The effectiveness of guselkumab was compromised in a real-world setting. Delayed onset of therapeutic response was noted in heavier patients. Biologic exposure, the number of previously used biologics, and previous exposure to IL-17 inhibitors were clinical predictors of a reduced response to guselkumab. Physicians may share this information with patients to make treatment decisions.
