Level of evidence: B

Risankizumab treatment when compared to placebo, increases the proportion of patients moderate to severe plaque psoriasis to achieve a clinically meaningful improvement at 16 weeks of treatment. The safety profile of risankizumab seems to be equal to placebo after 16 weeks treatment.

The evidence is based on 3 phase 3 RCT’s.
