Mirikizumab was more effective than placebo in inducing and maintaining clinical remission in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. D’Haens, et al. also noted that opportunistic infections and cancer developed in a small number of mirikizumab-treated patients.

The results of two induction studies (UC1 and UC2) and a maintenance study (UC3) show upadacitinib superiority to placebo in treating ulcerative colitis (UC). Rates of clinical remission were significantly higher for all upadacitinib doses versus placebo in all three studies.

Treatment of patients with UC with filgotinib 200 mg was associated with an increase in clinical remission at Week 10 and Week 58. The proportion of patients with clinical remission at Week 58 was significantly greater in patients who continued FIL 200 mg therapy throughout the trial. The incidence of TEAEs was similar across all treatment groups.

The majority of patients receiving persistent risankizumab therapy achieved clear or clear/almost clear skin at 12 months and patients reported significant reductions in DLQI scores, PROs (fatigue, skin pain, overall itch), and work and activity impairment.

This post-hoc analysis by Baraliakos, et al. found a response in short-term index studies was maintained in the long-term OLE studies, and where no response occurred in the index studies, continued treatment led to a response in a large proportion of patients.

Risankizumab therapy was associated with significant and sustained improvement in multiple disease domains from Week 52 through Week 100, compared with placebo. Kristensen et al. investigated the safety, efficacy and tolerability of 100-week risankizumab therapy in PsA patients with previous inadequate response to ≥1 csDMARD, using data from KEEPsAKE 1 trial.

Deucravacitinib improved physical and social functioning, mental health, fatigue, and pain in a
Phase 2 trial in patients with active PsA. Here, investigators aimed to report the impact of deucravacitinib in a Phase 2 study in patients with active PsA from a patient perspective.

Significant improvements in overall disease activity, enthesitis and dactylitis, and skin psoriasis were observed by Week 8 and maintained or improved through Week 100 in both guselkumab treatment groups. Coates et al conducted a post-hoc analysis of the Phase 3 DISCOVER-2 trial to investigate the long-term (100-week) efficacy of guselkumab across GRAPPA-identified PsA domains.
