P<.0001; 3.5 vs 25.2 based on VAS 0-100
During Taltz treatment, monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection and for onset or exacerbation of inflammatory bowel disease. During and after treatment with Taltz, monitor patients for active tuberculosis (TB) infection.
§There were 5 additional patients with adjudicated IBD that weren’t considered TEAEs. Total adjudicated IBD, n=31 patients (0.5%).6

Long-term safety data was evaluated using an integrated data set comprising 15 phase 1, 2, 3, and 4 studies in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.2

This analysis includes data from the beginning of the studies to the March 2020 cutoff for integrated safety data.2,3

IL-17A=interleukin-17A; PsO=psoriasis; ISR=injection site reaction; IBD=inflammatory bowel disease; TEAE=treatment-emergent adverse event.

SELECT IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Taltz is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to ixekizumab or to any of the excipients.
Warnings and precautions include infections, pre-treatment evaluation for tuberculosis, hypersensitivity, inflammatory bowel disease, and immunizations. The most common adverse reactions (≥1%) associated with Taltz treatment are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, and tinea infections.

FOR ADULTS WITH MODERATE TO SEVERE PLAQUE PSORIASIS

Adverse reactions that occurred in ≥1% of Taltz patients and more frequently than with placebo4

INTEGRATED SAFETY: UNCOVER registration trials

ADVERSE REACTIONS THROUGH WEEK 12


INFECTIONS THROUGH WEEK 12




US-approved Enbrel (etanercept).
Upper respiratory tract infections include nasopharyngitis and rhinovirus infection.

The most frequent injection site reactions were erythema and pain. Most injection site reactions were mild to moderate in severity and did not lead to discontinuation of Taltz.

ADDITIONAL ACTIVE COMPARATOR SAFETY INFORMATION FROM UNCOVER-2 AND -3
In the 2 clinical trials that included US-approved etanercept, an active comparator, the rate of serious adverse events during weeks 0 to 12 was 2% with Taltz and 0.7% with US-approved Enbrel, and the rate of discontinuation from adverse events was 2% with Taltz and 0.7% with US-approved Enbrel.

SAFETY DATA FROM SPIRIT-P1 AND -P2 TRIALS
Overall, patients with psoriatic arthritis had a safety profile consistent with that of patients with plaque psoriasis in UNCOVER-1, -2, and -3 trials, except for frequency of influenza (Taltz 1.3%, placebo 0.4%) and conjunctivitis (Taltz 1.3%, placebo 0%).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS:

Taltz is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to ixekizumab or to any of the excipients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Infections
Taltz may increase the risk of infection. In clinical trials of adult patients with plaque psoriasis, the Taltz group had a higher rate of infections than the placebo group (27% vs 23%). A similar increase in risk of infection was seen in placebo-controlled trials of adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis. Serious infections have occurred. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a serious infection develops, discontinue Taltz until the infection resolves.

Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis
Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with Taltz. Do not administer to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering Taltz. Closely monitor patients receiving Taltz for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.

Hypersensitivity
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria (each ≤ 0.1%), occurred in the Taltz group in clinical trials. Anaphylaxis, including cases leading to hospitalization, has been reported in post­-marketing use with Taltz. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue Taltz immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Patients treated with Taltz may be at an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease. In clinical trials, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including exacerbations, occurred at a greater frequency in the Taltz group than the placebo group. During Taltz treatment, monitor patients for onset or exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease and if IBD occurs, discontinue Taltz and initiate appropriate medical management.

Immunizations
Prior to initiating therapy with Taltz, consider completion of all age­-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Taltz.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Most common adverse reactions (≥1%) associated with Taltz treatment are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, and tinea infections. Overall, the safety profiles observed in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis were consistent with the safety profile in adult patients with plaque psoriasis, with the exception of influenza and conjunctivitis in psoriatic arthritis and conjunctivitis, influenza, and urticaria in pediatric psoriasis.
