Key clinical point: In patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), efficacy of the novel interleukin (IL)-23p19 inhibitor guselkumab for joint improvement was comparable to IL-17A and subcutaneous tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors while offering a better efficacy for skin manifestations.
Major finding: Guselkumab 100 mg every 8 weeks and every 4 weeks were comparable to IL-17A and subcutaneous TNF inhibitors for American College of Rheumatology 20 response. Guselkumab showed better Psoriasis Area Severity Index 90 and 75 responses than most of the other agents.
Study details: Data come from a network meta-analysis of 26 phase 3, randomized controlled trials that evaluated 13 targeted therapies among adults with active PsA.
