mean BSA score: baseline 22.3 ± 10.5, week 4 14.2 ± 7.5 (p < 0.01), week 12 6.3 ± 5.4 (p < 0.001), week 52 0.8 ± 1.1 (p < 0 .001)

AEs: pharyngitis (15.4%, n = 2) and flu (7.7%, n = 1). No AE required guselkumab discontinuation 31
Snast et al., 2020 Retrospective cohort study 33 Guselkumab at labelled dosage Overall mean duration of treatment: 9.5 ± 3.7 months

Week 24 (n = 29): 22 (76%) achieved >  = PASI 75, 18 (62%) >  = PASI 90, 5 (17%) PASI 100

Week 36 and at the end of the study period: PASI 75/90/100 achieved by a similar proportion of patient

Subgroup analysis (PASI 90 response at week 24):

-a higher proportion of obese patients failed to achieve PASI 90 response (56% vs. 23%; no statistically significant difference, p = 0 .07)

-no association between age, sex, baseline PASI, psoriatic arthritis, or duration of psoriasis

No AEs reported 32
Schwensen et al., 2020 Retrospective, real-world evidence study 50 Guselkumab at labelled dosage Overall mean time of treatment: 80.6 weeks

Three months:

-63.6% and 36.4% experienced ≥ PASI 50 and ≥ PASI 90, respectively from baseline

-31.4% and 68.6% PASI < 1 and 3, respectively

No statistically significant difference between subgroups if stratifying drug survival rate of guselkumab for sex, psoriatic arthritis, previous treatment with TNF inhibitors or anti-IL‐17or anti-IL‐23, or number of previous biologic treatments before initiating treatment with guselkumab

No new AEs reported 33
Song et al., 2020 Case report 1, 13-year-old girl with active hepatitis B infection Guselkumab at labelled dosage 12 weeks

At 4 weeks: BSA decreased to 3%, IGA 3; complete clearance of forehead plaques

Week 12: BSA 1%, IGA 2, Stable liver enzymes, viral load undetectable

No AEs reported 60
Chiang et al., 2021 Retrospective study 13 (erythrodermic psoriasis) Guselkumab at labelled dosage Week 28 (at least)

Week 4, 12, 20, and 28, respectively:

-mean PASI improvement: 37.5%, 60.9%, 67.5%, and 64.7%,

-PASI 75: 15.4%, 38.4%, 53.8%, and 46.2%

-PASI 90: 0%, 7.7%, 23.1%, and 30.8%

Week 36: no nasopharyngitis, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, or injection-site reaction reported 38
Kromer et al., 2021 Multicenter, retrospective study 5/201 with generalized pustular psoriasis treated with guselkumab Guselkumab at labelled dosage Mean treatment time until last observation: 5.2 months 1 /5 partial response, 4 /5 response non reported 1 AE reported 39
Ruiz-Villaverde et al., 2021 Observational, longitudinal, retrospective study 87 Guselkumab at labelled dosage 52 weeks (3 patients at 76 weeks, maximum exposition 93.4 weeks)

Week 52:

PASI 75 in 90.3%, PASI90 in 71%, and PASI100 in 51.6% After 93.4 weeks (1 year, 9 months, and 14 days), the overall survival rate was 94% (4 events were reported)

4.6% discontinued (average follow‐up of 48 weeks): 1 patient for primary failure, 2 patients for secondary failure, 1 patient due to AE (headache) 34
