Abstract
ABSTRACTBackgroundReal-world data are useful to guide the management of psoriasis. Here, we present data on the effectiveness and survival of guselkumab in moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis for up to 148 weeks.Research design and methodsCross-sectional study of 122 patients receiving guselkumab (100 mg at weeks 0 and 4, and then every 8 weeks thereafter) for>12 weeks, from November 2018 to April 2022.Main outcome measuresClinical features and drug survival were analyzed up to 148 weeks.ResultsObese patients (32.8%) and those receiving prior biologics (64.8%) were included. Guselkumab treatment was associated with a rapid decrease in PASI, from 16.2 to 3.2 at week 12, and long-term improvements in all subgroups (97.6%, 82.9%, and 63.4% of patients, respectively, achieved PASI 75, 90, and 100 after 148 weeks). More non-obese than obese patients achieved PASI 100 at week 148 (86.4% vs 38.9%), as did bio-naïve vs bio-experienced patients (86.7% vs 50.0%). Previous biologic therapy was a negative prognostic factor for achieving PASI 100 over the long-term by multivariate analysis (p = 0.005). Overall, 96% of patients were on treatment after 2 years.ConclusionsReal-world data confirm the long-term effectiveness of guselkumab in patients with psoriasis.
