Background: Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a chronic inflammatory disease with an unpredictable disease course. Long-term treatment goals include sustained resolution of skin symptoms, prevention of new flares, and improvement in quality of life (QoL).
Objective: To compare the effect of the interleukin-36 receptor monoclonal antibody spesolimab 600 mg subcutaneous (SC) loading dose (LD) followed by 300 mg SC every 4 weeks (q4w) versus placebo on skin symptoms and QoL burden in patients with GPP.
Methods: A post hoc analysis of the EFFISAYIL 2 trial (NCT04399837) was conducted to assess the proportion of patients with sustained improvement of skin symptoms (GPP Physician Global Assessment total score, 0 or 1) and QoL burden (Dermatology Life Quality Index score, 0 or 1) at all visits up to week 48.
Results: Among the patients who received spesolimab 600 mg SC LD followed by 300 mg SC q4w, 63.3% had sustained improvement of skin symptoms (vs 29.0%; placebo), and 24.1% had sustained improvement of QoL burden (vs 3.2%; placebo).
Limitations: Retrospective, descriptive, post hoc analysis.
Conclusion: Spesolimab 600 mg SC LD followed by 300 mg SC q4w provides sustained improvement of skin symptoms and QoL burden in a substantially higher proportion of patients with GPP versus placebo.

Background: Current treatments for primary axillary hyperhidrosis are insufficient for some patients. Sofpironium topical gel is a retrometabolically-designed topical anticholinergic with rapid metabolism, which is associated with reduced side effects and targeted efficacy.
Objective: To assess efficacy and safety of sofpironium topical gel for primary axillary hyperhidrosis.
Methods: Cardigan I and Cardigan II were double-blind, randomized, controlled pivotal phase 3 studies of sofpironium topical gel, 12.45%, versus vehicle gel (1:1 randomization) for daily application to the axillae for 6 weeks.
Results: The combined Phase 3 studies included 353 subjects in the treatment groups and 348 subjects in the control groups. For the co-primary endpoint of ≥2-point improvement from baseline to end of treatment on Hyperhidrosis Disease Severity Measure-Axillary-7, pooled analyses showed significantly better results for treatment versus control (p<0.0001). For the pooled co-primary endpoint of gravimetric sweat production at treatment end, the treatment group had greater reduction in sweat production (p=0.0002). Secondary endpoints also showed a statistically significant benefit for sofpironium topical gel versus control. Treatment was well-tolerated.
Limitations: Short treatment and follow-up periods.
Conclusion: Sofpironium topical gel, 12.45%, applied topically once daily before bedtime is effective and well-tolerated for treatment of primary axillary hyperhidrosis in patients ≥9 years old.
