Abstract
- The VOYAGE 1 and 2 studies of guselkumab in moderate-to-severe psoriasis are among the first studies of biologics to include patients with a history of malignancy. In these studies, 18 guselkumab-treated patients had a history of malignancy (excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer) > 5 years prior to enrolment. These 18 patients were exposed to guselkumab for up to 5 years; during this time, one patient had a recurrence of bronchial carcinoma, and three patients developed new malignancies (breast cancer, melanoma and sebaceous carcinoma). All patients with new or recurrent malignancies had underlying risk factors for malignancy. Overall, the results of this analysis in a small population of patients with a history of malignancy support the favourable long-term safety profile of guselkumab.
