Ramiro et al. show that bimekizumab (BKZ) reduces enthesitis and peripheral arthritis in patients with nr-axSpA and r-axSpA up to 2 years. Authors assessed the effect of BKZ treatment on the main peripheral manifestations of axSpA, including enthesitis and peripheral arthritis, using a range of measures including DAPSA, to Week 104 in the BE MOBILE 1 and 2 studies.

June 2025

Zhang et al. observed that, compared to the control group, ixekizumab was associated with an increased risk of new-onset IBD in psoriasis patients, and that there is insufficient evidence to confirm that ustekinumab, bimekizumab, secukinumab, and brodalumab significantly increase the risk of new-onset IBD. Zhang et al. evaluated the risk of new-onset IBD in psoriasis patients treated with five IL inhibitors (bimekizumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, brodalumab, and ustekinumab), providing insights to inform clinical decision-making. Additionally, compared to the control group, no significant difference was observed in the risk of diarrhoea as an AE.

April 2025

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

February 2025

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.

Baraliakos et al. evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of bimekizumab in axSpA through a 2-year analysis of the BE MOBILE 1 and BE MOBILE 2 studies. Bimekizumab was well tolerated, with a consistent safety profile and no new safety signals. Clinical improvements, including ASAS40 response and MRI remission, were sustained through Wk104.

Gladman et al. assessed the impact of bimekizumab over 1 year on patient-reported symptoms, HRQoL, and work productivity in patients with PsA who were bDMARD-naïve or TNF-IR. The study showed that bimekizumab treatment resulted in sustained improvements across multiple domains, including pain, fatigue, physical function, and work impairment.
