TLDR Risankizumab effectively treats and maintains skin clearance in moderate-to-severe psoriasis.
This study from the CorEvitas Psoriasis Registry evaluated the long-term effectiveness of risankizumab in treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Involving 163 patients, the study found that after 18 months of continuous treatment, 94.6% of patients with a baseline body surface area (BSA) ≥3% achieved the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF)-defined acceptable response, and 81.9% reached the target goals. Additionally, 83.7% of patients who achieved a 90% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI90) at 6 months maintained their response at 12 months. This indicates that risankizumab is effective in achieving and maintaining treatment targets in a real-world setting.
