Spesolimab Treatment in GPP: Impact of IL-36RN Mutations and Concomitant Plaque Psoriasis.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol

Department of Dermatology, Guangzhou Dermatology Hospital, Guangzhou, 510095, People's Republic of China.

We present a case series involving five patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) who received a single intravenous dose of 900 mg spesolimab in our department from September 2023 to January 2024. Spesolimab was effective in three patients, regardless of their IL-36RN gene mutation status. Two patients with concomitant plaque psoriasis, despite initially poor responses to spesolimab, achieved resolution of pustules after switching their therapy to ixekizumab or secukinumab.

Background: Patients with newly diagnosed generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) lacking a history of psoriasis but with recent medication exposure may present with clinical features overlapping with acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP). Accurate differentiation is critical for treatment and prognosis.

Case Summary: We report two cases of drug-induced GPP initially with AGEP-like manifestations.

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a potentially life-threatening rare immune-mediated disease characterized by rapid onset of erythematous plaques, sterile pustules and systemic inflammation. Spesolimab, a monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-36 receptor, is a novel treatment for GPP. However, GPP's low incidence and limited evidence relating to treatment with spesolimab represents a challenge in determining its real-world efficacy.
