Professor Luigi Naldi and Dr Esteban Daudén discuss the role of real-world evidence in the development of treatments for psoriasis. What is the value of this frequently overlooked source of information and how can it be used to complement data collected in clinical trials?
Real-World Evidence Studies: Expectation vs. Reality – Professor Luigi Naldi (Italy)
Is real-world evidence better than clinical trial data? Find out what Professor Luigi Naldi has to say in the video below.
The well-documented efficacy of biologic therapies has made them an increasingly popular choice for the treatment of psoriasis since the earliest agent was approved in 2003.
Since then, a range of different biologics targeting various cytokines involved in the development and maintenance of psoriasis have become available, but their introduction has brought new challenges. In the following videos Professor Diamant Tha, Professor Stefano Piaserico and Professor Ulrich Mrowietz reflect on what can be done to overcome these challenges and maximise the potential of these game-changing drugs.
In the “age of biologics”, is there still a place for non-biologic systemic therapies? Professor Wolf-Henning Boehncke and Dr Deepak Balak discuss the appropriate use of conventional treatments for patients with psoriasis, particularly those presenting with comorbidities, as well as information on their long-term safety and efficacy.
Managing psoriasis patients with non-biologic systemic therapies – Professor Wolf-Henning Boehncke (Switzerland)
The efficacy of biologics in the treatment of psoriasis is well-documented yet use of conventional treatments remains common in clinical practice, but why is this the case?
Severity definitions in psoriasis drive the clinical decision-making process but lack consistency across the field. Professor Peter van de Kerkhof, Professor Ulrich Mrowietz and Professor Luigi Naldi discuss the importance of establishing internationally agreed psoriasis severity definitions, and what is being done to ensure that this is achieved in the future.

Find out how the latest consensus statement from the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) addresses the major limitations associated with current psoriasis scoring systems.
Optimisation of psoriasis treatment strategies requires careful consideration of a number of patient specific factors, from co-morbidities to what really matters to the patient. Dr Esteban Daudén and Professor Matthias delve deep into how building a comprehensive patient profile can help inform treatment decisions and ultimately lead to improved patient outcomes. Meanwhile, Professor Wolf-Henning Boehncke conducts a workshop that puts this principle into practice.
Psoriasis – it is not just about the skin – Dr Esteban Daudén (Spain)
Does early management of psoriasis and its co-morbidities improve the outcome of the disease?
