In this real-world study, Baraliakos, et al. SC IFX demonstrated clinical effectiveness in both
r- and nr-axSpA, with consistent results across diverse patient characteristics. Both physicians and patients reported high satisfaction with no new safety concerns. Authors assessed the real-world outcomes of CT-P13 SC (SC IFX) as treatment for both r- and
nr-axSpA.

Bakay et al. report  that upadacitinib (UPA) demonstrated sustained efficacy across musculoskeletal and skin domains in PsA patients with prior inadequate response to TNF inhibitors, with a safety profile consistent with previous reports.  Authors conducted a retrospective, single-centre observational study evaluating musculoskeletal disease activity, psoriasis, and patient-reported outcomes following initiation of UPA.

Ramiro et al. show that bimekizumab (BKZ) reduces enthesitis and peripheral arthritis in patients with nr-axSpA and r-axSpA up to 2 years. Authors assessed the effect of BKZ treatment on the main peripheral manifestations of axSpA, including enthesitis and peripheral arthritis, using a range of measures including DAPSA, to Week 104 in the BE MOBILE 1 and 2 studies.

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.

Gollins et al. reported that within this cohort, the Psoriatic arthritis response criteria (PsARC) response to 4^th+ lines of b/tsDMARD was not significantly reduced compared with 2^nd/3^rd line in participants who had failed at least 3 b/tsDMARDs. Authors evaluated the primary clinical response to sequential lines of b/tsDMARD therapy in PsA, focusing on the effectiveness of later line treatments.

Bai et al. reported that JAKi therapy was associated with a reduced risk of incident uveitis compared with TNF inhibitors among patients with AS, PsO, or PsA. Authors conducted a large-scale, real world comparative study which evaluated the risk of incident uveitis among patients with psoriatic disease and AS treated with either TNFi or JAKi.

Mease et al. report that patients without radiographic progression through 2 years of secukinumab treatment had greater achievement of LDA states at Week 104 than patients with radiographic progression. This post hoc analysis by Mease et al. of the FUTURE 5 study evaluated the relationship between radiographic progression status at Week 104 and achievement of LDA or remission and identified demographics and clinical characteristics that were associated with radiographic progression status at Week 104.
