SKYRIZI: An IL-23/p19 inhibitor2-7

 

DURABILITY


 

SIMPLICITY

Nothing more than 4 INJECTIONS PER YEAR after initiation doses for both PsO and PsA patients1*

NO DOSE ADJUSTMENT regardless of baseline characteristics, including BMI and weight1,12,13†

  • SKYRIZI is dosed 150 mg (one 150-mg subcutaneous injection) at Week 0, Week 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter.1
  • Low rate of injection site reactions at Week 16 (based on an analysis of 5 PsO clinical trials: SKYRIZI 1.5% vs placebo 1.0%)14
 In a long-term analysis (up to 7.8 years), rates of injection site reactions were low for SKYRIZI PsO patients (2.9 E/100 PY).15‡

Consideration should be given to discontinuing treatment in patients who have shown no response after 16 weeks of treatment. Some patients with initial partial response may subsequently improve with continued treatment beyond 16 weeks.

*Maintenance dosing (1 injection/dose) every 12 weeks following a starter dose at Week 0 and Week 4. If a dose is missed, the dose should be administered as soon as possible. Thereafter, dosing should be resumed at the regular scheduled time.
Risankizumab clearance and volume of distribution increase as body weight increases, which may result in reduced efficacy in subjects with high body weight (>130 kg). However, this observation is based on a limited number of subjects.
Week 16 (5-study pool) and long-term analysis (median duration of treatment 4.2 years [ranging from 3 days to 7.8 years], 20-study pool) represent different pools of patients with varying lengths of treatment exposure included in the long-term data set.15

AEs THROUGH WEEK 100 IN PsA DURING ADMNISTRATION OF SKYRIZI

No new safety signals observed

SKYRIZI dosed 150 mg at Week 0, Week 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter.
*Data includes all patients who received SKYRIZI 150 mg, including those who started on SKYRIZI 150 mg at randomization and who switched from placebo to SKYRIZI 150 mg after Week 24.
6 subjects with fatal treatment-emergent events. 2 deaths were related to COVID-19. 1 due to complications related to acute leukemia; 1 with anemia from diverticulosis died due multi-organ failure from septicemia as a complication from anastomosis surgery. 1 81-year-old patient with dementia was hospitalized for pneumonia, developed urosepsis, and complications resulted in death. 1 patient hospitalized for anxiety and depression developed septicemia, nausea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite 1 week after discharge and then died from from an unknown cause another week later. Additionally, 1 subject died on Day 363 (166 days after last dose) due to cardiorespiratory arrest.
1 death with the event of coronary artery plaque rupture. Subject had multiple risk factors such as obesity, long history of smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and a family history of cardiovascular disease.

            chronic or acute infection
            occur. Patients with infection
            should be closely monitored.

              Safety profile in PsA consistent with safety profile observed in PsO1

              *Integrated all-risankizumab safety data set from 20 completed or ongoing Phase 1–4 risankizumab clinical trials in plaque psoriasis (data cutoff March 25, 2022). Median duration of treatment was 4.2 years (ranging from 3 days to 7.8 years).

              Important contextual information1

              SKRYIZI is contraindicated in patients with clinically important active infections (e.g. active tuberculosis).

              Tuberculosis: Prior to initiating treatment with SKYRIZI, patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis (TB) infection. Patients receiving SKYRIZI should be monitored for signs and symptoms of active TB. Anti-TB therapy should be considered prior to initiating SKYRIZI in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed.

              Lab monitoring: SKYRIZI may increase the risk of infection. In patients with a chronic infection, a history of recurrent infection, or known risk factors for infection, SKYRIZI should be used with caution.

              Treatment with SKYRIZI should not be initiated in patients with any clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. Patients treated with SKYRIZI should be instructed to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops such an infection or is not responding to standard therapy for the infection, the patient should be closely monitored and SKYRIZI should not be administered until the infection resolves.

              ADVERSE EVENTS AT WEEK 16 as reported across four PsO Phase 3 trials in 2,109 patients1,18

              *UltIMMa: One non–treatment-emergent death of unknown cause on study Day 189 that occurred 161 days after the last dose of study drug.
              IMMvent: One patient with acute myocardial infarction on study Day 73 (event was not considered to be study drug related by investigator).
              IMMhance: One patient with stroke reported as ischemic stroke on study Day 95.
              §IMMhance: One patient with esophageal carcinoma reported on study Day 16, with patient experiencing 40 lbs weight loss six months prior to study participation; one patient with malignant melanoma in situ reported on study Day 102, study drug was not interrupted; one patient with a cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma reported on study Day 89, study drug not interrupted.

              A safety profile similar to ustekinumab in PsO through Week 52 during RCTs:18

              • UltIMMa-1—Any AE: SKYRIZI 61.3% (n=182/297) vs ustekinumab 66.7% (n=66/99); Serious AEs: SKYRIZI 5.4% (n=16/297) vs ustekinumab 4.0% (n=4/99); Infections: SKYRIZI 37.7% (n=112/297) vs ustekinumab 41.4% (n=41/99)
              • UltIMMa-2—Any AE: SKYRIZI 55.7% (n=162/291) vs ustekinumab 74.5% (n=70/94); Serious AEs: SKYRIZI 4.5% (n=13/291) vs ustekinumab 4.3% (n=4/94); Infections: SKYRIZI 34.7% (n=101/291) vs ustekinumab 48.9% (n=46/94)

              Through Week 52, the frequency of the adverse reactions was similar to the safety profile observed during the first 16 weeks of treatment. Through Week 52, the exposure-adjusted rates of serious adverse events per 100 subject-years were 9.4 for subjects treated with SKYRIZI and 10.9 for those treated with ustekinumab. For those subjects exposed to a maximum of 77 weeks of SKYRIZI, no new adverse reactions were identified compared to the first 16 weeks of treatment.1

              LONG-TERM PsO SAFETY PROFILE CONSISTENT UP TO 7.8 YEARS15,17*

              Adverse events of special interest in a pooled analysis from the first 16 weeks of treatment up to 7.8 years

              SKYRIZI warnings and precautions include infections, tuberculosis, and immunizations.1

              • Most commonly reported serious infections were sepsis and pneumonia.
              • Most common infectious AEs were nasopharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infection (overall infections over long term: 45.9 events per 100 patient-years).
              • One case of active TB; patient had latent TB diagnosed at screening and the nonserious event occurred 4 years after study initiation (rate over long term: <0.1 events per 100 patient-years).
              • No cases of systemic candidiasis in the long- or short-term analysis.  
              • Rate of MACE over the long term (0.5 E/100 PY) consistent with reference rates for MACE reported in PSOLAR.
              • No cases of anaphylaxis reported.
              • One case of IBD reported (worsening of ulcerative colitis in patient with history of the disease).
              • A total of 32 (30 treatment-emergent) deaths were reported. Using data from the WHO (2015) the SMR for treatment-emergent deaths was 0.40 (0.27-0.58).
              *Short-term safety through Week 16 was evaluated using data integrated from 5 Phase 2 and 3 trials in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis: Trial 1311.2, UltIMMa-1, UltIMMa-2, IMMhance, and IMMvent. Long-term (median duration of treatment was 4.2 years [ranging from 3 days to 7.8 years]) safety was evaluated in a larger all-risankizumab data set from 20 Phase 1–3 completed and ongoing trials as of March 25, 2022.
              Week 16 (5-study pool) and long-term (up to 7.8 years, 20-study pool) represent different pools of patients with varying lengths of treatment exposure included in the long-term set. Events counted in the Week 16 data are also included in the long-term data.
              Eczema (n=2), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (n=2), angioedema (n=1), drug hypersensitivity (n=1), and erythema multiforme (n=1).
