The drug was FDA-approved in November 2025 for MDD.PRLogRoohid Parast, J&J Scientist, Comments on New Psoriasis Biomarker StudyNew research published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine found that a routine blood test measuring the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) may help doctors track how well psoriasis patients respond to biologic medications, with the marker dropping significantly in patients on IL-17 and IL-23 inhibitors while climbing in those on cyclosporine and anti-TNF therapies. The 12-month study followed 210 adults across four treatment types, revealing that skin symptoms improved similarly across groups despite divergent inflammatory marker trends. Roohid Parast, a translational scientist at Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine, commented that the findings support a broader shift toward measuring underlying inflammatory burden rather than relying solely on skin clearance in treatment decisions.EIN PresswireANRF Announces Largest Scholar Cohort and Research Investment in Foundation HistoryANRF announced its 2026-2027 scholar cohort of 24 early-career investigators selected from 131 applications, the largest class in foundation history.
