Psoriasis is a chronic, complicated inflammatory skin disease. Genital, nail and scalp lesions with psoriasis are difficult to treat and can considerably impair patients' quality of life (QoL). Deucravacitinib, an oral selective tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, may represent a novel therapeutic option that could improve these challenging manifestations. To investigate this, we conducted a retrospective study between January 2023 and February 2024, involving 70 patients with psoriasis treated with deucravacitinib 6 mg orally once daily for 24 weeks. We evaluated how many patients achieved a static Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) of Genitalia (sPGA-GTM) score of clear/almost clear (0/1), PGA of Fingernail Psoriasis (PGA-F) 0/1, scalp-specific PGA (ss-PGA) 0/1, static PGA (sPGA) 0/1 and Dermatology Life Quality Index 0/1 at weeks 4, 16 and 24. We also assessed the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index scores. Deucravacitinib improved genital, nail and scalp lesions, as well as systemic eruption and QoL in patients with psoriasis. Deucravacitinib may be a promising treatment option for lesions in difficult-to-treat areas in patients with psoriasis.
银屑病是一种慢性、复杂的炎症性皮肤病。银屑病累及生殖器、指甲和头皮的病变难以治疗,会严重损害患者的生活质量(QoL)。口服选择性酪氨酸激酶2抑制剂氘可来昔替尼可能是一种能改善这些具有挑战性表现的新型治疗选择。为对此进行研究,我们在2023年1月至2024年2月期间开展了一项回顾性研究,纳入70例银屑病患者,他们每日口服一次6毫克氘可来昔替尼,持续24周。我们评估了在第4周、16周和24周时,有多少患者达到生殖器静态医师整体评估(sPGA-GTM)评分中皮损清除/几乎清除(0/1)、指甲银屑病的PGA(PGA-F)0/1、头皮特异性PGA(ss-PGA)0/1、静态PGA(sPGA)0/1以及皮肤病生活质量指数0/1。我们还评估了银屑病面积和严重程度指数评分。氘可来昔替尼改善了银屑病患者的生殖器、指甲和头皮病变,以及全身皮疹和生活质量。氘可来昔替尼可能是银屑病患者难治疗部位病变的一种有前景的治疗选择。
