About ILUMYA(TM) (tildrakizumab-asmn)
ILUMYA(TM) (tildrakizumab-asmn) is a humanized lgG1/k monoclonal antibody designed to selectively bind to the p19 subunit of interleukin-23 (IL-23) and inhibit its interaction with the IL-23 receptor, leading to inhibition of the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

ILUMYA(TM) is indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval is based on data from the pivotal Phase-3 reSURFACE clinical development program, which consisted of two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of more than 1,800 patients across over 200 clinical trial sites.

ILUMYA(TM) has also been approved in Australia, and in Europe under the brand name ILUMETRI(TM).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ILUMYA(TM) is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to tildrakizumab or to any of the excipients.

Cases of angioedema and urticaria occurred in ILUMYA(TM)-treated subjects in clinical trials. If a serious allergic reaction occurs, discontinue ILUMYA(TM) immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.

ILUMYA(TM) may increase the risk of infection. Treatment with ILUMYA(TM) should not be initiated in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to prescribing ILUMYA(TM) in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients receiving ILUMYA(TM) to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection, or is not responding to standard therapy, closely monitor and consider discontinuation of ILUMYA(TM) until the infection resolves.

Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with ILUMYA(TM). Do not administer ILUMYA(TM) to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering ILUMYA(TM). Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of ILUMYA(TM) in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Patients receiving ILUMYA(TM) should be monitored closely for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.

Prior to initiating therapy with ILUMYA(TM), consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Patients treated with ILUMYA(TM) should not receive live vaccines.

The most common (>=1%) adverse reactions associated with ILUMYA(TM) treatment that were more frequent than in the placebo group are upper respiratory infections, injection-site reactions, and diarrhea.

About Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic immune disease that appears on the skin, affecting approximately 8 million Americans(2) and 125 million people worldwide.(3) The non-contagious disorder speeds the growth cycle of skin cells(2) and results in thick scaly areas of skin.(4) The most common form, affecting about 80 to 90 percent of people with psoriasis, is called plaque psoriasis.(5) It appears as red, raised areas of skin covered with flaky white scales which may be itchy and painful and can crack and bleed.(5 )Twenty percent of people with plaque psoriasis are considered moderate-to-severe(5), and many continue to struggle with the ongoing, persistent nature of this chronic disease.
