    On November 17, 2021, AbbVie announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved the second indication of the interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor Skyrizi (risankizumab), as a single agent or in combination with methamine Pterin (MTX) is used to treat adults with active psoriatic arthritis that are inadequate or intolerant to one or more anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) that alter the progression of the disease


    Psoriatic arthritis is a heterogeneous, systemic inflammatory disease with hallmark manifestations in multiple systems (including joints and skin)


    Skyrizi selectively blocks IL-23 by binding to the p19 subunit of IL-23


    This approval is based on positive data obtained from two randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trials
