Systemic Agents on the Horizon for Psoriasis

From Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, New York, New York.

Dr. George Han discusses new and upcoming systemic agents for the treatment of psoriasis from the resident's perspective, including novel biologics and small-molecule drugs. He explains how these new treatments work. Familiarity with these medications and their mechanisms of action will help dermatologists decide what the best treatment strategy is for each patient.
