abstract

  • Three inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) currently are approved for the treatment of psoriasis: etanercept, infliximab, and adalimumab. The other two TNF inhibitors, golimumab and certolizumab pegol, have shown efficacy against plaque psoriasis in clinical trials of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). This article reviews the most recent evidence on the efficacy and safety of the TNF inhibitors in psoriasis, with special attention to preventing and managing immunogenicity. 2014 published by Frontline Medical Communications.
