Level of evidence: B

Tildrakizumab, compared to placebo, seems to increase the proportion of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who reach PGA0-1 at 12-16 weeks of treatment. It may be effective in terms of PASI90 and the safety profile may be comparable to placebo at 16 weeks of treatment. The most common treatment-emergent adverse event is nasopharyngitis.

The evidence is based on 3 placebo controlled RCTs with short follow-up (12-16 weeks).
