Statement of Need

The interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23/axis is complex and not fully understood but is currently considered to be the main pathogenic pathway of psoriasis (PsO). Understanding the pathogenesis of PsO offers key insights into efficacy and safety profiles for emerging agents. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) target the IL-12/23 axis, but the need for parenteral administration, risk of immunogenicity, potential adverse events, and loss of efficacy merits continued discovery and clinical trials.

In this CME Outfitters Snack, expert faculty evaluate the role of TYK2 versus JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 signaling pathways in PsO as the differences in mechanisms of action offer new and effective options for patients with PsO.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

• Evaluate the role of TYK2 versus JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 signaling pathways in psoriasis (PsO) and their role as emerging treatment targets.

Financial Support

Supported through an educational grant from Bristol Myers Squibb

Target Audience

Dermatologists, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and rheumatologists
