Taltz beats Stelara in head to head

[Fred]

There is quite a difference between Stelara and Taltz.
Stelara binds on interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-23 and Taltz binds on IL-17A, just like Cosentyx.
As we already see the very positive results of Cosentyx, reported here on the forum, it does make sense that Taltz is also doing well.

IL-17A is a protein, that plays a role in the inflammation, as well as IL-12 and IL-23 are chemicals produced by cells that stimulate inflammation.
Moderating or inhibiting these substances will have effect on the expression of the psoriasis.

That is a good point as they do target different IL's, but I suppose they had to test it against Stelara as it is the best performer and it's competition "Coesentyx" is still a new kid on the block itself.
