Secukinumab for NLD (Cosentyx) in Patients With Necrobiosis Lipoidica Diabeticorum (NLD)

Secukinumab is selective for human IL-17A and potently neutralizes the bioactivity of this cytokine. IL-17A is the central cytokine in multiple autoimmune and inflammatory processes. It is being recognized as one of the principal pro-inflammatory cytokines in autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, PsA and AS, uveitis and is thought to play a role in other inflammatory conditions.
