Effect of secukinumab on the clinical activity and disease burden of nail psoriasis: 32‐week results from the randomized placebo‐controlled TRANSFIGURE trial

Secukinumab demonstrated significant and clinically meaningful efficacy and quality-of-life improvements for patients with nail psoriasis up to week 32. What's already known about this topic? Nail psoriasis is understudied and there is a lack of effective treatment options. Nail psoriasis is correlated with more severe psoriatic disease and the development of psoriatic arthritis. What does this study add? TRANSFIGURE is one of the few prospective placebo-controlled trials specifically in nail psoriasis and includes nail-specific quality-of-life measures such as Nail Assessment in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (NAPPA)-Quality of Life and NAPPA-Patient Benefit Index. In this trial, secukinumab demonstrates significant efficacy and quality-of-life improvements in this difficult-to-treat population.
