Meeting Summary

The oral session consisted of a talk on the 2-year efficacy and safety of guselkumab in the treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis from the Phase III VOYAGE 1 trial. This was followed by an oral session consisting of presentations regarding the clinical efficacy of tildrakizumab in patients with chronic plaque psoriasis over 2 years of treatment, presented from the two Phase III trials, reSURFACE 1 and 2. In the poster session, data were presented on the association between psoriasis and severity index measures, the distribution of improvement measures in psoriasis, and the efficacy of guselkumab in treatment-experienced patients, as well as its impact on the comorbidities of anxiety and depression.
