Switching from a biological therapy to another biologic agent in psoriatic patients: the experience of PsOMarche group

Switching is a "hot" topic and the main reasons for switching prior biologic agent are for a primary failure, a secondary failure or drug intolerance, patient's dissatisfaction, physician decision. The aim of the study was to assess the optimization of the switching from a biologic agent to another.

The experience of PsOMarche group have shown that the switching to a biologic agent to another is a valuable treatment choice in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis experiencing a treatment failure with one biologic therapy, leading to a good improvement in skin disease and in patient's quality of life.
