Can a switch to guselkumab clear stubborn psoriasis?
NCT ID NCT07746583
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how well guselkumab works for people with moderate to severe psoriasis who switch from ustekinumab (or its biosimilar) in a real-world setting. Researchers will track skin clearance using the PASI score at various time points over a year. The goal is to see if the switch helps reduce psoriasis severity and is safe in routine clinical care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Guselkumab (a biologic drug) given after switching from ustekinumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand whether switching to guselkumab is a safe and effective option for people with moderate to severe psoriasis in everyday practice.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient differences, and the study is relatively small.
