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.

Gossec et al. demonstrated that tofacitinib significantly reduced fatigue in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, with median times to clinically meaningful improvements of 8 and 12 weeks for initial and stable improvement events, respectively. These changes were observed as early as two weeks and were more pronounced compared to placebo.

Delcourt et al. conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis revealing that both pharmacological (DMARDs) and non-pharmacological interventions reduce fatigue in axSpA patients over short and medium terms, with greater efficacy seen when combined.

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.

Increasing proportions of guselkumab-randomized patients met MDA domain criteria through
Week 100.

Secukinumab efficacy regarding PROs and retention rate was comparable between axSpA and PsA patient groups when adjusted for confounders. Christiansen et al compared 6-, 12- and 24-month pain, fatigue, PGA, and HAQ PROs in axSpA and PsA patients treated with secukinumab, as well as 24-monthy retention rates in this real-world study.
