Effect of tildrakizumab (MK‐3222), a high affinity, selective anti‐IL23p19 monoclonal antibody, on cytochrome P450 metabolism in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis

Abstract

In subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis, tildrakizumab 200 mg did not have a discernible effect on CYP metabolism. The potential for clinically significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs) with tildrakizumab in patients with psoriasis is low. The difference in the occurrence of DDIs seen with anti-inflammatory agents in rheumatoid arthritis patients compared with psoriasis patients may be due to the much greater extent of systemic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis as compared to psoriasis.
