Marzo-Ortega et al. report that dactylitis and enthesitis are associated with a greater disease burden and worse prognosis, highlighting the importance for physicians to identify these conditions and provide adequate treatment. Authors evaluated guselkumab’s efficacy on dactylitis resolution (DR) and enthesitis resolution (ER), and their impact on subsequent disease control, in patients with active PsA and prior inadequate response to tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi-IR).

Merola et al. showed that the safety profile of ixekizumab (IXE) supports its long-term use in patients with PsO, PsA, or axSpA, without an increased risk for malignant neoplasm development. Merola et al. investigated the incidence rates of malignant neoplasms among patients with PsO, PsA, or axSpA who underwent long-term treatment with IXE, an IL- 17A antagonist.

Deodhar et al. assessed the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of bimekizumab in patients with r-axSpA over five years. The study found that bimekizumab maintained disease control achieved at Wk48 through Wk256, with no new safety signals observed. Adverse events were consistent with previous reports, and clinical benefits, including improvements in disease activity and patient-reported outcomes, were sustained.
