Abstract: The disclosure is directed to methods, treatment regimens, uses, kits and therapies for treating Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP). These methods, treatment regimens, uses, kits and therapies utilize, inter alia, administration of an IL-17 antagonist, e.g., an IL-17 antibody, such as secukinumab. Additionally disclosed are improved methods for treating plaque-type psoriasis that utilize up-titration and down-titration of the IL-17 antagonist, e.g., an IL-17 antibody, such as secukinumab, as well as modification of dose frequency. Further disclosed are methods of treating palmoplantar pustular psoriasis using the disclosed IL-17 antagonists, e.g., IL-17 antibodies, such as secukinumab.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated naturally-occurring soluble truncated IL-23R? protein, which is a translated protein resulting from a mRNA splice variant of IL-23R?. The soluble IL-23R? proteins (e.g., ?9 and ?8,9) represents a novel soluble IL-23R? protein, which is lacking a transmembrane domain and has a unique eight (8) amino acids (GLKEGSYC) at its C-terminus end (due to frame-shift). ELISA reveals that ?9 is present in blood and can serve as a diagnostic tool for auto-immune diseases including Crohn's disease. There is also provided a method of recombinant production for this soluble truncated form of IL-23R? protein. More importantly, the present invention provides an utility application of the ?9 and ?8,9 protein in inhibit IL-23R-mediated cell signaling. More particularly, ?9 and ?8,9 blocks STAT3 formation as well as Th17 maturation. There is provided a therapeutic application of ?9 and ?8,9 in treating a human patient inflicted with Crohn's disease.
