Smile Psoriasis - Guselkumab Trials Look Promising

"Trial Drug Clears Psoriasis Better Than Humira."

"According to clinical trial results published in July's New England Journal of Medicine, up to 45 percent of psoriasis patients taking a biologic called guselkumab had completely clear skin after four months." Read On here:
https://www.psoriasis.org/advance/tr...er-than-humira


NEJM Article on Guselkumab Trials:

A Phase 2 Trial of Guselkumab versus Adalimumab for Plaque Psoriasis
http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1501646

Guselkumab is currently being tested in Phase 3 trials, thus not yet available by prescription.


Psoriasis is a "systemic" disease with significant co-morbidities, including heart disease, diabetes and more. Patients with psoriasis skin lesions often benefit from immune modulation (or suppression) and the minimizing of systemic inflammation, etc. The goal of clearing lesions is just a part of the goal, as there are often underlying co-occurring conditions needing treatment as well.

This is exciting news for many people suffering treatment-resistant Plaque Psoriasis. I hope this medication will truly be helpful to those suffering.
