Participant Flow

We recruited by recontact participants from prior studies who had previously consented, used referrals from colleagues with approved language, flyers, and directly from clinic. Recruitment ran from February 2021 until May 2023

Actual enrollment of a total of 17 patients, as detailed in the periods section. 3 additional screened but not enrolled as not eligible.

Participant milestones
Measure
New-onset Guttate Psoriasis
Subjects will initially be treated with guselkumab 100 mg SQ at weeks 0, 4, and then every 8 weeks thereafter until week 44. At week 44, patients who have not achieved PASI 50 (nonresponders) will be removed from the trial. Patients who achieve between PASI 50 and PASI 75 (partial responders) will continue on drug throughout the remainder of the study. Patients who achieve PASI 75 or greater at week 44 (responders) will have their guselkumab therapy withdrawn and re-treated upon relapse.
Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Subjects will initially be treated with guselkumab 100 mg SQ at weeks 0, 4, and then every 8 weeks thereafter until week 44. At week 44, patients who have not achieved PASI 50 (nonresponders) will be removed from the trial. Patients who achieve between PASI 50 and PASI 75 (partial responders) will continue on drug throughout the remainder of the study. Patients who achieve PASI 75 or greater at week 44 (responders) will have their guselkumab therapy withdrawn and re-treated upon relapse.
