Approximately 20% of patients with psoriasis are moderate to severe and require systemic treatment with cytokine-targeted biological agents
.
However, some patients either have no effect or develop anti-drug antibodies, which reduces the therapeutic effect
Cathepsin S is a cysteine protease that can activate the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-36γ and play a pathogenic role in psoriasis
.
RO5459072 is a selective, effective cathepsin S inhibitors for the treatment of psoriasis, including itself includes immune diseases developed
immunity
The median treatment time was 67 days
.
After 12 weeks of treatment, the average steady-state blood concentration (±SD) of RO5459072 was 1290 (±614) ng/mL
Infect
We believe that RO5459072 has no therapeutic effect in this trial, which indicates that there is redundancy in the IL-36-dependent pro-inflammatory pathway in psoriasis
.
Cathepsin S activity is significantly up-regulated in psoriatic skin
In conclusion, targeting cathepsin S-mediated IL-36 activation with a highly effective and selective cathepsin S antagonist has no therapeutic effect on psoriasis
.
The mechanism of action of RO5459072 may be too specific, allowing other proteases and/or cytokines to drive the psoriasis phenotype
