Ilumya

Ilumya is the brand name for tildrakizumab-asmn, a humanized monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults. It is an interleukin-23 (IL-23) inhibitor that targets the p19 subunit of IL-23, a cytokine involved in inflammatory processes. By inhibiting IL-23, Ilumya helps reduce inflammation and the overproduction of skin cells associated with psoriasis, leading to clearer skin and improved symptoms.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Ilumya Work?

Tildrakizumab-asmn works by selectively binding to the p19 subunit of interleukin-23, blocking its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. This action inhibits the signaling pathway that leads to the activation of inflammatory responses and the proliferation of skin cells. By targeting IL-23, Ilumya reduces the activity of inflammatory cells and helps restore normal skin cell function, resulting in a reduction of psoriatic plaques.

Common Dosages

  • Initial dose: 100 mg administered subcutaneously at week 0 and week 4.
  • Maintenance dose: After the initial dosing period, the maintenance dose is 100 mg every 12 weeks.

Typical Dosing

  • For plaque psoriasis: Administer 100 mg subcutaneously at week 0, followed by another 100 mg at week 4. Continue with 100 mg every 12 weeks thereafter.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

  • Monitor for side effects: Common side effects may include injection site reactions, headache, and increased risk of infections. Report any severe or unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider.
