Efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in 2 replicate double-blind, randomised, placebo controlled and ustekinumab controlled Phase III clinical trials.

Part A (baseline to Week 16): Patients received either SKYRIZI 150mg, ustekinumab 45/90mg, or placebo.

Part B (Weeks 16 to 52): SKYRIZI and ustekinumab patients continued on treatment

Study design

UltIMMa-1 and UltIMMa-2 were replicate Phase Ill, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active comparator-controlled trials done at 139 sites. Eligible patients were 18 years or older, with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. In each study, patients were stratified by weight and previous exposure to TNF inhibitor and randomly assigned (3:1:1) by use of interactive response technology to receive 150mg risankizumab, 45mg or 90mg ustekinumab (weight-based per label), or placebo.

^*Dosing of ustekinumab was 90mg for patients weighing over 100kg.

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).
