The results showed that the expression of IL-23p19 mRNA and p40 (IL-12/IL-23) mRNA were higher in psoriatic lesion than those of non-lesional skin and normal skin. The levels of IL-23p19 mRNA and p40 (IL-12/IL-23) mRNA were higher in psoriatic non-lesional skin than normal skin. However, no significant difference was found in the level of IL-12p35 mRNA among the psoriatic lesional skin, nonesional skin and normal skin. It was suggested that IL-23 might be more important in the pathogenesis of psoriasis than IL- 12.展开更多

This phase I, first-in-human, non-randomized, open-label study evaluated the short-term safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical response of single, ascending, intravenous (IV) doses of anti-IL-12p40 in subjects with moderate-to-severe psoriasis vulgaris. Eighteen subjects with at least 3%body surface area involvement were enrolled infour dose groups (0.1, 0.3, 1.0, and 5.0 mg per kg). Safety, pharmacokinetics, and clinical response (e.g., Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)) were monitored at baseline and at specific time points over a 16-wk follow-up period. Anti-IL-12p40 was generally well tolerated. No related serious adverse events or infusion reactions were reported, and most adverse events were mild. IV anti-IL-12p40 yielded linear pharmacokinetics, with a mean terminal half-life of approximately 24 d. Dose-dependent associations with both the rate and extent of clinical response were observed across the four dose groups. Twelve of 18 subjects (67%) achieved at least a 75%improvement in PASI between 8 and 16 wk after study agent administration. Significant and sustained concentration-dependent improvements in psoriatic lesions were observed in most subjects.展开更多
