Objective To systematically review the long-term efficacy of biologics for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Methods PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the long-term efficacy of approved biologics for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis from inception to May 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies; then, the network meta-analysis was performed by using Stata 16.0 software. Results A total of 26 RCTs were included. The results of network meta-analysis showed that among 11 biologics, the most effective biologics were risankizumab, followed by bimekizumab, brodalumab, guselkumab, and ixekizumab, and followed by secukinumab, adalimumab, ustekinumab, and etanercept was the last. Conclusion Current evidence shows that risankizumab is likely to be the best option for long-term treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
