New Consensus Statements on Impact of Genital Psoriasis on Patients from Genital Psoriasis Wellness Consortium Published in Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Clinical Practice
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arcutis Biotherapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQT), a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing meaningful innovations in immuno-dermatology, today announced the publication of 14 consensus statements from the Genital Psoriasis Wellness Consortium on the impact of genital psoriasis on patients in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (JEADV) Clinical Practice. The consensus statements are aimed at providing expert, multidisciplinary guidance in three key areas: (1) physical diagnosis and patient conversations, (2) impact on quality of life and interpersonal relationships, and (3) treatment decisions. 'Despite affecting an estimated six million Americans, genital psoriasis is often underreported and undertreated due to the uniquely sensitive and private nature of the afflicted areas, and uncertainty for how to begin the conversation. Relative to psoriasis in other areas of the body, genital psoriasis also has a greater impact on psychological well-being and quality of life, interpersonal relationships, intimacy, feelings of stigmatization, and rates of depression,' said Jennifer C. Cather, MD, FAAD, Medical Director and Founder of Mindful Dermatology and Modern Research Associates in Dallas, Texas, Genital Psoriasis Consortium member, and manuscript author. 'With the current lack of formal guidelines around genital psoriasis, the goal of convening the Consortium was to bridge the gaps in clinician-patient communication, develop tools and processes that aid in identification and diagnosis, and better-informed shared treatment decisions.' To formulate the consensus statements, a PubMed literature search was conducted, and a total of 78 unique publications were reviewed. Consortium members used a modified Delphi process, including a nominal group technique. The process included two rounds of virtual subcommittee meetings focused on the three key areas, followed by surveys to obtain anonymous feedback, and concluded with a final meeting to discuss and finalize the language of the consensus recommendations. 'Normalizing conversations and improving shared decision-making are critical first steps to improving outcomes. Implementation of the Consortium's new guidelines could provide consistent, streamlined care practices that don't currently exist for this condition,' said Patrick Burnett, MD, PhD, FAAD, chief medical officer of Arcutis. 'Arcutis is proud to support the Consortium's efforts to challenge the status quo to improve care for those with genital psoriasis.'
