Watch TREMFYA® mechanism of action
IL=interleukin.
TREMFYA® is the only fully human anti–IL-23
- IL-23 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses1
- By blocking IL-23, TREMFYA® inhibits the release of important pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines
- In evaluated patients with plaque psoriasis, TREMFYA® reduced serum levels of IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22 relative to pretreatment levels based on exploratory analyses of the pharmacodynamic markers
- In evaluated subjects with PsA, serum levels of acute phase proteins C-reactive protein, serum amyloid A and IL-6, and Th17 effector cytokines IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-22 were elevated at baseline. Serum levels of these proteins measured at Week 4 and Week 24 were decreased compared to baseline following guselkumab treatment
- The clinical significance of these findings is not known
The mean half-life of guselkumab in patients with plaque psoriasis: ~15 days to 18 days1
