Combination treatment with monoclonal antibodies: Secukinumab, benralizumab and dupilumab for the combined management of psoriasis and severe asthma

Abstract

Biological disease-modifying agents have increasingly become available for the effective treatment of both cutaneous and non-cutaneous inflammatory conditions. We report a case of a woman treated successfully for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with the IL-17 inhibitor secukinumab whilst simultaneously being treated for severe asthma and nasal polyps, initially with the IL-5 inhibitor benralizumab, followed by dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the IL-4 receptor alpha subunit which blocks signalling from both IL-4 and IL-13.
