Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE:BMY) today announced results from POETYK PsA-1 (IM011-054) and POETYK PsA-2 (IM011-055), the pivotal Phase 3 trials evaluating the efficacy and safety of Sotyktu (deucravacitinib) in adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Both trials met their primary endpoint, with a significantly greater proportion of Sotyktu-treated patients achieving ACR20 response (at least a 20 percent improvement in signs and symptoms of disease) after 16 weeks of treatment compared with placebo.
Additionally, the POETYK PsA-1 and POETYK PsA-2 trials met important secondary endpoints across PsA disease activity at Week 16. The overall safety profile of Sotyktu through 16 weeks of treatment in the POETYK PsA-1 and POETYK PsA-2 trials was consistent with the established safety profile of Sotyktu observed in a Phase 2 PsA clinical trial and Phase 3 moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis clinical trials.
