Abstract

Among the newer medications for treating psoriasis are the interleukin-17A inhibitor secukinumab and the phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor apremilast. Secukinumab offers a level of efficacy greater than that of the tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor adalimumab. Apremilast is associated with lower levels of efficacy than the biologic therapies for psoriasis. Apremilast may cause diarrhea and nausea and is associated with weight loss and rare instances of depression. Semin Cutan Med Surg 35(supp4):S71-S73.

Keywords: Apremilast; efficacy; psoriasis; safety; secukinumab.
