| Abstract: |
Real-world data on the efficacy of risankizumab (RZB) in clinical moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) are limited. The RAPID study assessed real-world clinical and patient-reported outcomes in RZB-treated PsO patients using data collected from dermatologists in Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, and Poland. This ongoing, retrospective chart review collected data from medical records of RZB-treated adults with moderate-to-severe PsO (09/2022-06/2023). Eligible patients received RZB, had ≥ 12 months of medical records after RZB initiation (index date), and had Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), Investigator Global Assessment (IGA), or static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) scores ≥ 3 months before and up to 18 months after the index date. The proportion of patients achieving a clear/almost clear PsO (IGA/sPGA = 0/1), PASI ≤ 1, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) = 0/1, and a 90%/100% improvement from baseline in PASI as well as the mean changes in PASI, DLQI, itch, and skin pain scores at 12 and 18 months were reported for patients with non-missing assessments at baseline and 12 months. Most patients (66. 4%) were male, 74. 0% were biologic naïve, and 73. 0% had scalp PsO. Mean baseline IGA/sPGA was 3. 7 ± 0. 5, with a mean PASI of 23. 3 ± 11. 8. After 12 months, 86. 1% of patients reported IGA/sPGA ≤ 1, and 75. 7% achieved PASI90; these further increased to 91. 1% and 80. 5% at 18 months. DLQI, itch, and skin pain scores improved over time. These data demonstrated the durable, real-world effectiveness of RZB in patients with moderate-to-severe PsO through continued improvement in disease and symptom severity over 18 months, with most of the patients reporting clear/almost clear skin. |
