The adult psoriasis market has become increasingly lucrative owing to the growing use of biologics in the moderate to severe population, which cannot be adequately controlled with conventional systemic and topical agents. The dominance of the TNF-alpha inhibitors, Amgen's PDE-4 inhibitor Otezla, and Janssen’s IL-12/23 inhibitor Stelara is now being challenged by the launch of highly effective IL-17 inhibitors—notably, Novartis’s Cosentyx and Eli Lilly’s Taltz—and IL-23 inhibitors—in particular, Janssen’s Tremfya and AbbVie's Skyrizi.
