Tildrakizumab : the value of a personalized and flexible approach for treating moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in patients with high body weight or high disease burden

INTRODUCTION: The introduction of biologics for the treatment of plaque psoriasis is one of the major therapeutic advances of the last decades in dermatology. The efficacy of this class of drugs can be influenced by multiple factors including obesity, being overweight, prior treatment failures, and disease severity.

AREAS COVERED: Most of the currently available approved biologics are limited by their lack of dosing flexibility for adapting the therapy to the complexity of real-world patients with psoriasis. Among the class of anti-interleukin-23, tildrakizumab allows a greater dosing flexibility, increasing clinical benefits of patients with high burden of the disease or body weight >90 kg.

EXPERT OPINION: This meta-opinion discusses the clinical data that were foundational for tildrakizumab dosage flexibility, elaborates on the definition of high burden of disease specifically linked to tildrakizumab dosage, and profiles the ideal patient that could benefit from treatment with the higher approved tildrakizumab dosage of 200 mg.
