UNASSIGNED: This article reviews clinical trial data that assesses the safety, efficacy, and clinical application of spesolimab, an interleukin-36 (IL-36) blocker, for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP).
UNASSIGNED: A review of the literature was conducted using the search terms: \"spesolimab,\" \"BI 655130,\" and \"spevigo\" in MEDLINE (PubMed) and Clinicaltrials.gov from January 1, 1950 to October 31, 2023.
UNASSIGNED: Relevant articles in English relating to the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of spesolimab were included.
UNASSIGNED: In one phase 2 clinical trial evaluating single dose IV spesolimab for GPP flares at day 8, 54% of patients receiving spesolimab had a GPP physician global assessment (GPPGA) pustulation subscore of 0, and 43% had a GPPGA total score of 0 compared with 6% and 11% for the placebo group, respectively. Another phase 2 clinical trial assessing subcutaneous spesolimab found 23% of patients in low-dose, 29% in medium-dose, and 10% of high-dose spesolimab had flares by week 48 compared with 52% of the placebo group. Hazard ratios for time to GPP flare compared with placebo were 0.16 (P = 0.0005), 0.35 (P = 0.0057), and 0.47 (P = 0.027) for the spesolimab groups, respectively. Infection rates were similar across treatment and placebo groups, and severe adverse events such as drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptom (DRESS), cholelithiasis, and breast cancer occurred with spesolimab.
UNASSIGNED: Spesolimab is a first-in-class IL-36 monoclonal antibody receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of acute GPP flares. It is a safe and effective therapeutic agent in preventing future GPP flares, with no current comparator trials with other GPP agents.
UNASSIGNED: Spesolimab is a safe and effective treatment for acute GPP flares in adults. Future clinical trials can establish safety and efficacy compared with other agents.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) in pregnancy can lead to severe complications for both mother and fetus. The treatment of this disease is challenging, especially in recalcitrant and severe cases. Until present, there are no evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of GPP in pregnancy. Spesolimab, a human monoclonal antibody against the IL-36 receptor, has recently attracted attention as a new therapy for GPP flare. This biologic provides rapid and sustained control of symptoms of GPP flare, although its use in pregnant women has not been reported to date. Here, we report a pregnant woman with refractory GPP who did not respond well to systemic steroids. Administration of spesolimab resulted in complete control of the disease and the birth of a healthy baby. Our case demonstrates that IL-36RN inhibitors are a potentially effective and safe treatment option for GPP in pregnancy.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, and severe skin disorder characterized by the eruption of non-infectious pustules on an erythematous background often associated with systemic symptoms. It may appear in association with plaque psoriasis or occur in previously healthy individuals. It differs from psoriasis vulgaris in clinical presentation, immunopathogenesis, histology, and therapeutic strategies. Overexpression of interleukin 36 (IL-36) or a loss-of-function mutation of IL-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36RA) are thought to play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of this disease. There are currently no globally approved guidelines for the treatment of GPP, and the therapies used so far, with variable results, have given unsatisfactory results. Spesolimab, a selective humanized antibody against the IL-36 receptor that blocks its activation, is the first biologic drug approved in Europe in December 2022 for the treatment of GPP flares. It represents a promising therapy, demonstrating efficacy in reducing disease severity and improving patient outcomes. In our review, we have analyzed the latest advancements and findings regarding the efficacy and safety of spesolimab in the context of GPP management.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare chronic inflammatory pustular dermatosis that presents as painful erythema with sterile pustules on nonacral skin. No unified standard and guideline for the treatment of GPP has been established. Several biologics have been tried for GPP, with varying success. Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is a very rare disabling variant of pustular psoriasis characterized by sterile pustules on the fingers and toes, including the nail bed. Comparatively, treating ACH is highly challenging due to its commonly therapy-resistant disease course. The pathogenic role of IL-36 signaling axis has been currently identified in GPP development. Spesolimab, the first anti-interleukin-36 receptor biologic, has been approved for treating GPP flares and shown promising results. In view of a shared pathogenesis between GPP and ACH, specolimab may be an effective treatment for ACH. Currently, there is no case and clinical trial data exist on this condition. Therefore, this case was aim to describe real-world experience of spesolimab use in ACH coexisting with GPP. We report an Asian patient with a 16-year-history of GPP and ACH with marked pustulosis on the nail bed and onychodystrophy. He received conventional systemic regimen acitretin, cyclosporine and biologics adalimumab and secukinumab, but experienced relapse for skin lesions and refractory for nail lesions. He was then treated with a single dose of spesolimab in combination with secukinumab, which resulted in skin clearance and nearly complete resolution of nail lesions over a 32-week period. Our observation suggests that spesolimab should be considered for the treatment of ACH, especially in the patients with intractable nail lesions and concomitant GPP.

Generalized pustular psoriasis is defined as a primary, sterile, macroscopically visible pustular eruption on non-acral skin, which can occur with or without systemic inflammation and/or psoriasis vulgaris, and can either be relapsing or be persistent, according to the European Rare and Severe Psoriasis Expert Network. The treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis may be challenging. We describe a 48-year-old woman with a 15-year history of severe generalized pustular psoriasis and plaque psoriasis resistant to multiple courses of treatments with conventional and biological agents who had a rapid, complete and durable (up to 12 months) clinical remission with spesolimab, an anti-interleukin-36 receptor antagonist monoclonal antibody recently approved for the treatment of generalized pustular psoriasis flares.

The immunopathogenesis of HS is partially understood and exhibits features of an autoinflammatory disease; it is associated with the potential involvement of B cells and the contribution of Th1 or Th17 cell subsets. Recently, the pathogenic role of both innate immunity and IL-1 family cytokines in HS has been deeply investigated. Several agents targeting the IL-1 family pathway at different levels are currently available and under investigation for the treatment of HS. HS is still characterized by unmet clinical needs and represents an expanding field in the current scientific research. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the pathological dysregulation of IL-1 family members in HS and to provide an update on therapeutic strategies targeting IL-1 family cytokine signaling. Further clinical and preclinical data may likely lead to the enrichment of the therapeutic armamentarium of HS with IL-1 family cytokine antagonists.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, immune-mediated inflammatory disease with characteristic cutaneous and systemic manifestations. Mutations in the interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL36RN) gene have been implicated in its pathogenesis. Spesolimab is a novel systemic biologic therapy that selectively inhibits interleukin-36. It was recently approved by Health Canada and the US FDA for the treatment of GPP flares in adults. Results from phase 1 and 2 studies have been promising. Herein, we review the efficacy and safety of spesolimab for the treatment of GPP flares, as demonstrated in clinical trials.

Plaque psoriasis is an autoinflammatory and autoimmune skin disease, affecting 1-3% of the population worldwide. Previously, high levels of IL-36 family cytokines were found in psoriatic skin lesions, thereby contributing to keratinocyte hyperproliferation and infiltration of immune cells such as neutrophils. While treatment with anti-IL36 receptor (IL36R) antibodies was recently approved for generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), it remains unclear, if targeting the IL36R might also inhibit plaque psoriasis. Here we show that antibody-mediated inhibition of IL36R is sufficient to suppress imiquimod-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation and represses the disease\'s development in a model that depends on IL-17A overexpression in the skin. Importantly, treatment with anti-IL36R antibodies inhibited skin inflammation and attenuated psoriasis-associated, systemic inflammation. This is possibly due to a widespread effect of IL36R inhibition, which not only suppresses pro-inflammatory gene expression in keratinocytes, but also the activation of other immune cells such as T-cells or dendritic cells. In conclusion, we propose that inhibition of the IL-36 signaling pathway might constitute an attractive, alternative approach for treating IL-17A-driven psoriasis and psoriasis-linked comorbidities.
