The Psoriasis Treatment Pipeline

Significant research advances in our understanding of psoriatic disease have led to the development of several highly selective, effective, and safe topical and systemic treatments. These treatments have led to unprecedented levels of disease clearance and control for most patients with psoriasis with cutaneous disease. However, there remains a need for improved treatments for those patients with recalcitrant disease, psoriatic arthritis, or nonplaque disease variants. Recently approved therapies and investigational products in ongoing clinical development programs that target IL-17A/F, IL-23, TYK2, PDE4, AhR or IL-36 cytokine signaling are improving the clinician's ability to care for a broader range of patients affected by psoriasis.
