DRUG OVERVIEW
Otezla (apremilast; Celgene) is a novel small molecule phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor that has been shown to modulate the production of pro-inflammatory mediators including tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-17, IL-23, interferon-gamma, leukotrienes, and nitric oxide synthase.
Otezla first gained approval from the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis in March 2014, and for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in September 2014. The drug received subsequent EU approval for the two indications in January 2015.
