Results from the Phase 3 CLEAR-1 trial of picankibart (IBI112), an anti–IL-23p19 monoclonal antibody, have been published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology.
The study achieved all primary and key secondary endpoints in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, with robust responses at Week 16 and durable efficacy through one year, alongside a favorable safety profile.
Picankibart is a monoclonal antibody developed by Innovent Biologics that targets the IL-23p19 subunit, inhibiting IL-23–mediated signaling. It is approved in China for adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy. Ongoing and completed studies across psoriasis and other autoimmune indications, including ulcerative colitis, continue to evaluate its broader clinical potential.
These findings add to the evolving landscape of IL-23–targeted therapies and highlight ongoing efforts to improve long-term treatment options for patients living with psoriasis.
