Purpose: Since skin is highly accessible, clinical photography is a useful tool to visually substantiate the real- world effectiveness outcomes of biologic-treated adults with moderate-to-severe ...psoriasis (PsO). We report the effectiveness and patient- reported outcomes at Week 12 between anti-interleukin (IL)-17A biologics and other biologics as well as ixekizumab and guselkumab in patients with available clinical photography at baseline and Week 12. Patients and Methods: The Psoriasis Study of Health Outcomes (PSoHO) is an international, non-interventional, cohort study investigating the effectiveness of biologics in adults with moderate-to- severe psoriasis at Week 12. Outcomes included the proportion of patients who achieved 90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI90) and/or static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 0/1 (primary endpoint), PASI100, PASI90, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), and Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (secondary endpoints) at Week 12. Data are reported descriptively. Results: This analysis included 59 biologic-treated (23 anti-IL-17A; 36 other biologics) patients with available clinical photographs from the overall PSoHO study (n=1981). At baseline, the mean (standard deviation SD) age was 45.7 (11.1) years, 71.2% were male, 52.5% were bio-experienced and the median (interquartile range) duration of disease was 10.5 (12.4) years. Mean (SD) PASI was 16.9 (9.3) and sPGA was 3.5 (0.8). At Week 12, 65.2%/47.2% of the anti-IL- 17A/other biologics cohort achieved the primary outcome. Response rates for PASI90/100 were numerically higher with anti-IL-17A than with other biologics. Patients receiving anti-IL-17A had numerically better outcomes for DLQI 0/1 and Itch NRS than those receiving other biologics at Week 12. Clinical photographs confirmed skin improvements in ixekizumab- and guselkumab-treated patients. Conclusion: This subgroup analysis showed that anti-IL-17A biologics are effective at rapidly improving signs and symptoms of PsO and improving quality of life. Additionally, serial photography provided visual evidence of biologic treatment response over time. Keywords: psoriasis, ixekizumab, guselkumab, real-world, clinical photography
