Wang et al. validated the effectiveness and safety of UPA in this real-world study of Chinese PsA patients. UPA demonstrated comparable effectiveness to secukinumab (SEC) in psoriatic lesion improvement while showing comparable joint symptom relief compared with adalimumab (ADA), coupled with a favourable safety profile.

Zhang et al. observed that, compared to the control group, ixekizumab was associated with an increased risk of new-onset IBD in psoriasis patients, and that there is insufficient evidence to confirm that ustekinumab, bimekizumab, secukinumab, and brodalumab significantly increase the risk of new-onset IBD. Zhang et al. evaluated the risk of new-onset IBD in psoriasis patients treated with five IL inhibitors (bimekizumab, ixekizumab, secukinumab, brodalumab, and ustekinumab), providing insights to inform clinical decision-making. Additionally, compared to the control group, no significant difference was observed in the risk of diarrhoea as an AE.

Choy et al. investigated the efficacy and safety of intensified versus standard infliximab dosing for steroid-refractory acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). The study found that a first dose of 10mg/kg infliximab was not superior to the standard 5mg/kg dose in achieving clinical response by Day 7. Earlier responses were noted with dose intensification, but no significant differences were observed in remission, colectomy rates, or safety profiles by Month 3.
