Abstract
Several therapeutic antibodies are available for the treatment of chronic plaque type psoriasis. Ustekinumab (a monoclonal IL12/23 antagonist) is one of these antibodies (1) and it is currently being investigated for other indications. For adalimumab (a monoclonal tumour necrosis factor α antagonist) a positive correlation has been observed between adalimumab trough levels and clinical efficacy, both showing a negative correlation with anti-drug antibodies (ADA) to adalimumab (present in 49% of patients) (2). In rheumatoid arthritis, a therapeutic range for adalimumab trough level has been established, which can eventually lead to a more personalised way of administering adalimumab (3).
