Su et al. conducted a comprehensive systematic review and network meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of therapies for difficult-to-treat (D2T) RA. They found that tocilizumab and rituximab had superior efficacy and safety profiles, with 8mg every 4 weeks of tocilizumab identified as the optimal therapeutic dose.

Ghani et al. compared the efficacy and safety profiles of tapinarof and roflumilast for treating mild-to-moderate plaque psoriasis. Both therapies showed robust efficacy and were well-tolerated, with low rates of adverse events. Tapinarof exhibited marginally higher efficacy in PASI scores compared to roflumilast.

Deodhar et al. investigated the impact on efficacy and safety of escalating secukinumab dose from 150mg to 300mg Q4W in AS patients who did not achieve inactive disease during an initial 16-week period of 150mg secukinumab. At Week 52, clinical safety response rates were similar across groups continuing with 150mg or escalating to 300mg secukinumab.

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).
