Would you stop bimekizumab in a patient who has severe psoriasis and has responded well to this therapy but is found to have newly diagnosed cirrhosis?
Assuming numerous prior treatment failures, and no LFT elevation on lab monitoring for medication.

I believe there's no contraindication to bimekizumab in patients with cirrhosis. I would hope that the patient's hepatologist would find some other reason/cause for the cirrhosis. If the bimekizumab were to have caused cirrhosis (I'd be surprised if it ever did), I'd try to find another treatment.
