Effet du guselkumab sur l'état de santé général chez les patients naïfs de produits biologiques atteints de rhumatisme psoriasique actif à la semaine 52 de l'essai de phase 3 DISCOVER-2, randomisé et contrôlé par placebo

In the latest study by Curtis, et al. guselkumab treatment regimens improved general HRQoL as measured by the EQ-5D-5L Index and EQ-VAS. In reaching this conclusion investigators aimed to determine the minimal important difference for both instruments and to understand the associations between patient-reported EQ-5D-5L Index and EQ-VAS scores as well as key PsA clinical features.

In addition to their central conclusion this investigation found that PsA-associated impairment in HRQoL was associated with increased psoriasis symptoms, fatigue, TJC, SJC, pain, and CRP level. This suggests that the treatment of multiple PsA domains with guselkumab may lead not only to improvement in clinical signs and symptoms but also to enhanced overall patient HRQoL outcomes.
