Abstract
BackgroundInterleukin-17 (IL-17) monoclonal antibody drugs have been increasingly significant in the treatment of psoriasis, but it is not clear whether the efficacy is equivalent across ethnicities.ObjectiveTo explore the differences of short-term efficacy of IL-17 inhibitors between Caucasians and Asians.MethodsThe pooled log risk ratio (logRR) between the groups was estimated. The meta-regression analysis on the logRR was performed, with the proportion of Caucasian patients as the covariate. The subgroup analysis was performed by specific IL-17 inhibitors.ResultsOf the 1,569 potentially relevant studies, sixteen randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. For the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI 75) response at week 12, the pooled logRR of the Asian group and the Caucasian group was 2.81 (95% CI: 2.27–3.35, p < 0.001) and 2.93 (95% CI: 2.71–3.16, p < 0.001), respectively, indicating no significant difference of efficacy between Asians and Caucasians. The meta-regression analysis did not show an association of the proportion of Caucasians with the effect size (β = 0.3203, p = 0.334). In the subgroup analysis, the comparison results of secukinumab were consistent with the main analysis.LimitationsOnly the short-term efficacy was explored. The data from Asian countries were limited.ConclusionsThe short-term efficacy of IL-17 inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis has no significant difference between Caucasians and Asians.Systematic Review RegistrationPROSPERO, identifier CRD42020201994, https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/.
