J&J and Protagonist’s Icotyde improves psoriatic arthritis but AbbVie’s Skyrizi likely to reign

J&J and Protagonist's Icotyde showed improvement in psoriatic arthritis in a Phase 3 trial, with 58% of patients achieving a 20% improvement in disease activity. However, analysts at BMO Capital Markets noted that the results fell short of AbbVie's Skyrizi, which has a 23% placebo-adjusted improvement.
