Development of extramusculoskeletal manifestations in upadacitinib-treated patients with psoriatic arthritis or axial spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Rheumatol 2025;77:536–46 doi: 10.1111/1756-185X.70212

Poddubnyy et al. identified no apparent increase in the risk of developing extramusculoskeletal manifestations (EMMs) in patients with PsA, r-axSpA, and nr-axSpA receiving 15mg UPA in the SELECT trials. Majority of patients did not report a history of EMMs at baseline, regardless of disease indication or study treatment.

Development of extra-musculoskeletal manifestations in upadacitinib-treated patients with psoriatic arthritis or axial spondyloarthritis

Arthritis & Rheumatology 2024. Epub ahead of print doi: 10.1002/art.43069

Poddubnyy et al. analysed five clinical trials to evaluate extra-musculoskeletal manifestations (EMMs) like uveitis, IBD, and psoriasis in patients treated with UPA. They observed low incidences across PsA, r-axSpA, and nr-axSpA. Numerically, uveitis rates were lower in
UPA-treated patients than in those receiving placebo, particularly in r-axSpA.
