Long-term effectiveness and safety of risankizumab in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis with and without cardiometabolic comorbidities: a single-center retrospective study

<b>Results:</b> Our study included 333 patients treated with risankizumab for at least one year. One hundred and sixty-two patients had at least one CMD. After one year of treatment, a reduction of at least 90% and 100% in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score compared with baseline (PASI90 and PASI100, respectively) was observed in 80.3% and 63% of patients with CMDs compared to 83% and 63.2% of patients without CMDs. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two cohorts of patients in terms of effectiveness and rates of adverse events. No significant safety findings were observed throughout the study period. Our study supports data from clinical trials and real-world studies, even in patients with concomitant cardiometabolic comorbidities.
