Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune skin disease that can affect children, adolescents, and adults. Although adult psoriasis and pediatric psoriasis are similar, effective management of pediatric psoriasis is more challenging owing to the limited number of treatments approved for children. Only four biologics—Amgen’s Enbrel, Janssen’s Stelara, Eli Lilly’s Taltz, and Novartis’s Cosentyx—are approved to treat pediatric and adolescent patients with psoriasis. Although topical corticosteroids continue to be the mainstay of pediatric treatment, this class is expected to face competition from a recently approved nonsteroidal topical cream, Arcutis Biotherapeutics’ Zoryve, in patients 12 years or older. Additionally, the use of biologics is gradually increasing in pediatric patients, especially in the later lines, owing to the more-frequent and severe adverse events associated with long-term use of topical corticosteroids in children. Nevertheless, significant unmet need remains for efficacious therapies with better safety profiles for this psoriasis subpopulation.
