Resumen

Existen numerosos estudios que demuestran que etanercept es un medicamento eficaz y seguro para el tratamiento de la psoriasis moderada a grave a corto plazo. Sin embargo, la psoriasis es una enfermedad con curso crónico o recurrente, asociada a artritis y comorbilidades que merman la salud y la calidad de vida de los pacientes, requiriendo a menudo tratamiento a largo plazo, ya sea de forma continua o intermitente. Los datos disponibles sobre el empleo de etanercept como tratamiento de la psoriasis a largo plazo, incluso en dosis altas, demuestran un buen perfil de eficacia y seguridad. La mitad de los pacientes obtienen una mejoría PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) 75 durante tratamientos prolongados hasta 96 meses. La respuesta PASI 75 es superior en pautas continuas que en pautas intermitentes (con pausas). La mayoría de los pacientes mantienen la respuesta a largo plazo, aunque en algunos se observa una disminución de la eficacia, como ocurre con otros inhibidores del factor de necrosis tumoral. La experiencia acumulada con etanercept en otras enfermedades inflamatorias crónicas también respalda este buen perfil de seguridad.

Abstract

There are many studies that have shown that etanercept is an effective and safe drug for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. However, psoriasis is a disease with a chronic or recurrent course associated to arthritis and comorbidities that diminish the patient's health and quality of life and that often requires either continuous or intermittent long-term treatment. The data available on the use of etanercept in the long-term treatment of psoriasis, even at high doses, have shown that it has a good efficacy and safety profile. Half of the patients obtained a 75% improvement on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-75) during prolonged treatments of up to 96 months. The PASI 75 response is higher in continuous regimes than in intermittent ones (with pauses). Most of the patients maintain the response at long-term, although a decrease in efficacy is observed in some of them, as occurs with other tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. Accumulated experience with etanercept in other chronic inflammatory diseases also supports this good safety profile.
