Characterization of insufficient responders to ustekinumab in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis in the US Corrona Psoriasis Registry

Objective Biologic therapies have revolutionized the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis; however, there are a limited number of US real-world studies characterizing patients based on response to these treatments. This study examined characteristics at enrollment and change in outcomes of US...

description Objective Biologic therapies have revolutionized the management of moderate-to-severe psoriasis; however, there are a limited number of US real-world studies characterizing patients based on response to these treatments. This study examined characteristics at enrollment and change in outcomes of US patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who achieved insufficient responses with ustekinumab. Methods This study included patients enrolled in the Corrona Psoriasis Registry from April 2015 to June 2018 who initiated ustekinumab at enrollment and who were stratified based on achievement of psoriasis body surface area improving to <3% or by 75% from enrollment to the 6-month follow-up visit (response vs insufficient response). Patient demographics and disease characteristics were described at enrollment, and changes in outcomes were assessed at 6-month follow-up for ustekinumab responders and insufficient responders. Results Of the 178 patients who initiated ustekinumab in the Corrona Psoriasis Registry and had ≥1 follow-up visit, 99 (55.6%) were classified as responders at the 6-month follow-up visit. Logistic regression modeling showed that increasing age was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of achieving a response (OR, 0.981 [95%CI, 0.962–0.999]; p = .049). Conclusions These findings may help dermatologists characterize patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who have inadequate responses to biologic treatments.
