Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to monitor the long-term safety of ustekinumab in pediatric participants (6 years to 17 years of age at the time of inclusion) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, through monitoring for the following adverse events potentially related to immune modulation: serious infections, malignancies and autoimmunity; and to monitor the long-term effects of ustekinumab on growth (weight, height, body mass index) and development (sexual maturity based on the Tanner Scale).

Participants 6-17 years of Age With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis

All Participants diagnosed with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who will either start therapy with ustekinumab within 2 months after the first assessment in the study or have started therapy with ustekinumab in the 12-week period before the first assessment in the study as per routine clinical practice, will be monitored for the long-term safety of ustekinumab and long-term effects of ustekinumab on growth and development. The primary data source for the study will be the medical records of participants and standardized questionnaires (completed by the physician and by the participant/parent).

Ustekinumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will not receive any intervention as part of this study. Participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are initiating treatment with ustekinumab in clinical practice (patients should either start therapy with ustekinumab within 2 months after the first assessment in the study or have started therapy with ustekinumab in the 12-week period before the first assessment in the study for the treatment of psoriasis) will be observed for the long-term safety of ustekinumab and the long-term effects of ustekinumab on growth and development.
