SKYRIZI LONG-TERM DATA: NMA data
Limitations of NMAs
Network meta-analyses simultaneously analyse all direct and indirect evidence for comparisons of treatments across the network. The main consideration for limitations in a network meta-analysis are to ensure that the relative contributions of different sources of direct evidence, which may have different study limitations, are accounted for appropriately. Judgments should be made across comparisons, considering potential differences between the populations, treatments, and outcomes by the network meta-analysis.
Limitations of this study
The current analysis is limited to outcomes at 48-56 weeks. This analysis is based on data obtained from 215 RCTs from 689 publications. The results need to be validated using real-world data that reflect actual utilisation and outcomes patterns in the psoriasis population to evaluate its generalisability.
Objectives
Bayesian network meta-analyses (NMs) were conducted to compare the efficacy (at least a 75/90/100% reduction in PASI score from baseline) and safety outcomes (any adverse event (AE), any serious AE (SAE), and AEs loading to treatment discontinuation) of each treatment evaluated between Weeks 48 and 56 after baseline.
This systematic literature review was originally conducted on December 4,2017, and updated on September 17, 2018, February 19, 2021, and May 2, 2021. The 2021 update incorporates recently licensed biologics in Europe and the US, covering all doses published in randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Study selection
215 RCTs from 689 publications through May 2, 2021. A total of 14 studies were included in the MAs of long-term efficacy and safety outcomes, while 201 were excluded. The searched databases include Embase, MEDLINE, and the Cochrane library. Additional searches were conducted for the reference lists of included studies, conference proceedings, previous health technology assessment submissions, and clinical trial registries.
Data analysis
Rankings were quantified by the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA). The benefit-risk profiles of treatments were assessed by bidimensional plots of the NMA-estimated efficacy and safety outcomes.
Study funding
AbbVie Inc funded the study and participated in the study design, research, analysis, data collection, interpretation of data, review, and approval of the publication. No honoraria or payments were made for authorship.
Select definitions
SUCRA: The surface under the cumulative ranking curve, a simple transformation of the mean rank, is used to provide a hierarchy of the treatments and accounts both for the location and the variance of all relative treatment effects. The larger the SUCRA value, the better the rank of the treatment.
Clear/nearly clear: At least a 75/90/100% reduction in PSI score from baseline improvement in PASI.
Tolerability: Withdrawal due to any adverse event.

A decision should be made whether to discontinue/abstain from risankizumab therapy, taking into account the benefit of breast-feeding to the child and the benefit of risankizumab therapy to the woman.
Dosing in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis
The recommended dose of SKYRIZI is 150mg administered by subcutaneous injection at Week 0, Week 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter.
Adverse reactions
For adverse reactions, please refer to the prescribing information and the SKYRIZI summary of product characteristics available online in the Electronic Medicines Compendium via the links above.
Important safety information for HUMIRA® (adalimumab) in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis²
HUMIRA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of a physician experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions for which HUMIRA is indicated.
Psoriatic arthritis: HUMIRA is indicated for the treatment of active and progressive psoriatic arthritis in adults when the response to previous disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy has been inadequate. HUMIRA has been shown to reduce the rate of progression of peripheral joint damage as measured by X-ray in patients with polyarticular symmetrical subtypes of the disease and to improve physical function.
Psoriasis: HUMIRA is indicated for the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systematic therapy
Paediatric plaque psoriasis: HUMIRA is indicated for the treatment of severe chronic plaque psoriasis in children and adolescents from 4 years of age who have had an inadequate response to or are inappropriate candidates for topical therapy and phototherapies.
Some patients may not be suitable for HUMIRA. You are strongly advised to read the prescribing information, which can be found at the top of this webpage and below, and the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) which are available online in the Electronic Medicines Compendium (EMC).
