摘要
Introduction: Certolizumab pegol (CZP) is an Fc-free PEGylated TNF-α inhibitor approved for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and plaque psoriasis in many countries. It demonstrated favorable results in PsA in terms of improvement in peripheral arthritis, dactylitis, and enthesitis in a phase III trial (RAPID-PSA) and in real-life experiences. Recently, three phase III randomized clinical trials (CIMPASI-1, CIMPASI-2, CIMPACT) showed significant and sustained improvements in signs and symptoms of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis as well as in quality of life parameters as compared to placebo and etanercept.Areas covered: We reviewed the structure and the mechanism of action of CZP, and critically analyzed data from clinical trials and real-life, concerning its efficacy and safety in all aspects of the psoriatic disease. We designed a comprehensive literature search on this topic, by a review of published articles in indexed international journals up until 31 July 2019.Expert opinion: CZP demonstrated positive results in several domains of psoriatic disease, also in patients previously exposed to other TNF-α inhibitors and in patients receiving re-treatment after treatment interruption. The peculiar chemical structure, along with its well-established efficacy and safety, support CZP as the drug of choice in specific subgroups of patients with psoriatic disease, in particular patients with comorbidities and pregnant or breastfeeding female patients.
