Abstract

Major advances have broadened the therapeutic landscape of inflammatory skin diseases. In psoriasis, alongside the tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitor deucravacitinib, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first oral interleukin-23 (IL-23) receptor antagonist peptide, icotrokinra. In atopic dermatitis, new data have emerged on stapokibart, an interleukin-4 receptor alpha subunit (IL-4Rα) inhibitor introduced in China. In hidradenitis suppurativa, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) are also gaining increasing attention as adjunctive therapy.

Keywords: GLP‐1 receptor agonists; TYK2; atopic dermatitis; depression; hidradenitis suppurativa; icotrokinra; obesity; psoriasis; stapokibart.
