Abstract
Concerns have emerged over the potential for brodalumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to the human interleukin (IL)-17 receptor A and blocks the activity of multiple IL-17 isoforms, to increase risk of suicidal ideation and behaviour. Although the validity of this association has been questioned,1,2 brodalumab has a boxed warning regarding suicidality in its US label and is only available through a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy. Regardless of the true association between suicidality and brodalumab, the demonstrated adverse impact of psoriasis on mental health necessitates careful assessment for possible psychiatric adverse effects of psoriasis therapies, including those that inhibit the IL-17 pathway.
