Maintenance of Response Through up to 4 Years of Continuous Guselkumab Treatment of Psoriasis in the VOYAGE 2 Phase 3 Study

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Guselkumab effectively treats moderate-to-severe psoriasis. OBJECTIVES: Results of continuous guselkumab treatment through 4 years from VOYAGE 2 are presented. METHODS: At baseline, 992 patients were randomized to receive guselkumab 100 mg every 8 weeks, placebo, or adalimumab 40 mg every 2 weeks. Placebo-treated patients crossed over to guselkumab at week 16. Weeks 28-76 incorporated randomized withdrawal, and all patients received open-label guselkumab through to week 204. Efficacy was analyzed using pre-specified treatment failure rules (patients were considered nonresponders after discontinuing due to lack of efficacy, worsening of psoriasis, or use of a prohibited treatment)..
