Standout combination of complete skin clearance and favorable safety profile in a once daily pill could shift treatment paradigm

Nearly half of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) treated with investigational icotrokinra achieved completely clear skin (IGA 0) at Week 24 in Phase 3 ICONIC-LEAD

Topline results from Phase 3 ICONIC-ADVANCE 1&2 studies show icotrokinra achieved co-primary endpoints and showed superiority to deucravacitinib in moderate-to-severe plaque PsO

These results pave the way to initiate the first-ever head-to-head study seeking to demonstrate the superiority of a pill versus injectable biologic in moderate-to-severe plaque PsO.
