Safety of Brodalumab in Plaque Psoriasis: Integrated Pooled Data from Five Clinical Trials
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Brodalumab is approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Here, we assess the safety profile of brodalumab using pooled safety data from 5 phase II/III trials of brodalumab 140 mg or 210 mg. In total, 4,464 patients received brodalumab, representing 8,891.6 patient-years of exposure. During the placebo-controlled 12-week induction period, rates of serious adverse events per 100 patient-years were 10.8 and 9.6 (brodalumab 140 mg and 210 mg, respectively) vs 4.3 and 6.5 (ustekinumab and placebo, respectively); infections were the most frequent serious adverse event. Rates of serious adverse events during the comparator-controlled 52-week period were 14.4, 10.2 and 8.3 per 100 patient-years for brodalumab 210 mg, brodalumab 140 mg, and ustekinumab, respectively. Brodalumab was not associated with increased risks of malignancy, major adverse cardiac events, suicidal ideation and behaviour, or fatal events. Overall, brodalumab demonstrated an acceptable safety profile in short- and long-term treatment.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
