Mechanism: IL-23p19 inhibitor
Expert: mAb targeting IL-23 p19 subunit. Same mechanism as risankizumab, different pharmacokinetics. Q8W maintenance. PASI 90 ~70-76% (slightly below risankizumab). Also approved for PsA and CD.
Everyday: Same approach as Skyrizi (blocking IL-23 to dissolve the inflammatory army) but a different antibody. Tremfya was first selective IL-23 blocker approved. Effective and durable, but trails Skyrizi slightly in efficacy and needs more frequent dosing (Q8W vs Q12W).
Targets: ["IL-23P19"]

Notes
First selective IL-23 (p19) inhibitor approved (2017). VOYAGE 1/2 pivotal trials. PASI 90 70-73% Wk16, 76% Wk48. PASI 100 34-37% Wk16. Candidiasis <1%. Differentiated by native Fc region that binds CD64 on IL-23-producing myeloid cells (dual binding mechanism — anchors to source cells). Shorter half-life (~17d) and lower bioavailability (~49%) than Skyrizi requires q8w vs q12w dosing. J&J CEO projects $10B+ peak (Stelara-size or bigger) driven by IBD expansion. Approved: PsO (2017), PsA (2020), UC (2024), CD (2025). US LOE ~2031.
