Vunakizumab is an injectable antibody for psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis. It was developed in China by Jiangsu Hengrui Pharmaceuticals and is made by its subsidiary Suzhou Suncadia Biopharmaceuticals. In China it is sold as 安达静® and is injected under the skin.
China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has approved it for adults with:
It is a prescription immunology medicine and should be used only under a dermatologist or rheumatologist.
IL-17A is an immune messenger that drives the fast skin-cell growth and redness of psoriasis, and the inflammation in the spine and tendons in ankylosing spondylitis. Vunakizumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody that binds IL-17A and stops it from reaching its receptor, which calms the inflammation at its source. It stays in the body for a long time (a half-life of about 24 days), and after the starting doses it is given once every four weeks.
Psoriasis: the phase 3 trial, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in 2025, included 690 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. After 12 weeks, 76.8% of people on vunakizumab had at least 90% clearer skin (PASI 90), against 0.9% on placebo. 93.6% reached PASI 75 and 36.6% had completely clear skin (PASI 100). The benefit held through week 52.
Ankylosing spondylitis: in a phase 2/3 trial of 548 adults (JAMA Network Open, 2026), 65.6% of people on vunakizumab 120 mg reached the ASAS20 response at week 16, compared with 42.5% on placebo, and 46.3% versus 24.0% reached the stricter ASAS40. Responses lasted to week 32.
Each pre-filled pen or syringe holds 120 mg in 1 mL. The regimens used in the trials and described in the published literature are:
Your specialist will confirm the exact schedule from the current Chinese prescribing information and decide how long to continue.
This information is not a treatment plan. For personalized medical advice, consult your doctor and refer to the full prescribing information.
Blood tests: in the psoriasis trial, the most common changes were in blood chemistry. Over 52 weeks, raised uric acid (hyperuricaemia) was seen in 18.9% of patients, high blood fats in 13.3%, high triglycerides in 9.8% and a rise in the liver enzyme ALT in 11.1%. Your doctor may check uric acid, lipids and liver tests from time to time, especially if you have gout, diabetes or a fatty liver.
Overall: during the first 12 weeks of the psoriasis trial, side effects were about as frequent as with placebo (69.1% vs 71.6%). Severe side effects occurred in 1.5% and only 0.7% stopped treatment because of them. Over 52 weeks, 2.2% stopped because of side effects.

It is stored and shipped as directed on the pack, using temperature-controlled shipping all the way to the hospital or patient.
