INTRODUCTION: Deucravacitinib, an oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, is approved in multiple countries for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy. The safety and efficacy of deucravacitinib in psoriasis has been demonstrated through 3 years in the phase 3 POETYK PSO-1, PSO-2, and long-term extension (LTE) trials enrolling adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. METHODS: To review the effect of deucravacitinib treatment on adverse events of interest (AEIs) over 3 years in POETYK PSO-1, PSO-2, and LTE, cumulative exposure-adjusted incidence rates (EAIRs) of AEIs were recorded through 3 years. RESULTS: AEIs and 3-year EAIRs of select infections included serious infections (2.5/100 person-years [PY]), COVID-19 (1.6/100 PY), and herpes zoster (0.6/100 PY). Excluding COVID-19, the serious infections EAIR was 0.9/100 PY. Major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) and venous thromboembolism EAIRs were 0.3/100 PY and 0.1/100 PY, respectively. The EAIRs for malignancies were 0.9/100 PY overall and 0.5/100 PY, excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Cutaneous events included acne (EAIR, 1.3/100 PY) and folliculitis (EAIR, 1.1/100 PY). Three-year cumulative EAIRs generally remained stable or decreased relative to 1-year rates. EAIRs of non-COVID-19 serious infections, malignancies excluding NMSC, and MACE through 3 years were consistent with rates for other antipsoriatic agents from clinical trials, disease registries, and real-world claims data. CONCLUSION: In adults with plaque psoriasis treated with deucravacitinib, the cumulative incidence of AEIs remained comparable or decreased over 3 years of follow-up and aligned with comparison data for other antipsoriatic therapies.
