Abstract

Dermatology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology
Introduction Guselkumab is approved for the treatment of both moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the USA. However, little is known about patients initiating guselkumab in a real-world setting. The objective of this study was to describe baseline characteristics among patients with plaque psoriasis who initiated guselkumab at or after enrollment in CorEvitas' Psoriasis Registry. Methods Adult patients who initiated guselkumab in the Psoriasis Registry between July 18, 2017 and November 6, 2018 were included. Demographics, disease characteristics, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were assessed at the time of guselkumab initiation (baseline). Patients with psoriasis were stratified according to the number of previously received biologics (0 to 4+) for comparison. A subset of patients with psoriasis and concomitant dermatologist-diagnosed PsA were stratified into biologic-naive and biologic-experienced groups. Results Among 687 patients with psoriasis who initiated guselkumab, biologic-naive patients and those with four or more prior biologics had the most severe disease and the worst PROM scores at baseline. Among 251 patients with concomitant dermatologist-diagnosed PsA, biologic-naive patients had more severe disease and worse PROM scores than biologic-experienced patients. Conclusions These findings highlight important differences in baseline characteristics according to biologic experience among patients with plaque psoriasis with or without concomitant PsA initiating guselkumab in a real-world setting.
