Effectiveness of ixekizumab in 709 real-world patients with axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis: a nationwide cohort study
RMD Open 2025;11:e005806 doi: 10.1136/rmdopen-2025-005806
In this nationwide observational study, ixekuzumab was mainly used in patients with axSpA and PsA who had previously failed multiple b/tsDMARDs, including other IL-17 inhibitors. Although prior IL-17 treatment was associated with increased risk of withdrawal in both groups, the relatively high retention rates and improvements in all disease outcomes suggest ixekizumab as a viable option for challenging patients with multiple b/tsDMARD failures.
