Exploring the Chronic Nature of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Podcast
2024
Overview
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by persistent symptoms and sudden flares of painful, sterile pustules, and may be accompanied by systemic inflammation. Ongoing symptoms of GPP can have a serious impact on patient quality of life, morbidity, and mortality, and severe flares may be life-threatening if left untreated. Guidelines have been developed for the treatment of GPP flares; however, health care professionals and patients are lacking guidance on the management of long-term, persistent symptoms of GPP. Spesolimab is the only FDA-approved treatment for GPP and is approved for use in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years or older and weighing at least 40 kg. Spesolimab recently gained FDA approval as a subcutaneous injection to treat GPP when patients are not experiencing a flare. In this podcast episode, we discuss what is known about the chronic disease burden of GPP and how persistent symptoms affect quality of life when patients are not experiencing a flare. We address the need for treatment guidelines for chronic GPP and discuss the results of the EFFISAYIL
2 clinical trial, which led to the approval of the subcutaneous formulation of spesolimab to treat GPP when patients are not experiencing a flare. Finally, we discuss what can be done to improve the treatment of patients with chronic GPP, both while experiencing a flare, and while living with persistent symptoms.
