The IL23/Th17 axis plays a strategic role in psoriasis (PSO). Guselkumab (GUS) is a selective inhibitor of the IL23p19 subunit. Its introduction has managed to increase the levels of efficacy, safety and survival in PSO. In real clinical practice, patients can loss effectiveness or suffered adverse events that forces a change in their treatments. There is scarce evidence of the effectiveness, safety, and survival of GUS in real clinical practice after anti‐TNFα, anti‐IL17, and/or anti‐IL12/23. This is multicenter, observational and retrospective study of real clinical practice includes patients with moderate‐to‐severe plaque PSO in treatment with GUS. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of GUS after anti‐TNFα, anti‐IL17, and anti‐IL12/23. The study includes clinical information from February 2019 to February 2022. PASI, BSA, Pruritus, DLQI, survival, and safety were evaluated up to 76 weeks. Analyses were performed "as observed" using GraphPad Prism version 8.3.0 for Windows. A total of 103 patients were included in the analysis. At baseline there were significant differences between the anti‐TNF, anti‐IL17, and anti‐IL12/23 groups for (1) dyslipidemia; (2) number of previous biological treatments and (3) PASI, BSA, VAS Pruritus, and DLQI scores. The effectiveness of GUS in terms of PASI, BSA, Pruritus, and DLQI was not impacted by previous biological alternatives. Treatment survival including discontinuations due to lack of effectiveness or safety reasons was 100%, 92.7%, and 92.1% for anti‐TNFα, anti‐IL17, and anti‐IL12/23, respectively, at 130 weeks. No differences were found between groups. One adverse event was reported in the anti‐LI12/23 group. The mid‐term effectiveness, safety and survival of GUS if not impacted by previous biological therapy as anti‐TNFα, anti‐IL17, and/or anti‐IL12/23. Our results indicate that GUS could be a switching strategy in patients who fail or present AE to other biological alternatives in moderate‐to‐severe PSO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
