Inclusion Criteria

• Plaque psoriasis (primarily)
• Treatment for 6 months at least with IL23 or IL17 inhibitor in a normal dose (dose advised by the label)
• PASI (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) = 5 at inclusion and in previous 6 months (in previous 6 months, it should be clear from the patient record that psoriasis was clear/almost clear if no PASI scores are available).
• DLQI = 5 at inclusion
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 220
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 24

Exclusion Criteria

• Another indication than plaque psoriasis as the main indication for biologic use (e.g. receives biologic for rheumatoid arthritis as the main indication).
• Concomitant use of systemic immunosuppressants other than methotrexate or acitretin (e.g. prednisone, cyclosporine etc).
• Severe comorbidities with short life-expectancy (e.g. metastasized tumour).
• Presumed inability to follow the study protocol.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: The primary goal is to investigate whether controlled dose reduction of IL17 or IL23 inhibiting biologics is not inferior compared to usual care. This is measured by comparing the proportion of long-term disease flares between the two groups (dose reduction group versus usual care group). ;Secondary Objective: Secondary goals are: determining the proportion of patients with successful dose reduction, clinical effectiveness measured with the Psoriasis Area and Severity score (PASI) score, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores, predictors for successful dose reduction, safety, and cost-effectiveness of dose reduction. Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis will be performed for modeling. ;Primary end point(s): Primary outcome is the cumulative incidence of persistent flares (PASI> 5 for = 3 months). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 18 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary end point(s): Secondary outcomes are the percentage of successful dose reductions, the course of disease activity (PASI), incidence of short disease flares (PASI> 5 once), course of disease-related quality of life (DLQI), predictors for successful dose reduction, side effects, antibody formation and trough levels of biologics (PK), health-status (SF-36), quality-adjusted life-years (EQ-5D-5L), volumes of care (iMTA Medical Consumption Questionnaire), loss of productivity and presenteeism (Productivity Cost Questionnaire). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 18 months
