Guselkumab demonstrates long-term efficacy and maintenance of treatment response postwithdrawal in systemic treatment-naïve patients and nonresponders to fumaric acid esters: Results from parts II and III of a randomized active-comparator-controlled Phase IIIb trial (POLARIS)

Br J Dermatol 2024;191:36–48 doi: 10.1093/bjd/ljad523

Thaçi, et al. show that guselkumab (GUS) had higher efficacy and a more tolerable safety profile compared with fumaric acid esters (FAE) in patients with moderate. Long-term efficacy through 100 weeks of treatment was seen with GUS as a first-line systemic treatment, and as a second-line systemic treatment in FAE nonresponders.

This pooled analysis of the Phase 3 PSO-1 and PSO-2 trials shows that deucravacitinib has greater efficacy in treating scalp PsO than placebo and apremilast. At week 16, response rates were greater with deucravacitinib versus placebo or apremilast for scalp-specific Physician Global Assessment 0/1 and Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index. Efficacy was maintained through 52 weeks in patients who received continuous deucravacitinib treatment.
