  • Clinical trials
    • The EFFISAYIL 1 trial was a double-blind, randomised, multicentre trial comparing spesolimab with placebo.

Adults with generalised pustular psoriasis experiencing an acute flare-up

  • For adult patients experiencing an acute flare-up of generalised pustular psoriasis, the additional benefit is not proven.
  • In summary, due to the short study duration of 8 days in this case and the inadequate treatment for flare-up control, the EFFISAYIL 1 study is not suitable for to draw any conclusions regarding the additional benefit of spesolimab for the treatment of flare-ups in adult patients with generalised pustular psoriasis.
