Long‑term comparative analysis of secukinumab versus TNFα inhibitors in patients with spondyloarthritis: Treatment persistence is differentially affected by disease phenotype, obesity and sex

Data by Flouri et al. support greater drug persistence with secukinumab than with TNF inhibitors in patients with axSpA and peripheral spondyloarthritis, both with respect to efficacy- and safety-related discontinuations, while the achievement of 6-month treatment targets was comparable. Flouri et al. compared long term treatment persistence, efficacy and safety between secukinumab and TNF inhibitors in a cohort of patients with SpA treated in real life.
