Introduction: the selective IL-17 inhibitor secukinumab has demonstrated efficacy and safety in the treatment of moderate–severe psoriasis in recent years. Objective: evaluate effectiveness and drug survival (DS) of secukinumab in patients with psoriasis for up to 5 years. Methods: This is a retrospective study on a monocentric cohort of patients with psoriasis on secukinumab evaluating the achievement of PASI100, PASI90, and PASI ≤ 3 and DS analysis up to 260 weeks. DS multivariate analysis was carried out considering sex, age, age of onset of the disease, obesity, cardiovascular comorbidities, diabetes, involvement of difficult-to-treat sites, psoriatic arthritis, treatment-naïve status, and mean baseline PASI. Results: At baseline, we evaluated 255 patients on secukinumab. PASI100 was reached by 41.7% and 70.6% of patients at weeks 16 and 260, respectively. PASI90 showed a similar trend with 46.5% of patients achieving it at week 16 and 88.2% at week 260. Non-obese patients showed a faster response than patients with obesity in achieving PASI100, PASI90, and PASI ≤ 3, with significant differences at 28 weeks [55% vs. 40% (p = 0.033), 64% vs. 49% (p = 0.038), and 76% vs. 62% (p = 0.036), respectively]. The estimated DS for secukinumab was 84.3% at 12 and 48% at 60 months. Obesity and smoking habits were associated with a higher risk of discontinuation in multivariate models (HR 1.6 CI 1.05–2.45, p = 0.028; HR 1.48 CI 1.01–2.17, p = 0.043, respectively). Conclusions: Secukinumab showed effectiveness for up to 5 years of treatment, with a high DS and achievement of PASI100, PASI90, and PASI < 3 at these time points. Only obesity reduced the response and maintenance of DS.
