FDA OKs 2nd Indication for AbbVie SKYRIZI in Psoriatic Arthritis

 SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) met the primary endpoint of ACR20 at week 24 in two pivotal studies, demonstrating significant improvement in joint symptoms, including swollen, tender and painful joints, compared to placebo[1,2,3]

- SKYRIZI also showed improvement in dactylitis and enthesitis - inflammation of fingers, toes and sites at which tendons or ligaments attach to bone[1,2,3]

- SKYRIZI is now the only IL-23 inhibitor approved for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis that can be administered with a single injection four times a year (after two starter doses at weeks 0 and 4)[1]
