Multidomain Efficacy and Safety of Guselkumab Through 1 Year in Patients With Active Psoriatic Arthritis With and Without Prior Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitor Experience: Analysis of the Phase 3, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled DISCOVER-1 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate efficacy and safety of the interleukin-23p19-subunit inhibitor, guselkumab, in DISCOVER-1 patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) by prior use of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi).

Methods

The phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled DISCOVER-1 study enrolled patients with active PsA (swollen joint count ≥3, tender joint count ≥3, and C-reactive protein level ≥ 0.3 mg/dl) despite standard therapies; approximately one-third could have received two or fewer prior TNFi. Patients were randomized to 100 mg of guselkumab every 4 weeks (Q4W); 100 mg of guselkumab at week 0, at week 4, and every 8 weeks (Q8W); or placebo with crossover to guselkumab Q4W at week 24. Efficacy end points of ≥20% and ≥50% improvement in individual American College of Rhe
