    On October 15, 2021, AbbVie announced that the European Medicines Agency (EMA) Committee for Medicines for Human Use (CHMP) recommended to approve risankizumab (trade name Skyrizi) as a single drug or in combination with methotrexate (MTX).


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


    Risankizumab is an interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor that selectively blocks IL-23 by binding to its p19 subunit


    This positive opinion of CHMP is supported by two pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials


    In terms of safety, the most common adverse reactions associated with risankizumab are upper respiratory tract infections, headaches, fatigue, injection site reactions and ringworm infections
