Amgen dump brodalumab after some patients had suicidal thoughts.

[jiml]

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.

We are always gentle with newcomers so   to the club/forum what a shame after a trial that psoriasis came back with a vengeance
I'm afraid I can't help with your question but thought I would just post and say hi
I'm sure someone will have some information to help

Enjoy your time with us and have a good look through the prescribed treatments
In the uk we don't have the same health system ours is free or we just pay a small amount for the drugs on prescription
