The Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Hub is pleased to present a visual abstract summarizing Week 28 data from the ongoing phase IIIb GUIDE study, investigating the efficacy of guselkumab in patients with moderate-severe plaque psoriasis with either a short disease duration (<2 years) and or a long disease duration (>2 years).1
Key baseline patient characteristics are shown in Table 1. The baseline mean psoriasis area and severity and dermatology life quality index scores were similar between the groups.1

The results from this study have demonstrated that early intervention with guselkumab in patients with psoriasis may lead to a better clinical response, which could lead to overall better long-term outcomes for patients.1
