Guselkumab demonstrated superiority to adalimumab and placebo in treating PsO in this Phase 3 study. Improvements in IGA and PASI scores were observed as early as Week 16 and were maintained up to Week 48. Incidence of adverse events was similar across both treatment groups.

Blauvelt, et al. randomised patients with PsO 2:1:2 to guselkumab, placebo, and adalimumab. Patients in the placebo group were switched to guselkumab at Week 16, with all groups continuing treatment up to Week 48.
