This report presents details on a 45-year-old male Japanese patient with chronic and refractory anterior uveitis associated with psoriasis vulgaris who was administered certolizumab pegol (CZP), which is an anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) monoclonal antibody. Although CZP has only been formally approved for rheumatoid arthritis treatment in Japan, a clinical trial allowed us to assess CZP effectiveness in this patient. The grade 3+ anterior chamber inflammation (for both the cells and flare) observed at baseline improved to grade 0 at 3 months post-treatment. Dermatologically, the psoriasis area severity index (PASI) score was 25.4, while the body surface area (BSA) was 88% at baseline. At 3 months after treatment, the scores improved to 2.8 for PASI and less than 1% for BSA. After the treatment, remission has lasted for at least 9 months. No adverse events were seen during the CZP treatment. These findings suggest that CZP could be an effective therapeutic alternative in some refractory anterior uveitis patients with psoriasis vulgaris.
本报告详细介绍了一名45岁的日本男性患者,该患者患有与寻常型银屑病相关的慢性难治性前葡萄膜炎,接受了赛妥珠单抗(CZP)治疗,这是一种抗肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)单克隆抗体。尽管在日本CZP仅被正式批准用于治疗类风湿性关节炎,但一项临床试验使我们能够评估CZP对该患者的有效性。基线时观察到的3级及以上前房炎症(细胞和房水闪辉)在治疗后3个月改善至0级。在皮肤病学方面,基线时银屑病面积严重程度指数(PASI)评分为25.4,而体表面积(BSA)为88%。治疗后3个月,PASI评分改善至2.8,BSA降至1%以下。治疗后,缓解期至少持续了9个月。在CZP治疗期间未观察到不良事件。这些发现表明,对于一些患有寻常型银屑病的难治性前葡萄膜炎患者,CZP可能是一种有效的治疗选择。
