Response to: 'Anakinra for palmoplantar pustulosis: results from a randomized, double-blind, multicentre, two-staged, adaptive placebo-controlled trial (APRICOT)': reply from the authors

S Cro et al. Br J Dermatol. 2022 May.

Abstract

We believe that there is significant interest in the role of IL-1 in the pathomechanism of palmoplantar pustulosis. However, the APRICOT study failed to demonstrate a therapeutic effect of the IL-1 receptor antagonist. So, we recommend that the authors perform an additional subgroup analysis based on the presence or absence of plaque psoriasis.
