Multi-Center PAMPA Study

Summary

This is a multi-center (North-America), randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, wait-list, interventional, preventive trial of guselkumab in high-risk psoriasis patients compared to non-biologic standard of care. The primary objective of the proposed trial will be to test the hypothesis that a prolonged, unresolved skin inflammation coupled with musculoskeletal power-doppler ultrasound (MSKPDUS) abnormalities driven by IL-23 increase the risk for transition into PsA and that an intervention that targets one of these pivotal molecules (i.e., Guselkumab) will: 1. Diminish MSKPDUS findings at 24 weeks, and 2. Significantly reduce or prevent the emergence of synovio-enthesial phenotype at year 2.
