Tackling Multiple Biologic Failure in Psoriasis: Research and Advocacy Perspectives
Year: 2024
Type: editorial
Abstract: Psoriasis is an immune-mediated skin disease commonly treated with biologic therapies. While there are currently 12 different biologics approved for psoriasis, there still exists a challenging subset of patients who have tried and failed biologics from multiple classes. In this commentary, we discuss the research and advocacy-based efforts by the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) and academic collaborators to understand and better support multiple biologic failure (MBF) psoriasis patients. The NPF MBF registry will gather clinical and demographic information on MBF patients to improve therapeutic outcomes, while legislative efforts through NPF Capitol Hill Day aim to advance federal laws in support of all psoriasis patients, with a recent focus on access to biologic therapy. Together, these 2 efforts will improve the care for all people living with psoriasis, including those experiencing MBF.
