About this trial
The main purpose of this study is to describe how well Guselkumab works after switching from Ustekinumab in participants with moderate to severe psoriasis in a routine clinical setting. A long-term skin disease that causes red, scaly and sometimes painful, itchy patches on the skin.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Must have a confirmed diagnosis of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis requiring systemic treatment
Participants who are currently being treated with Ustekinumab (either the originator or its biosimilar) and who are medically indicated to switch to Guselkumab, or for whom this switch is medically indicated, based on the current and valid national psoriasis (PsO) therapeutic protocol
Participants who, based on the Investigator's decision, should initiate treatment with Guselkumab
Participants must sign an informed consent form (ICF) allowing for data collection and source data verification in accordance with local requirements
Disqualifiers
Contraindication or hypersensitivity to Guselkumab or any other ingredient in the injection solution
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Currently enrolled in an interventional study
Currently enrolled in an observational study sponsored or managed by a Janssen company
Trial population
Participants with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who are candidates for systemic treatment (according to the Guselkumab label) and who are medically indicated to switch from Ustekinumab or its biosimilar to Guselkumab can be included in this study.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of Participants Achieving Absolute Psoriasis Area Severity Index (aPASI) <=3 at Week 20 Following Switch from Ustekinumab to Guselkumab
Percentage of participants achieving aPASI less than or equal to (\<=) 3 at Week 20 following the switch from Ustekinumab to Guselkumab will be reported. PASI is a widely used measurement tool used to assess the severity of psoriasis. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of Participants Achieving aPASI <= 3 at Weeks 4, 12, 36 and 52
Percentage of participants achieving aPASI \<= 3 will be reported. PASI is a widely used measurement tool used to assess the severity of psoriasis. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 75% Improvement in PASI (PASI 75) at Weeks 4, 12, 20, 36 and 52
Participants with an absolute percentage improvement of at least 75% will be considered having achieved PASI 75 at Weeks 4, 12, 20, 36 and 52. PASI is a widely used measurement tool used to assess the severity of psoriasis. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 90% Improvement in PASI (PASI 90) at Weeks 4, 12, 20, 36, and 52
Participants with an absolute percentage improvement of at least 90% will be considered having achieved PASI 90 at Weeks 4, 12, 20, 36 and 52. PASI is a widely used measurement tool used to assess the severity of psoriasis. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
Percentage of Participants Achieving 100% Improvement in PASI (PASI 100) at Weeks 4, 12, 20, 36, and 52
Participants with an absolute percentage improvement of 100% will be considered having achieved PASI 100 at Weeks 4, 12, 20, 36 and 52. PASI is a widely used measurement tool used to assess the severity of psoriasis. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease.
