Real-world clinical outcomes and healthcare costs in patients with Crohn's disease treated with vedolizumab versus ustekinumab in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: In this real-world study, similar treatment persistence, dose escalation, and rates of opportunistic or serious infections were observed with VDZ- and UST-treated patients with CD. However, VDZ was associated with a significantly lower cost outlay for healthcare systems.PMID:38586979 | DOI:10.1080/03007995.2024.2326585 (Source: Current Medical Research and Opinion)

Pharmacokinetics of Monoclonal Antibodies Throughout Pregnancy: A Systematic Literature Review
ConclusionAvailable information suggests that the anatomical and physiological changes throughout pregnancy may have meaningful effects on the PK of mAbs. For most mAbs (not IFX), modestly higher dosing (per mg) maybe needed during pregnancy to sustain a similar serum exposure compared to pre-pregnancy. (Source: Clinical Pharmacokinetics)

Short-term effectiveness and potential factors of ustekinumab based on real-world data in Chinese psoriasis patients
CONCLUSION: In this study, nearly one-third of patients achieved PASI 75 after only the first-dose ustekinumab treatment. Sex, family history of psoriasis, MS, serum TG level might affect the short-term effectiveness, and serum HDL-C level may be a potential factor. The possibility of achieving treatment goals (PASI 75/90/100) at week 4 increased along with serum HDL-C levels.PMID:38531383 | DOI:10.1080/09546634.2024.2321188 (Source: Journal of Dermatological Treatment)

Comparing Achievement of National Psoriasis Foundation Treatment Targets among Patients with Plaque Psoriasis Treated with Ixekizumab versus Other Biologics in Clinical and Real-World Studies
ConclusionAcross both clinical studies and real-world settings, more patients treated with IXE achieved NPF target and acceptable responses at week  12 compared with those treated with other biologics.Trial RegistrationUNCOVER-2 (NCT01597245); UNCOVER-3 (NCT01646177); IXORA-R (NCT03573323); IXORA-S (NCT02561806); PSoHO (EUPAS24207).
