Presentation Overview
• Project rationale
• Brief history of BADBIR
• Aim and study design
• Data collection
• Conclusions
The advent of biologic agents
• Has been met with:–Considerable enthusiasm from both
clinicians and patients
–Concerns • relatively high cost• potential for serious side effects
– efalizumab (recently had marketing license withdrawn) – anti-TNF agents (serious infections e.g. tuberculosis,
certain malignancies e.g. lymphomas, demyelinating disorders, congestive heart failure)
How is Potential Harm of Biologic Therapy assessed?
Phase I/II– Phase III
• Spontaneous pharmacovigilance
• Observational cohortsNational registers
Short-term safety of biologics has been evaluated in clinical trials
Some long-term safety data on anti-TNF drugs available from use in other conditions e.g. inflammatory arthritis, Crohn’s disease
Rationale for BADBIR
Patients with severe psoriasis are likely to
• be obese
• smoke
• abuse alcohol
• have a high risk of cardio-vascular disease
• be exposed to different types of drugs, e.g. phototherapy
• Therefore, data on the safety of biologic use in other conditions cannot be directly extrapolated to psoriasis
Recommendation from BAD
All patients treated with biologic agents be registered with BADBIR

In conclusion: BADBIR
• Will help to answer important questions about long-term safety of both biologic and systemic anti-psoriatic therapy
• Enable us to provide more accurate, better quality information to patients commencing both the biologic and the conventional treatments
