• TREMFYA® (guselkumab)

    INDICATIONS

    TREMFYA® (guselkumab) is indicated for the treatment of adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

    TREMFYA® is indicated for the treatment of adults with active psoriatic arthritis.

    IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

    CONTRAINDICATIONS

    TREMFYA® is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to guselkumab or to any of the excipients.

    WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

    Hypersensitivity Reactions

    Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with postmarket use of TREMFYA®. Some cases required hospitalization. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue TREMFYA® and initiate appropriate therapy.

    Infections

    TREMFYA® may increase the risk of infection. Treatment with TREMFYA® should not be initiated in patients with a clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated.

    Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to prescribing TREMFYA® in patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection. Instruct patients receiving TREMFYA® to seek medical help if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a clinically important or serious infection, or is not responding to standard therapy, closely monitor and discontinue TREMFYA® until the infection resolves.

    Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis (TB)

    Evaluate patients for TB infection prior to initiating treatment with TREMFYA®. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering TREMFYA®. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after TREMFYA® treatment. Do not administer TREMFYA® to patients with active TB infection.

    Immunizations

    Prior to initiating TREMFYA®, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with TREMFYA®.

    ADVERSE REACTIONS

    Most common (≥1%) adverse reactions associated with TREMFYA® include upper respiratory infections, headache, injection site reactions, arthralgia, bronchitis, diarrhea, gastroenteritis, tinea infections, and herpes simplex infections.

    The overall safety profile observed in patients with psoriatic arthritis is generally consistent with the safety profile in patients with plaque psoriasis, with the addition of bronchitis and neutrophil count decreased.

The fact that a treatment is assigned a code and payment rate does not promise that it will be covered. Codes are used to describe products, procedures, or services on insurance claims. Payers use these codes with other information to figure out if treatment will be covered, and how much will be paid if covered. Legal requirements and plan information can be updated frequently. Contact the plan for more information about current coverage, reimbursement policies, restrictions, or requirements that may apply.
