Ixekizumab Versus Secukizumab in Over 70-year-old Patients with Psoriasis

Currently, the main systemic drug therapies in China include methotrexate (MTX), cyclosporine A, retinoids, and biologics. In recent years, monoclonal antibody biologics targeting cellular inflammatory factors have been used in the treatment of severe psoriasis, which is poorly treated with conventional systemic medications, severely affects the quality of life, and is accompanied by significant arthritic symptoms, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antagonists (etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab); IL-12/23 antagonists (ursodiol, ibuprofen); and IL-12/23 antagonists (ubuntu, ubiquinone). IL-12/23 antagonists (ustekinumab) and IL-17A antagonists (skutecimab). Among them, ezekizumab and stuccizumab are more widely used at present. However, the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ezekizumab and stuclizumab in the treatment of plaque psoriasis in elderly patients over 70 years of age are not known. Primary objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ezekizumab versus secukizumab in patients over 70 years of age with plaque psoriasis. Secondary objectives: 1. To assess the safety of ezekizumab versus secukizumab in the treatment of patients over 70 years of age with plaque psoriasis; 2. To evaluate the tolerability of ezekizumab versus secukizumab in patients over 70 years of age with plaque psoriasis
