Efficacy and Safety of Tildrakizumab in Older Patients: Pooled Analyses of Two Randomized Phase III Clinical Trials (reSURFACE 1 and reSURFACE 2) Through 244 Weeks.

ABSTRACT: The evidence on treating older patients with psoriasis with modern biologics is scarce. This study compared the efficacy and safety of tildrakizumab among younger and older patients with psoriasis (< 65/≥ 65 years) in a post hoc analysis of 2 phase III trials (reSURFACE1/2, n = 1,862). Tildrakizumab 100 mg/200 mg was administered at weeks 0/4/every 12 weeks thereafter. At week 28, patients with ≥ 75% improvement in baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI75) in reSURFACE1 were re-randomized to the same tildrakizumab dose or placebo; in reSURFACE2, PASI75 responders to 200 mg were re-randomized to tildrakizumab 100 mg or 200 mg; PASI75 responders to 100 mg maintained their dose. At weeks 64/52 (reSURFACE1/2), PASI50 responders entered an extension period (weeks 256/244). Outcomes we
