Amgen dump brodalumab after some patients had suicidal thoughts.

[Fred]

this is my 1st post...so be gentle with me.
as on the stage 3 Brodalumab trial in canada. Worked amazingly well - best ever treatment for me yet-totally cleared my skin and had no more PSA symptoms. Only had negative thoughts after they cancelled the study and about 6 weeks later I was fully inflamed again and quite swollen - the withdrawal was painful to say the least. After some months of total body coverage, swelling, night swearts, weight loss, etc... am now back on track with Enbrel's bridging program (3 months of free supply) also taking Leflunomide. Legs not clearing - but feel much bnetter.
Curious about anyone's experience with Lefulunomide as a solo treatmen.
Plus just learned about Cosentyx. Wondering if any of you are aware of upcoming trials for this or other IL17 inhibitors that might work for me...
With no insurance - the cost of these amazing drugs is a real issue and looking to keep both my health and wealth in balance.

Thank you for your input on Brodalumab.

Re your questions about Leflunomide it would be better to start a new thread in Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis as it will get noticed better.

There are a few members here on Cosentyx I thought all trial were done now but again it could be worth you asking in a new thread.

Don't worry, we encourage members to open new threads as it helps keep the information relevant.

Welcome to Psoriasis Club by the way, you will find we are all gentle.

Regards.

Fred.
