Efficacy
IXE-treated patients rapidly achieved and sustained improvements in scalp, nail, and palmoplantar psoriasis for up to 5 years (Figure 1, Figure 2). A large percentage of patients achieved complete clearance at year 5: observed (scalp, 82%; nail, 73%; palmoplantar, 96%) and mNRI (scalp, 77%; nail, 67%; palmoplantar, 85%) (Figure 1).
