but no proven clinical added value compared to COSENTYX and TALTZ.

 

Insufficient clinical benefit to justify reimbursement for other forms.

  • KYNTHEUM is a systemic treatment to be reserved for the treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults, for patients with severe, chronic plaque psoriasis, defined by:
