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.

Armstrong et al. evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of deucravacitinib in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis over a three-year period. The study found that exposure-adjusted incidence rates of AEs remained stable or declined over time, with no new safety signals emerging. Clinical response rates, including PASI75/90, were maintained, supporting the drug’s long-term efficacy.

Van den Bosch et al. reported that upadacitinib 15 mg once daily led to sustained improvement in nr-axSpA over two years, including disease activity, pain, and quality of life. The study reports that 57.1% achieved ASAS40 response at week 104, with no new safety signals identified.
J Crohns Colitis. 2025 Feb 4;19(2):jjae128. doi: 10.1093/ecco-jcc/jjae128.
Panaccione et al. investigated the association between achievement of endoscopic remission following induction therapy and hospitalisation outcomes in Crohn’s disease. Patients achieving endoscopic remission at Week 12 experienced a 55% reduction in Crohn’s disease-related hospitalisation rates over the 52-week maintenance period. The results support endoscopic remission as an early therapeutic target.

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.

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.
MD Open. 2025;11:e005081 doi: 10.1136/rmdopen-2024-005081
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.
J. Rheumatol. 2025 doi: 10.3899/jrheum.2024-0906
Edwards et al. reported that in patients with RA who achieved sustained LDA or remission, tapering baricitinib from 4mg to 2mg allowed most to maintain LDA at 96 weeks. Rescue with 4mg restored control for the majority, demonstrating the feasibility of dose reduction with recovery potential for treatment.
J Am Acad Dermatol 2024;91:1150–7 doi: 10.1016/j.jaad.2024.07.1521
Lebwohl et al. investigated the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared with placebo for treating palmoplantar psoriasis. At Wk16, significantly more patients receiving risankizumab achieved palmoplantar Investigator’s Global Assessment (ppIGA) 0/1 and PPASI75. The results were sustained through Wk52 with no new safety signals.
RMD Open. 2025 Jan 21;11:e004987
Miyazaki et al. investigated the efficacy and safety of switching to bDMARDs versus cycling among JAKis in RA patients with inadequate JAKi response. Cycling to another JAKi proved more effective in improving disease activity at 26 weeks compared to switching to a bDMARD, and both groups had similar safety profiles.
