Did you know an overactive immune system is like an overactive tennis ball machine? There are multiple molecules in the body that may play a role in causing inflammation. The IL-17A molecule is one of them.
Patient portrayal of how COSENTYX works.
†The relationship between how COSENTYX works in the body and how it affects your symptoms is unknown.
COSENTYX is the first FDA-approved biologic of its kind, an IL-17A blocker.
What is a biologic?
A biologic is a protein-based medication that is made from living sources and is taken by injection or infusion.
COSENTYX is designed to target and block IL-17A, which is believed to play a role in inflammation that causes psoriasis plaques and joint pain in people with psoriatic arthritis.
Why is IL-17A important?
With psoriasis, an overactive immune system overproduces certain molecules, one of which is IL-17A, which is believed to play a role in inflammation and causes painful, itchy plaques to appear on the skin.¶ In some people, this inflammation can also cause pain in the joints. COSENTYX is the first and most prescribed§ FDA-approved IL-17A blocker.

In clinical trials, 6 out of 10 people taking COSENTYX 300 mg were clear or almost clear at 12 weeks vs ~5% taking placebo. Approximately 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance compared to those not taking COSENTYX. Approximately 6 out of 10 people saw 90% skin clearance compared to those not taking COSENTYX. Many who saw results at 1 year maintained them at 5 years.‡
Among those moderate to severe plaque psoriasis patients who kept a symptom diary (39% of people), people taking COSENTYX reported an improvement in symptoms like pain, itching, and scaling at 12 weeks, compared with those not taking COSENTYX (placebo) in the studies.
