Abstract
Recently, multiple biologics have been approved for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. One topic of interest is whether gender influences drug efficacy. Recent studies claim that gender does not affect biologics treatment response in psoriasis patients [1]. However, women are underrepresented in clinical studies that assess the efficacy and safety of new treatments.
