Abstract
Introduction: The interleukin-23p19 subunit inhibitor, guselkumab, has demonstrated improvements in clinical and patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Understanding the relationship among clinical response, PRO measures and baseline characteristics could help clinicians individualize treatment plans. The objective of this analysis was to examine changes in signs, symptoms and quality-of-life (QoL) PRO measures in patients who maintained complete skin clearance through ≥ 3 years in the phase 3 VOYAGE 1 trial.
Methods: A descriptive post hoc analysis of data from VOYAGE 1 was conducted to compare baseline characteristics of patients who maintained complete skin clearance (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI] = 0 for ≥ 156 consecutive weeks) versus patients who did not. Mean scores for individual domains of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) and Psoriasis Symptom and Sign Diary (PSSD) were evaluated in patients who maintained complete skin clearance, and baseline characteristics of patients who achieved PRO scores of DLQI = 0/1 and PSSD = 0 were compared with those who did not.
Results: Of the 329 patients included in this post hoc analysis, 73 (22.2%) maintained PASI = 0 for ≥ 156 weeks. This group had a numerically lower proportion of patients at baseline with obesity, depression or previous biologic treatment and a higher proportion who had never smoked. Patients who maintained PASI = 0 generally achieved positive DLQI and PSSD outcomes, though some impact of residual disease was observed, largely related to the DLQI "Symptoms and feelings" sub-scale and PSSD components "Dryness," "Redness" and "Itch." Patients reporting continued disease impact (despite sustaining PASI = 0) had greater disease severity at baseline versus those achieving DLQI = 0/1 and PSSD = 0.
Conclusion: Clinical measures alone do not capture the full patient experience. While both QoL and clinical symptoms are responsive to highly effective treatment, a subset of patients with complete clinical response is still impacted by their psoriasis. Further investigation into this population is warranted.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
