Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the persistence of four biologic treatments (adalimumab, guselkumab, secukinumab, and ustekinumab) for moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis in Australia, particularly looking at how prior biologic use affects treatment persistence.
- A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 878 patients between 2015 and 2021, measuring how long patients continued their biologic treatment before stopping (persistence).
- Results showed that guselkumab had significantly longer persistence than the other three treatments, and patients who were new to biologics (bio-naïve) had better persistence than those who had used other biologics before
