The two primary endpoints were defined as non-inferiority at week 16 and superiority at week 52 with respect to PASI90. Secondary endpoints were the values of the following parameters at week 52: PASI 100, sPGA 0\/1, and PASI 75.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-13313\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/tab1_dp1_s27.png\" style=\"height:259px; width:600px\" width=\"1100\" height=\"475\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Under treatment with risankizumab, a proportion of 74% of patients reached PASI90 at week 16, compared with only 66% in the secukinumab condition [3]. Risankizumab also met the second primary endpoint (87% PASI 90 response vs. 57% with secukinumab, p&lt;0.001) [3]. The IL23 inhibitor risankizumab also proved superior to the IL17A inhibitor secukinumab in all measured secondary endpoints in this study, including PASI 100, PASI 75, and sPGA 0\/1 at week 52 (p&lt;0.001) [3]. The safety profile of Skyrizi\u2122 was consistent with that of previous studies, with no new safety signals reported over the 52-week study period (4-6). The biologics Skyrizi\u2122 (risankizumab) [1] and <sup>Cosentyx\u00ae<\/sup> (secukinumab) [2] are approved in Switzerland for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults. These are two of the successively expanded spectrum of interleukin-antagonistic treatment options for psoriasis patients in recent years.
