Targeting Moderate to Severe Psoriasis: Novel Treatments on the Horizon

Video

Patients with psoriasis experience disruptions to their daily functioning, with higher disease severity associated with reduced quality of life. Despite many available options for managing moderate to severe psoriasis, the condition continues to be undertreated and patients’ expectations often remain unmet. Fortunately, novel small molecule agents targeting new pathways are showing promise in enhancing patient care, especially those focusing on the Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) signaling pathways. This includes JAK inhibitors and a recently approved tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor. Tune in to this on-demand webcast to get expert faculty insights on recent clinical trial evidence and therapeutic considerations for the expanding treatment landscape of moderate to severe psoriasis.
