Dual inhibition of IL17A and IL17F in AxSpA
A new target for treatment in AxSpA is the dual inhibition of IL17A and IL17F (IL17A/F). IL17A is a key driver of the inflammation in the AxSpA and Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). IL17A and its structurally related IL17F share biologic functional properties. Inhibition of both cytokines (IL17A/F) should result in a greater clinical benefit in AxSpA and PsA than IL17A inhibition alone.

Of course, imaging itself can be useful in PMR in many situations - and, like GCA, there are merits to all of ultrasound, MRI, and PET/CT.
