• Introduction: Secukinumab is a fully human monoclonal IgG1/κ antibody against interleukin-17A (IL-17A), a proinflammatory cytokine implicated in various chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disorders, such as plaque psoriasis. By blocking the actions of IL-17A, secukinumab works to inhibit the pro-inflammatory pathways that drive immune-mediated inflammatory disorders. Following its first global approval in Japan in December 2014, secukinumab was approved by the European Commission on January 15, 2015, and by the FDA a few days after (January 21, 2015). It is currently approved to treat a number of chronic inflammatory conditions, such as plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa.

Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmacodynamics: Secukinumab works to ameliorate inflammation in chronic inflammatory disorders by attenuating the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Total serum IL-17A levels, representing free IL-17A and secukinumab-IL-17A complex, were increased to a plateau during drug treatment, then gradually decreased at the end of the treatment as the secukinumab-IL-17A complex was cleared from the body. In patients with plaque psoriasis, secukinumab reduced erythema, induration, and desquamation in plaque psoriasis lesions. Secukinumab also reduced acanthosis, parakeratosis, keratinocyte proliferation, and decrease in keratinocyte markers-all clinical manifestations of psoriasis. As the formation of CYP450 enzymes can be altered by increased levels of certain cytokines (e.g., IL-1, IL-6, IL-10, TNFα, IFN) during chronic inflammation, secukinumab can potentially alter the concentrations of CYP substrate drugs with a narrow therapeutic index.
