The association of age at psoriasis onset and HLA-C*06:02 with biologic survival in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis: a cohort study from the British Association of Dermatologists Biologics and Immunomodulators Register (BADBIR)
CONCLUSIONS: HLA-C*06:02 but not age at psoriasis onset is a predictive biomarker for biologic survival in psoriasis patients. Findings from this large cohort provide further, important information to aid clinicians using biologic therapies to manage psoriasis patients.PMID:38051972 | DOI:10.1093/bjd/ljad481 (Source: The British Journal of Dermatology)

Drug-induced tumoral disease: A global pharmacovigilance database analysis
DISCUSSION: Our results show that the main pharmacological mechanisms are associated with ranitidine (link with levels of N-nitrosodimethylamine in ranitidine-based drugs), gene-activating drugs (pioglitazone: link with agonist effects on PPAR-γ gene activation), various pharmacological families with immunosuppressive effects (protein kinase inhibitors, immunomodulators, azathioprine, etc.), certain types of protein kinase inhibitors whose oncogenic mechanisms remain unclear (regorafenib, sorafenib, imatinib, ibrutinib, etc.), and hormone antagonists (tamoxifen, letrozole). Special monitoring of patients exposed to these ...

ADA_ETA_BIO2021: real-world evaluation of adherence, persistence, and cost-effectiveness of originator and biosimilar biologic drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: a multicenter study in Italy
CONCLUSIONS: This multicentre retrospective observational study of bDMARDs used in the treatment of RA showed that, for all the drugs studied, there was no problem with adherence to treatment but rather a difficulty in maintaining treatment with the same drug over time.PMID:37994874 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2023.2287600 (Source: Current Medical Research and Opinion)

Management of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome/Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis: A Case Report and Literature Review
DISCUSSION: This literature review highlights how SJS/TEN may present differently in patients on immune checkpoint inhibitors. Treatments in these cases may vary from those with classic SJS/TEN.  Specifically, etanercept given days late into the disease course is effective in speeding re-epithelialization and tapering of already given corticosteroids in classic SJS/TEN.
