Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This is a multicenter Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Single-Dose, Placebo-Controlled Study to Demonstrate the Efficacy and Safety of tildrakizumab in Subjects with Active Psoriatic Arthritis I (INSPIRE 1)
Do I need to stop my current medications to join the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it does require prior exposure to anti-TNF agents for PsO or PsA treatment. Please consult with the study team for more details.

What data supports the idea that Tildrakizumab for Psoriatic Arthritis is an effective drug?

The available research shows that Tildrakizumab is primarily studied and approved for treating chronic plaque psoriasis, not specifically for Psoriatic Arthritis. The studies highlight its effectiveness in improving skin symptoms and quality of life for psoriasis patients. However, there is no specific data provided here about its effectiveness for Psoriatic Arthritis. Therefore, we cannot conclude its effectiveness for Psoriatic Arthritis based on the available information.

What safety data is available for Tildrakizumab?

Tildrakizumab, also known as Ilumya, is an anti-interleukin-23p19 monoclonal antibody approved for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Safety data from various studies indicate that it is generally well-tolerated. In phase 1 studies, most adverse events were mild, with the most common being upper respiratory tract infections and headaches. Phase 3 trials for psoriasis showed a low occurrence of adverse events, supporting its safety and tolerability. Additionally, a phase 2a study evaluated its safety in ankylosing spondylitis, further contributing to the safety profile of Tildrakizumab.

Is the drug Tildrakizumab a promising treatment for Psoriatic Arthritis?

Tildrakizumab is a promising drug because it has been shown to effectively treat moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, improving skin symptoms, sleep, and quality of life. It is a targeted therapy that works by blocking a specific part of the immune system, which can help reduce inflammation and symptoms.

Participant Groups

The trial tests Tildrakizumab (TILD), an investigational medication against a placebo injection to see if it's effective and safe for treating psoriatic arthritis. It's a Phase III study where participants are randomly assigned to receive either TILD or placebo without knowing which one they're getting.

Tildrakizumab: First Global Approval. [2020]Merck & Company Inc. have developed tildrakizumab (tildrakizumab-asmn; Ilumya™), a high-affinity, humanised IgG1 κ monoclonal antibody that specifically targets interleukin-23 p19, as a treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis. The drug was recently approved for marketing by the US FDA based on positive results from the phase III reSURFACE clinical trial programme in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of tildrakizumab leading to this first approval for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

Tildrakizumab for the treatment of psoriasis. [2020]Introduction: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disease amenable to targeted immunotherapy. Tildrakizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin-23 p19 and is approved for use in moderate to severe psoriasis. Areas covered: This article reviews the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and clinical efficacy of tildrakizumab, administered subcutaneously every 12 weeks, in treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. Expert commentary: In two phase 3 clinical trials, tildrakizumab showed a consistent low occurrence of adverse events, underlining safety and tolerance. The long half-life permits subcutaneous injections every 12 weeks. Seventy eight percent of patients achieved PASI 75 (a > 75% improvement from baseline PASI) at 28 weeks, 58% achieved PASI 90, 29% achieved PASI 100 and 70% achieved a Physician's Global Assessment score of clear or almost clear. A high proportion of patients maintained PASI response after 2 years of treatment. Tildrakizumab improved Dermatology Life Quality Index, psoriasis-related personal relationship problems and sexual difficulties. Baseline PASI score, PGA, and BMI were not predictive of PASI 90 response at week 12, however achievement of PASI 50 by week 8 was predictive of a PASI 90 response at week 12.
Pharmacokinetics of Tildrakizumab (MK-3222), an Anti-IL-23 Monoclonal Antibody, After Intravenous or Subcutaneous Administration in Healthy Subjects. [2019]Tildrakizumab, a high-affinity humanized IgG1k antibody that selectively binds interleukin (IL)-23 p19 subunit of cytokine IL-23 and neutralizes its function, is under investigation for treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis. The objective of this analysis was to assess the pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and safety/tolerability of single ascending doses of tildrakizumab after intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) dosing in healthy subjects. P05661 was a phase 1, single-dose, randomized, placebo-controlled study of tildrakizumab IV doses of 0.1, 0.5, 3 and 10 mg/kg, or placebo. P05776 was a phase 1, single-dose, randomized, placebo-controlled study of tildrakizumab SC doses of 50 or 200 mg, or placebo. After either single IV or SC dosing, tildrakizumab exhibited slow systemic clearance (CL), limited volume of distribution and a long t1/2 . Both the Cmax and the area under the curve (AUC) increased proportionally with doses from 0.1 to 10 mg/kg, or 50-200 mg. The bioavailability of SC dosing was ~80% (90% CI: 62-103%) for 50 mg and ~73% (90% CI: 46-115%) for 200 mg, respectively, versus 0.5 and 3 mg/kg IV. Across both studies, six of 43 evaluable subjects were positive for post-dose antidrug antibodies; two of these were positive for neutralizing antibodies. Most adverse events (AEs) were mild; the most frequent AEs included upper respiratory tract infection and headache. Single doses of tildrakizumab 0.1, 0.5, 3 and 10 mg/kg administered IV or single doses of 50 and 200 mg administered SC were safe and well tolerated in healthy adult subjects.
