AI Technical Summary
There is an unmet need for oral therapies with high efficacy and a good safety profile for treating generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) and erythrodermic psoriasis (EP), as current treatments are limited and there are no GPP-specific therapies approved in the USA or Europe.
A peptide inhibitor of the interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates is administered orally in doses ranging from 100-300 mg per day to treat GPP and EP, with specific dosing regimens and fasting requirements to enhance efficacy.
The peptide inhibitor effectively achieves at least 'minimally improved' to 'very much improved' ratings in Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale within 16-30 weeks, demonstrating significant improvement in psoriasis severity indices, body surface area involvement, and quality of life measures.
