Secukinumab: A Review in Moderate to Severe Pediatric Plaque Psoriasis.


ABSTRACT: Subcutaneous secukinumab (Cosentyx®) is a recombinant, fully human, immunoglobulin (Ig) G1κ monoclonal antibody targeted against interleukin (IL)-17A, a proinflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Secukinumab is approved in the EU and the USA for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in pediatric patients aged ≥ 6 years. In pivotal phase III trials in pediatric patients aged 6 to < 18 years, both low (75-150 mg) and high (75-300 mg) doses of secukinumab were significantly better than placebo and numerically better than etanercept at week 12 in terms of the proportion of patients achieving ≥ 75% improvement from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index and significantly better than placebo and etanercept in terms of the proportion of patients achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment score of 0 or 1. The clinical efficacy of secukinumab observed during the first 12 weeks of treatment was maintained over the longer term. Treatment with secukinumab improved health-related quality of life and was generally well tolerated. In conclusion, secukinumab represents a valuable new addition to the limited treatment options available for children and adolescents with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
