IL23is are associated with a lower risk of PsA incidence compared to IL17is in PsO patients, particularly in specific age, sex, and ethnic groups according to the latest real-world research from Yu S, et al.

Mease et al. found that bimekizumab demonstrated a favourable long-term safety profile in patients with axSpA and PsA.
Rheumatology (Oxford). 2025;64:1131–1137. doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/keae257
Floris et al. conducted a monocentric cohort study to assess the impact of biologic treatment on the development of PsA in patients with PsO. Treatment with biologics significantly reduced the likelihood of PsA development, with lower prevalence observed across different biologic classes and patterns of joint involvement.

Zhao et al. found that among patients with PsA or axSpA, JAKi were not associated with increased risk of CVD or common cancers compared to TNFi or IL-17i.

Haberman et al. analysed prescribing patterns and characteristics of PsA patients with
multi-b/tsDMARD failure, defined as requiring ≥4 b/tsDMARDs. Among 960 patients at the NYU Psoriatic Arthritis Centre, 17% met this criterion. These patients were more likely to be female, obese, and have higher rates of axial involvement and depression. They also exhibited greater disease activity, suggesting that both inflammatory and non-inflammatory factors contribute to multiple treatment failures.

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.

Poddubnyy et al. analysed five clinical trials to evaluate extra-musculoskeletal manifestations (EMMs) like uveitis, IBD, and psoriasis in patients treated with UPA. They observed low incidences across PsA, r-axSpA, and nr-axSpA. Numerically, uveitis rates were lower in
UPA-treated patients than in those receiving placebo, particularly in r-axSpA.

McInnes et al. assessed the efficacy of guselkumab over 48 weeks in patients with psoriatic arthritis who had an inadequate response to TNF inhibitors. The results demonstrated consistent improvements in joint, skin, and patient-reported outcomes across all baseline-defined subgroups. Guselkumab showed greater efficacy compared with placebo at Week 24, with responses maintained or improved through Week 48.

Kavanaugh et al. conducted a post hoc analysis of a phase 2 trial examining deucravacitinib in patients with active psoriatic arthritis, focusing on the achievement of MDA components.
The analysis demonstrated that treatment with deucravacitinib led to a higher proportion of patients meeting each MDA component compared with placebo at 16 weeks.

Østergaard et al. conducted a phase 4 multicentre, single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the effect of apremilast on MRI-assessed inflammation in PsA patients using PsAMRIS and MRI-WIPE. The study demonstrated that apremilast reduced inflammation in joints and entheses with no structural damage progression. The study also supports the use of MRI as an objective tool in PsA trials.
