@StefanSiebert1 @RheumNow Do you think (gut feel) the combined inhibition of A & F looks better than IL17A inhibition alone? I know hard to compare without H2H but given you’re in this field of research...#eular2019

Mease: SEAM study MTX vs Etanercept in PsA.
ETA effects > MTX with no additional benefit of combination.
But some MTX benefit (note no PBO arm).
Interesting separation between MTX<ETA for PASDAS (muli domain) but not DAPSA (joints only) #Eular2019 @RheumNow https://t.co/WSUlGE7NEf

Mease: Filgotinib (selective JAK1i) in active PsA ph2. Promising data.
Interesting and informative way to present individual participant level data over time rather than just aggregate data - may be more useful for clinicians and patients to understand.

So, what are we left with? Some patients get another year free of remission - that’s good. TCZ is steroid-sparing - that’s good. Still questions about longer follow-up and sequelae, and a year’s therapy doesn’t cure everyone. It’s not a panacea for all GCA ills, but it’s a start! https://t.co/6AiIQLnLFN
