Siliq gets FDA approval for treating psoriasis

[Fred]

Just FYI. According to my old dermatologist, one of the completed suicides was in the placebo group. The drug manufacturer themselves, aren't sure if the drug itself cause these problems.

I'm not sure how they say they are not sure when there were six in total, so allowing for the 1 placebo that's still 5 from their trials.

In clinical trials of the drug, brodalumab, there were six suicides across all programs: four in psoriasis studies, one in a rheumatoid arthritis study and one in a psoriatic arthritis study.

Maybe it's worth a go for some people, but there are plenty of other treatments today that don't have the same label. So I think it may struggle to get patient backing myself, but we'll see.
