Ixekizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody that exhibits its immunomodulatory effects by binding to interleukin 17A (IL-17A), a proinflammatory cytokine. It was approved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis by the Food and Drug Administration in 2016. Ixekizumab has demonstrated superiority in clinical trials against etanercept, with no significant difference in the side effect profile. The chronicity of psoriasis requires continual treatment to achieve disease clearance. Many factors may affect adherence to treatment including patient satisfaction, patient preferences, medication cost, and medication side effects. Limited data on patient adherence, satisfaction, and preference exists in formal literature. Often, surrogate measures must be used to extrapolate information regarding these measures. In this narrative review, we describe patient adherence, satisfaction, and preferences via both direct and surrogate measures as they relate to ixekizumab treatment for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
