Bristol Myers Squibb said a pair of late-stage studies of its plaque psoriasis drug Sotyktu met their key goals in adults with active psoriatic arthritis.

Bristol Myers on Monday said the two Phase 3 studies met their primary endpoint, with a significantly greater proportion of Sotyktu-treated patients achieving at least a 20% improvement in signs and symptoms of the chronic inflammatory disease after 16 weeks of treatment compared with placebo.

The Princeton, N.J., biopharmaceutical company said the studies also met important secondary endpoints across disease activity at Week 16.

Bristol Myers said it plans to discuss the study results with health authorities.

The Food and Drug Administration in September 2022 approved Sotyktu for adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, a chronic skin condition.

Bristol Myers reported Sotyktu sales of $163 million for the first nine months of 2024, up 52% over year-ago levels.
