We’re no strangers to firsts
TREMFYA® is the first medication of its kind to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2017 to treat adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
In July 2020, the FDA also approved TREMFYA® to treat adults with active psoriatic arthritis.
TREMFYA® Legacy
TREMFYA® has 15+ years of combined clinical research* and 7+ years on the market across indications.
*Based on a clinical trial of TREMFYA® initiated in 2009.
TREMFYA® results
In two clinical studies, at least 7 out of 10 patients saw at least 90% clearer skin at 16 weeks. Results may vary.
In one of those studies, nearly 7 out of 10 patients with 90% clearer skin at 16 weeks were still clearer at 5 years.
At 1 year and thereafter, patients and healthcare providers knew that TREMFYA® was being used. This may have increased results. Results may vary.
