The Need for Comparative Treatment Trials in Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is currently experiencing a burgeoning selection of treatment options. While this is a very welcome development in a disease which has had less treatment options compared to RA, it leaves us with a difficult conundrum: which agent to choose for an individual patient.

⭐️Ustekinumab+MTX vs. UST+PBO in PsA?
➡️Additional MTX has no positive impact on UST efficacy for arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, skin, QoL, & function.
*️⃣Thus, no evident to add or maintain ongoing MTX when starting UST

No benefit to using MTX in combination with ustekinumab in PsA. No difference in efficacy for arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, skin, QoL or function. Abstr#L12 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/iojKLqRb06

Individual patient data analysis from RCTs (indirect comparison) of guselkumab vs ustekinumab in PsA. Guselkumab appears superior for joint and skin. Abstr#1773 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/MTRjXyHoh6

Guselkumab 100 mg Q4W and Q8W provided robust and sustained benefits to patients with active PsA across multiple domains. Listen to my interview with Prof. Laura Coates on this and other emerging treatments in PsA here https://t.co/PSbJ0HA5a6

Supporting date for Ixekizumab in PsA with symptoms of axial involvement.
🔹Improvement in QoL (SF-36), ASDAS, BASDAI50
🔹Maintained at 52 weeks
🔹Stricter criteria (younger, ⬆️CRP) showed similar results

Guselkumab improves anaemia in PsA. Appears to correlate with CRP response, ie inflammatory effect. Anaemia resolution associated good outcomes, but many with good outcomes still anaemic. Abstr#1331 #ACR21 @RheumNow https://t.co/LL63Qc0nk5
