Join Professors Peter Nash, Philip Mease, Frank Behrens, and Laura Coates as they discuss the top publications in the world of PsA. They discuss two highly relevant topics in the field, namely the effect of sex on the long-term persistence of targeted therapies, as well as the impact of secukinumab on synovitis and enthesitis.

Discussing Rheumatology: December 2023

Join Professor Iain McInnes as he discusses the latest information and data in rheumatology. In this episode, he discusses two papers that compare the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors as RA therapies. In our first paper, Shinya Hayashi and his colleagues carried out a retrospective study to compare the efficacy of JAK inhibitors in treating RA. For our second paper, Christina Charles-Schoeman and her colleagues compared the incidence of MACE and VTE in RA and PsA patients treated with upadacitinib, adalimumab and MTX.

Discussing PsA: Impact of Biological Sex on Advanced Therapies & Upadacitinib-related Malignancies

Join Philip Mease, Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine and Director of Rheumatology Research at the Swedish Medical Centre in Seattle, USA, and Laura Coates, an Associate Professor, NIHR clinician scientist and senior clinical research fellow at the Oxford Psoriatic Arthritis Centre, as they discuss two important topics from the world of contemporary PsA treatment.

The first of the publications they will be reviewing sought to compare patient characteristics and efficacy and safety of advanced therapies between male and female patients with PsA participating in RCTs. They then go on to discuss a second publication describing malignancies in patients with a variety of rheumatic conditions treated with upadacitinib or active comparators.
