May 2026 in “Frontiers in Immunology” This case report documents the first use of bimekizumab, a dual inhibitor of IL-17A and IL-17F, as monotherapy for dissecting cellulitis of the scalp (DCS), a challenging form of cicatricial alopecia. A 27-year-old male with difficult-to-treat DCS and hair loss, unresponsive to standard treatments, was administered bimekizumab (320 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks for 16 weeks, then every 4 weeks). At the 16-week follow-up, the patient experienced no symptoms or adverse events, suggesting that bimekizumab effectively addresses the inflammatory mechanism of DCS, reduces symptoms, and improves quality of life.

November 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” The study investigated the effects of bimekizumab (BKZ) on psoriatic skin, focusing on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) sub-components: erythema, thickness, and scaling. In the BE RADIANT trial, patients receiving BKZ showed significant reductions in these sub-scores by Week 8, with ≥95% improvement by Week 12, maintained through Week 48. Molecular analysis revealed complete normalization of gene signatures associated with these sub-components by Week 8. The study found a correlation between changes in interleukin (IL)17A/IL17F expression and gene expression changes, highlighting BKZ's impact on keratinocytes. The results demonstrate that molecular resolution precedes clinical skin clearance, with all sub-components being reliable indicators of BKZ response.
