Ustekinumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting interleukin 12/23p40 (IL-12/23p40), is effective in the treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn disease. In 2011, a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials reported a potential risk of severe cardiovascular events (SCEs) within the first few months after the initiation of anti-IL-12/23p40 antibodies.
