Bristol Myers Squibb Sotyktu long term data demonstrate durable efficacy, consistent safety for up to 3 years in moderate-to-severe Plaque Psoriasis

These data (oral presentation #FC02.7) and 49 additional abstracts demonstrating Bristol Myers Squibb’s ongoing commitment to dermatology research are being presented at the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Congress in Berlin, Germany taking place October 11-14, 2023.

“These new, positive, three-year results reinforce the long-term efficacy and well-established safety profile of once-daily Sotyktu, the first and only TYK2 inhibitor available, and add to our confidence in its role as an oral treatment of choice for adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis,” said April Armstrong, MD, MPH, clinical investigator in the POETYK PSO clinical trial program and professor and chief of dermatology at the University of California, Los Angeles. “For my patients, more days of relief from this chronic disease mean that they can focus on other aspects of their lives, and these POETYK PSO long-term data add to the evidence that we have the ability to offer a new standard of care to patients seeking an oral treatment option.”

The safety analysis assessed 1,519 patients who received at least one dose of Sotyktu across POETYK PSO-1, POETYK PSO-2 and POETYK PSO-LTE. The efficacy analysis assessed 513 patients who received continuous Sotyktu treatment from Day 1 in the pivotal POETYK PSO-1 and POETYK PSO-2 trials and transitioned to the LTE trial. Cumulative exposure from parent trial randomization was 3,294 patient-years (PYs) for the safety analyses.

Clinical efficacy outcomes were maintained in patients who were continuously treated with Sotyktu from baseline through Week 148, with sustained response rates for PASI 75 (Week 16, 61.1%; Week 52, 72.6%; Week 148, 73.2%), PASI 90 (Week 16, 35.2%; Week 52, 45.6%; Week 148, 48.1%) and sPGA 0/1 (Week 16, 57.5%; Week 52, 58.1%; Week 148, 54.1%).

At three years, cumulative exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs)/100 PYs were similar or decreased compared with rates observed at two years, respectively, for AEs (144.8, 154.4), serious AEs (5.5, 6.1), discontinuation due to AEs (2.4, 2.8), herpes zoster (0.6, 0.7), malignancies (0.9, 0.9), major adverse cardiovascular events (0.3, 0.4), venous thromboembolism (0.1, 0.1) and deaths (0.3, 0.4). EAIRs/100 PYs were calculated as the number of patients with an AE over the total exposure time for all patients at risk (time to an initial AE occurrence for patients with AE and time of total exposure for patients without an AE).

“As the leader in TYK2 innovation, Bristol Myers Squibb continues to advance our long-term understanding of our first-in-class, oral Sotyktu treatment for plaque psoriasis and explore its full potential across serious immune-mediated diseases,” said Roland Chen, MD, senior vice president and head, Immunology, Cardiovascular and Neuroscience Development, Bristol Myers Squibb. “These new data validate the potential of Sotyktu to provide long-term, clinically relevant improvement for individuals living with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.”
