ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Guselkumab is a fully human monoclonal IgG1 antibody which, by selectively binding to the p19 subunit of IL-23, prevents it from binding to the IL-23 receptor on the cell surfaces. To date, no prospective data are available on the efficacy and safety of this drug in everyday clinical practice in patients with psoriasis (PSO). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
This is a longitudinal, single arm, real-world, prospective study to investigate the effect of Guselkumab on PSO and quality of life (DLQI) in 44 PSO patients. Outcomes were PASI, BSA, DLQI at 3 and 6 months.RESULTS:
The longitudinal analysis showed that PASI improved from a median value of 24.1 at baseline to 2.0 at 6-months and this was also true for BSA (from 23.0 to 2.0) and DLQI (from 24.0 to 2.5) (all p<0.001). At 6-months, PASI75, PASI90 and PASI100 were 95.5%, 59.1% and 16%, respectively. The PSO improvement related with the increase of DLQI (∆PASI vs. ∆DLQI, r=0.77, p<0.001). No clinically relevant adverse events were observed.CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrates the effectiveness and safety of Guselkumab on PSO in real world and shows that the reduction of PSO severity due to the drug is directly related with the improvement of quality of life in this patient population.
