Bimekizumab (dual-IL-17A/F inhib), may prevent uveitis in patients with axSpA. In phase 3 RCTs (MOBILE 1 & 2) double-blind period, uveitis seen in 0.6% on BKZ vs 4.6% on PBO (p=0.001). In pts w/ hx uveitis, again lower w/ BKZ (6.2/100 PYs vs 70.4/100 PYs) https://t.co/v0wMK45chz https://t.co/CVPdg1k41V

500+ pts AxSPA
No difference in drug discontinuation between IL-17i, TNFi, IL23i over time
Adjusted for CRP, co-medication w/ MTX + classic covariates
IL-17i and IL-23i had experienced a higher number bDMARD failures
