The Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Hub is pleased to present a visual abstract summarizing data from the phase IV IMMpulse trial, which compared risankizumab to apremilast in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis up to 52 weeks.

Treatment with risankizumab resulted in more patients achieving a 90% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) at Week 16 compared with those treated with apremilast. In addition, patients who were PASI 75 non-responders and switched to risankizumab from apremilast at Week 16 achieved a greater rate of PASI 90 at Week 52 compared with patients who remained on apremilast.
