Efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab for plaque psoriasis with continuous dosing, treatment interruption, dose adjustments and switching from etanercept: results from phase III studies.

Patients generally fared well with tildrakizumab maintenance, reinitiation, dose adjustment or initiation. What's already known about this topic? Tildrakizumab demonstrated significant efficacy vs. placebo with a positive safety profile during the first 28 weeks of treatment in two randomized double-blind trials. What does this study add? Treatment scenarios with tildrakizumab, such as long-term continuous dosing (up to 64 weeks), treatment interruption/reinitiation and switching from another biologic, can be part of the management of plaque psoriasis with a reasonable expectation of efficacy and tolerability.
