CJM112

Four FDA-approved drugs-secukinumab (for ankylosing spondylitis, enthesitis-related arthritis, hidradenitis suppurativa, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, plaque psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis), ixekizumab (for ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, plaque psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis), brodalumab (for plaque psoriasis), and bimekizumab (for plaque psoriasis)-suppress the IL-17 pathway, with more in development, including netakimab, sonelokimab, izokibep, and CJM112. These agents and others are being studied across a spectrum of disorders. Understanding the complicated interplay between IL-17 and other immune mediators may yield new treatments for inflammatory/autoimmune conditions and malignancies.

The NMA showed the odds of achieving the clinical response were significantly superior with adalimumab (RR: 0.37, 95% CI = 0.06-0.63), adalimumab QW (RR: 0.63, 95% CI = 0.43-0.87), MAB1p (RR: 1.33, 95% CI = 0.03-3.12), secukinumab (RR: 0.25, 95% CI = 0.11-0.47) and secukinumabQ2W (RR: 0.24, 95% CI = 0.1-0.46) compared to placebo...Data for bimekizumab and CJM112 are promising. Infliximab has inconsistent clinical response, and more data are necessary to confirm this molecule as a potential third-line therapy in HS. The blockade of IL-23 and CD5a pathways is not relevant, or at least the current evidence is insufficient to recommend further investigation of guselkumab, risankizumab, and vilobelimab in phase III trials.

Indeed, adalimumab, an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α monoclonal antibody, is the only approved biologic agent for HS, obtaining a therapeutic response in only 50% of HS patients...Both bimekizumab and secukinumab, targeting IL-17 in different manners, have successfully completed phase III trials with promising results; the latter has recently been approved by EMA for the treatment of HS. The aim of this review is to summarize the current state of knowledge concerning the relevant role of IL-17 in HS pathogenesis, highlighting the key clinical evidence of anti-IL-17 agents in the treatment of this disease.
