Drs. Joël Claveau & Julien Ringuet, two Canadian dermatologists with prominent clinical and research practices, attended the Les Journées Dermatologiques de Paris conference in Nov-Dec 2022, with a focus on presentations and posters about psoriasis. This article reviews key insights they obtained at the meeting.

Drug update covering: Adalimumab-adbm for SC use - Cyltezo®, Tralokinumab for SC use - Adtralza® (in Canada), Tralokinumab-ldrm for SC use - Adbry™ (in US), Melanoma vaccine for IV use - BNT111, Adalimumab-aqvh for SC use - Yusimry™, and more...

Although biologics are well-studied, expertise regarding their use is often lacking. Many biologics have been added to the market in recent years with distinctive characteristics. This study was designed to create a tool to assist physicians involved in the care of patients with psoriasis undergoing biologic treatment.

The update covers: Secukinumab for SC use - Cosentyx® (Novartis), Brincidofovir tablets and oral suspension - Tembexa® (Chimerix), Plasminogen, humantvmh - Ryplazim® (Liminal BioSciences), Halobetasol propionate lotion 0.01% w/w - Bryhali™ (Bausch Health), and Nomacopan for SC use (Akari Therapeutics).

A list of skin treatments introduced in 2018, categorized by type/class of therapy. The content primarily focuses on approvals issued by US and Canadian drug regulatory agencies and is sourced from both regulatory and industry news releases.

Interleukin (IL)-17 is important in the pathophysiology of psoriasis and has proven to be an effective therapeutic target. As brodalumab enters the marketplace, a review of this important biologic, its safety profile, and discussion of possible adverse effects is in order.

September-October 2017 Update on drugs include Isopropyl myristate solution Resultz®, Delafloxacin oral and IV formulations Baxdela™, Plasma-derived concentrate of C1 esterase inhibitor SC (human) Haegarda®, Oral dimethyl fumarate Skilarence®, Abatacept for IV or SC injection Orencia®, Consentyx®, Tremfya™, Yervoy® and Benlysta®.

Secukinumab demonstrates rapid and robust clinical improvement accompanied by a favorable short- term safety profile. The results of the phase III trials continue to reinforce the theory that the IL-17 pathway is an essential target in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis treatment.

The list covers new skin treatments for Actinic Keratosis, Hemangioma, Hidradenitis Suppurativa, as well as Anti-acne Agents, Antibacterial Agents, Anti-cancer Agents, Dermal Fillers, Neuromodulator and other treatments and drugs.

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease with epidermal hyperplasia. Interleukin (IL)-17 signaling has a central role in its pathogenesis, and is being looked at as a target. The rationale for IL-17 inhibitors, clinical trial results of new drugs like Brodalumab are included.

In this review, we summarize the most common immunosuppressant medications currently used in dermatology, and provide recommendations for infection screening prior to initiating treatment.

Recent advances in our understanding of the innate and adaptive immune systems have led to the identification of interleukin (IL)-17 as a key pro-inflammatory mediator in psoriasis. We review phase 1-3 clinical trials of ixekizumab, for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
