Advanced therapies in enthesitis. Don't believe the spin, they all work, no clear evidence that any agent is better than others. @lihi_eder @RheumNow #RNL2024 https://t.co/FwLMUmmClB

@lihi_eder on enthesitis
- ~1/3 PsA, SpA
- Enthesitis precedes onset of PsA in PsO, high u/s score ass. w/ RFs (BMI, nail dyst)
- Exam: tenderness (non-specific), as swelling uncommon. U/s helpful, but non-specif
- Marker of severity, higher risk of damage

Deucravacitinib takes longer to work for PsO compared to UPA, IL-17i or IL23i; it’s better than apremilast. Side effects w/TYK2i: acne, mild⬆️CK, but zoster & lipid issues aren't seen much, & no CV risk warnings; Dr. Strober doesn't follow labs w/TYK2i. #RNL2024 @rheumnow https://t.co/05jKqL4wdx

Multiple reasons provided by @JointMD including efficacy in domains, it's PO, reasonable safety.

No sex differences in ACR20 responses in patients on JAK/TYK2i .
