Ixekizumab showed faster early skin responses than guselkumab or ustekinumab after secukinumab treatment failure in a real-world cohort.
67% of patients switching to ixekizumab achieved PASI 75 at week 12, compared to 28% with guselkumab and 17% with ustekinumab.
The study evaluated 59 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who switched biologics due to treatment failure or adverse events.
Safety profiles were similar across all treatment groups, with 20% of patients experiencing mild adverse events.
Subgroup analyses indicated that treatment history may influence response to biologic switching, though findings were not statistically significant.
