Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of guselkumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Real-world evidence for guselkumab in Korea is needed to establish drug safety and effectiveness under real-world practice in this population. This study assessed the effectiveness, safety, and drug survival of guselkumab in Korean patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in a real-world clinical setting. In this prospective, non-interventional observational study conducted at 44 clinical centers in South Korea, adult patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who would receive guselkumab per the product label were enrolled. Disease assessment was performed at visits 1 (baseline, week 0), 2 (approximately week 4), and 3-7 (approximately every 8 weeks after week 4, weeks 12-44). Between February 25, 2019 and March 25, 2022, 707 patients were enrolled and 562 (79.5%) had completed the 56-week observation period. The proportions of patients with an absolute Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of ≤ 3, ≤ 2, or ≤ 1 reached maximums of 96.0%, 86.7%, and 59.0%, respectively, at visit 7. A significantly greater proportion of biologic-naïve (vs. biologic-experienced) patients achieved absolute PASI ≤ 3 by visits 5-7 (p = 0.001 at visit 7) and absolute PASI ≤ 2 by visits 6-7 (p = 0.0014 at visit 7). Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores decreased over time, with 64.1% of patients achieving DLQI 0/1 by visit 7; results were similar regardless of prior biologic therapy. The estimated drug-survival rate at 1 year was 92.7%. Adverse events (AEs) occurred in 22.5% of patients, with an incidence rate of 42.1 per 100 patient years (PY); 14 serious AEs occurred in 13 (1.8%) patients, with an incidence rate (95% confidence interval) of 2.4 (1.2-3.7) per 100 PY. Guselkumab administered under approved label conditions was effective and well-tolerated in Korean patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in a real-world clinical setting.
临床试验已证明古塞库单抗在中度至重度斑块状银屑病患者中的疗效和安全性。需要韩国的真实世界证据来确定该药物在这一人群的实际临床应用中的安全性和有效性。本研究评估了在真实临床环境中古塞库单抗对韩国中度至重度斑块状银屑病患者的有效性、安全性和药物留存率。在韩国44个临床中心进行的这项前瞻性、非干预性观察性研究中,纳入了符合产品标签规定将接受古塞库单抗治疗的中度至重度斑块状银屑病成年患者。在第1次就诊(基线,第0周)、第2次就诊(约第4周)以及第3 - 7次就诊(第4周后约每8周1次,即第12 - 44周)时进行疾病评估。在2019年2月25日至2022年3月25日期间,共纳入707例患者,其中562例(79.5%)完成了56周的观察期。在第7次就诊时,银屑病面积和严重程度指数(PASI)绝对评分≤3、≤2或≤1的患者比例分别最高达到96.0%、86.7%和59.0%。在第5 - 7次就诊时,初治生物制剂(与有生物制剂治疗经验相比)患者达到绝对PASI≤3的比例显著更高(第7次就诊时p = 0.001),在第6 - 7次就诊时达到绝对PASI≤2的比例也显著更高(第7次就诊时p = 0.0014)。皮肤病生活质量指数(DLQI)评分随时间下降,在第7次就诊时64.1%的患者达到DLQI 0/1;无论之前是否接受过生物制剂治疗,结果相似。1年时的估计药物留存率为92.7%。22.5%的患者发生了不良事件(AE),发病率为每100患者年42.1次;13例(1.8%)患者发生了14起严重AE,发病率(95%置信区间)为每100患者年2.4次(1.2 - 3.7次)。在真实临床环境中,按照批准的标签条件给药的古塞库单抗在韩国中度至重度斑块状银屑病患者中有效且耐受性良好。
