Cumulative Benefit Over 52 Weeks With Deucravacitinib Versus Apremilast in Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis: POETYK PSO-1 Post Hoc Analysis

Deucravacitinib demonstrated superior efficacy to apremilast in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in the POETYK PSO-1 and PSO-2 clinical trials. In the study reported here, we aimed to determine the overall 52-week cumulative clinical benefit of treatment initiated with deucravacitinib versus apremilast and to compare the 52-week cumulative benefit of initiating and staying on deucravacitinib versus initiating apremilast and continuing or switching to deucravacitinib at week 24 of treatment. This post hoc analysis of POETYK PSO-1 data (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03624127) determined the cumulative clinical benefit of deucravacitinib 6 mg once daily and apremilast 30 mg twice daily in adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Patients treated with apremilast who did not achieve a 50
