symptoms (such as itching) through 1 year in two global clinical trials in adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2). This study was an analysis of the safety and efficacy of deu-cravacitinib for up to 2 years. To do this, the researchers used data from approximately 1500 people who completed both trials and continued into an ongoing, long-term extension trial (POETYK LTE). Overall, there were no new side-effects, and the number, type and severity of side-effects, as well as the number of patients who stopped treatment because of these side-effects, remained low. The most frequent side-effects included common cold symptoms and COVID-19. Rates of shingles and serious side-effects were comparable to rates reported in the real world. Improvements in psoriasis symptoms seen at 1 year were maintained for up to 2 years in patients receiving deucravacitinib treatment from the start of PSO-1 or PSO-2, or who crossed over from placebo to deucravacitinib at 4 months. Long-term treatment with deucravacitinib improved psoriasis symptoms and resulted in mostly mild side-effects. The study findings suggest that deucravacitinib could be a well-tolerated and effective treatment for people with psoriasis.
