Clinical Report: Effective Management of Refractory Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Using Xeligekimab
Overview
This report details two cases of refractory generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) successfully treated with xeligekimab, an anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody. Both patients showed rapid clinical improvement within days of treatment, with one maintaining remission at the 3-month follow-up.
Background
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a severe skin disorder that can lead to significant morbidity and complications. Traditional systemic therapies often fail to provide adequate relief, highlighting the need for effective treatment options. The introduction of biologic agents, particularly those targeting the IL-17 pathway, represents a promising advancement in managing this challenging condition.
