Join Audrey Gibson, PA-C, from the Arthritis Center of North Georgia, as she explores the latest clinical comparisons between IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors in managing moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
The ECLIPSE trial, published in The Lancet, compared Guselkumab (IL-23 inhibitor) vs. Secukinumab (IL-17 inhibitor) over 48 weeks. Guselkumab showed superior long-term efficacy, with 84% of patients achieving PASI 90 (90% skin clearance) compared to 70% with Secukinumab, both with similar safety profiles.
The EXCEED trial compared Ixekizumab (IL-17) and Guselkumab (IL-23) over 24 weeks. Ixekizumab provided a faster onset of symptom relief, particularly in nail psoriasis, while Guselkumab delivered sustained disease control. In PsA patients, both drugs showed similar joint symptom improvement, reinforcing their viability in treatment.
For rapid symptom relief, IL-17 inhibitors (Ixekizumab, Secukinumab) may be preferable. For long-term stability, IL-23 inhibitors (Guselkumab) stand out. The choice depends on patient needs, disease progression, and treatment goals.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
