Psoriasis | Unmet Need | US/EU | 2017
IL -17 inhibitors have established a high standard for efficacy in moderate to severe psoriasis, placing pressure on current therapies that are less efficacious and a great number of investigational therapies that are still in the pipeline. While dermatologists are becoming more comfortable prescribing an IL -17 inhibitor before TNF inhibitors, Humira, a TNF inhibitor, remains the most prescribed therapy in this highly competitive market.
