Skyrizi (risankizumab)

Always when I see this intro’s, I get irritated..
The people who do this research are supposedly very well trained and highly educated.
They are working on a skin disease, they say over here. My feeling then says, that you will treat the skin….
But……. No… They are treating the immune system (Skyrizi is an IL-23 suppressor). So why are you treating the immune system, while you are talking about a skin disease… That is plain stupid.

Because if you treat the immune system, there must me something wrong in this immune system, right?
If there is something wrong with your eye, you treat the eye.
If there is something wrong with your leg, stretched or broken, then you treat the leg.
In both situations above, you might also give broader treatment to fight infection.
But in the case of psoriasis AND Psoriatic Arthritis, you only treat the immune system, as this really has the right effect.

So what they really are treating, is an Immune Mediated Inflamatory Disease that manifests on the skin AND  in (20-30-40%???) of the cases in the joints.

Stupid researchers.
