Major Research Findings
Deucravacitinib is an oral, selective, allosteric tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor that blocks cytokine signaling involved in psoriasis pathogenesis. 3 . Deucravacitinib is a promising new oral small molecule that selectively inhibits tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). 1 . Deucravacitinib has high functional selectivity for TYK2 versus the closely related Janus kinases (JAKs) 1/2/3. 2 .
Reasons for Side Effects
Deucravacitinib works by inhibiting a protein called TYK2, which plays a role in the activation of immune cells. Inhibiting TYK2 helps to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms of inflammatory diseases like psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. However, TYK2 is also important for other cells in the body, so inhibiting it can lead to side effects.

The efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib for psoriatic arthritis were evaluated in a Phase II clinical trial. 1 . The kinase specificity of deucravacitinib was compared to JAK 1/2/3 inhibitors. 2 .
Real-World Applications: Precautions
Deucravacitinib is a promising drug for treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, but it carries the risk of side effects. If you are considering taking deucravacitinib, it is important to consult your doctor and choose a treatment plan that is right for you.
Limitations of Current Research
There is a lack of research evaluating the long-term efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib.
Future Research Directions
Research is needed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of deucravacitinib.
Conclusion
Deucravacitinib is a promising new oral small molecule for treating psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. 3 1 2 . However, it also carries the risk of side effects. If you are considering taking deucravacitinib, it is important to consult your doctor and choose a treatment plan that is right for you.
