Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with confirmed moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are guselkumab-naive and able to provide informed consent and complete local language PRO instruments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to guselkumab or face contraindications, pregnancy, recent interventional participation, or language barriers may not benefit from this study’s findings.

What this trial studies
This observational study follows adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who start guselkumab to see how long they stay on the treatment over a two-year period. It collects patient-reported outcomes and outlines requirements such as informed consent and language-compliant PRO completion. Participants must be bio-naive to guselkumab and meet local regulatory criteria, with exclusion for pregnancy, recent interventional studies, or current Johnson & Johnson-sponsored observational studies. No specific intervention beyond routine guselkumab treatment is described, and sites are located in several Romanian clinics and hospitals. The lead sponsor is Janssen Research & Development, LLC, with collaboration listed as none.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could clarify real-world persistence with guselkumab and inform clinicians about long-term adherence in this population.
How similar studies have gone: Prior real-world observations of biologic therapies in psoriasis have shown variable persistence; this study addresses a similar question in a specific Romanian setting with limited published data.
