There are 2 disease interactions with Tremfya (guselkumab).

Moderate

Interleukin inhibitors (applies to Tremfya) infections

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Infection - Bacterial/Fungal/Protozoal/Viral

There have been reports of serious infections, including infections with opportunistic pathogens, and reactivation of latent infections in patients receiving interleukin inhibitors. Treatment with these agents should not be initiated in patients with an active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. Caution is recommended when considering the use of interleukin inhibitors in patients with a history of recurrent infections, underlying conditions which may predispose them to infections, or chronic, latent, or localized infections.

Moderate

Interleukin inhibitors (applies to Tremfya) tuberculosis

Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Tuberculosis -- Active, Tuberculosis -- Latent, History - Tuberculosis

Before initiating certain interleukin inhibitors, patients should be screened for latent tuberculosis infection with a tuberculin skin test. Do not administer these agents to patients with an active tuberculosis infection. Patients testing positive in tuberculosis screening should be treated by standard medical practice prior to therapy. Anti-tuberculosis therapy should be considered prior to initiation of therapy in patients with a past history of latent or active tuberculosis in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosis infection.
