Mease et al. report that patients without radiographic progression through 2 years of secukinumab treatment had greater achievement of LDA states at Week 104 than patients with radiographic progression. This post hoc analysis by Mease et al. of the FUTURE 5 study evaluated the relationship between radiographic progression status at Week 104 and achievement of LDA or remission and identified demographics and clinical characteristics that were associated with radiographic progression status at Week 104.

Mease et al. showed that guselkumab provided significantly higher rates of clinical improvement and significant inhibition of structural damage progression versus PBO, with no new safety signals, at Week 24 in biologic-naïve participants with active and erosive PsA. Mease et al. report primary efficacy and safety results for the double-blind PBO-controlled phase (Weeks 0-24) of the 3-year APEX study.

April 2025

Mease et al. found that bimekizumab demonstrated a favourable long-term safety profile in patients with axSpA and PsA.

November 2024

Mease et al. conducted a post-hoc analysis of the phase 3 DISCOVER-2 trial to assess the persistence of clinically relevant improvements with guselkumab in biologic-naïve patients with PsA. The analysis showed that guselkumab maintained clinical improvements in joint and skin domains at consecutive dosing visits (Q8W) and over time.

August 2024

Mease et al. assessed the comparative effectiveness of bimekizumab and risankizumab in patients with PsA over 52 weeks using a matching-adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC). The study included patients who were biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD) naïve or had a prior inadequate response or intolerance to tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi-IR).

May 2016

Encouraging results have been seen with clazakizumab in RA, but the results of anti-IL6 therapy in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have so far been unclear. This Phase 2b dose-ranging study examined the efficacy and safety of clazakizumab given subcutaneously q4w, with or without MTX, in 165 patients with PsA who had inadequate response to NSAIDs.ACR20 response at Week 16, the primary endpoint, was significantly higher in patients receiving clazakizumab 100 mg compared with placebo (52.4...
