Biologic Therapy for Generalized Pustular Psoriasis

The investigators aim to compare the efficacy and safety of secukinumab and ustekinumab in patients with generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), and to explore the impact of genetic mutation types on clinical efficacy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: Is there a difference in the effectiveness of secukinumab and ustekinumab in the treatment of GPP? How is the safety of secukinumab and ustekinumab in the treatment of GPP? Does the type of genetic mutation in GPP patients affect the efficacy of secukinumab and ustekinumab? The investigators will compare patients treated with secukinumab to those treated with ustekinumab to see the difference in the effectiveness of the two drugs in treating GPP. Participants will: The investigators conducted a 48-week follow-up study on 65 participants who were admitted to the dermatology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University for GPP from July 2019 to December 2022. All participants underwent saliva-based genetic testing. Efficacy analyses were performed based on the scores of Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (GPPASI) and Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Physician Global Assessment (GPPGA) at week 0, 2, 4, 12, 24, and 48. Participants were also asked to report all adverse events (AEs) during follow-up.
