In China, approximately 2.3 million people have psoriasis. Continuous treatment is recommended for moderate-to-severe This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of continuous versus interrupted ixekizumab (IXE) and retreatment with IXE after disease worsening in Chinese patients. this Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, patients were randomized or placebo at Week 0. At 12, responders (static Physician's Global Assessment [sPGA] score, 0 1 [0,1]) re-randomized (2:1) (IXE/IXE, treatment) (IXE/PBO, treatment). After re-randomization, IXE/PBO (relapse, sPGA ≥ 3) was switched every 4 weeks (IXE/PBO + IXEQ4W, retreatment). Efficacy assessed by evaluating response rates Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75/90/100, (0,1), Dermatology Life Quality (DLQI) mean PASI, Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores improvements special body areas.
