Tildrakizumab Shows long-Term effectiveness in Psoriasis, Even in Difficult-to-Treat Areas
A real-world, retrospective study suggests that tildrakizumab is an effective long-term treatment option for psoriasis, particularly in areas that are typically difficult to treat. The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine in January 2026, analyzed data from multiple centers.
Researchers defined treatment effectiveness as complete skin clearance (PGA = 0) at weeks 16, 32, 52, and 104, focusing on patients with baseline involvement (PGA ≥ 2) in the affected areas. The study found that long-term outcomes were similar between patients receiving 100-mg and 200-mg doses of tildrakizumab. Notably, the 200-mg group had more complex disease profiles at the start of treatment.
The authors suggest that the comparable outcomes despite differing disease severity indicate the higher dose was effective in a more challenging patient population, rather than demonstrating a clear dose-response relationship. They also acknowledge that differences in prior biologic medication use between the groups – reflecting real-world prescribing patterns – should be considered when interpreting the results.Patients receiving the 200mg dose were more likely to have previously failed other biologic therapies.
The study’s limitations included its retrospective design, lack of randomization, and limited sample sizes in some subgroups. Though, the findings support the use of flexible tildrakizumab dosing for the long-term management of psoriasis, including in areas that are frequently enough resistant to treatment.
“These findings suggest that flexible tildrakizumab dosing can be effectively applied in real-life clinical practice, supporting its use in the long-term management of psoriasis involving difficult-to-treat areas,” the authors concluded.
