The data gathered in this post-marketing surveillance study aligned with the previously established safety profile of tofacitinib, and reports were found to have consistent safety profiles in the treatment of both patient with PsA and RA. However, the results of this study should be interpreted considering the limitations of post-marketing surveillance studies.

Data from this open-label extension showed the efficacy of upadacitinib observed at 56 weeks was maintained through to 152 weeks in the treatment of patients with PsA. No cumulative adverse effects were observed, and no new safety signals were identified.

This systematic review identified DMARDs evaluated for axSpA and PsA, distinguishing between csDMARDs, tsDMARDs, and bDMARDs. The review pinpointed twenty-six distinct targeted therapies currently in clinical development; 18 therapies for axSpA and 15 therapies for PsA.

This study concluded that, in r-axSpA, vertebral corner inflammation may lead to syndesmophyte formation but in a minority of cases via visible fat deposition. Here, investigators aimed to determine how much of the effect of vertebral corner inflammation on the development of syndesmophytes is explained by vertebral corner fat deposition.

High paraoxonase activity is associated with a significantly reduced risk of MACE and non-NMSC malignancies in white/European RA patients. The PON1 Q192R RR genotype had a significantly greater association with paraoxonase versus the QQ genotype, but had no significant association with MACE or non-NMSC malignancies.
