Oral options not keeping up with biologics
Author(s):
Researchers analyzed emerging oral drugs for psoriasis and concluded “… the development of new oral treatments for moderate-to-severe psoriasis has not kept pace with biologic therapies.
In a study published online February 3, 2015 in Expert Opinion on Emerging Drugs, researchers analyzed emerging oral drugs for psoriasis and concluded “… the development of new oral treatments for moderate-to-severe psoriasis has not kept pace with biologic therapies. There continues to be a need for safe and effective long-term oral therapies.”
Researchers reviewed oral treatments for moderate to severe psoriasis, including methotrexate, acitretin, cyclosporine and apremilast.
