BACKGROUND: Trypanophobia or "needle phobia" represents a potential hindrance to the effective management of chronic diseases whenever an injectable therapy might be required, especially in case of frequent administrations. Psoriasis, a chronic dermatologic disease, can be effectively treated with biologic drugs administered subcutaneously. Thankfully, anti-IL-23 drugs require few administrations per year and are available in prefilled pens that hide the needle, thus representing a convenient option in patients with trypanophobia.
METHODS: An observational multicentric study was conducted on patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were treated with 75 mg × 2 risankizumab prefilled syringe therapy for more than 6 months and reported a loss of efficacy measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) from PASI 90 to PASI 75 attributed to a reduction of adherence due to trypanophobia. The patients were switched to 1 prefilled pen of risankizumab 150 mg and asked to fill out the Self-Injection Assessment Questionnaire (SIAQ) before and after the injection at week 0 and at the following administration after 12 weeks. Subjects scored each item of the SIAQ on a 5-point scale, scores were later transformed from 0 (worst experience) to 10 (best experience).
RESULTS: Twenty-two patients were enrolled. The mean SIAQ predose domain scores were 5.5 for feelings about injection, 6.2 for self-confidence, and 6.4 for satisfaction with self-injection. After dose scores were higher (> 8.5) for each of the six domains at Week 0 and even higher after 12 weeks (> 9.0).
CONCLUSIONS: User-friendly devices, such as prefilled pens, and a lower number of injections improved patient satisfaction in a group of patients with psoriasis on treatment with biologic drugs. We believe that treatment adherence could be positively influenced by such changes in the way of administration of a biologic treatment.
