Are TYK2 inhibitors ‘ticked’ to be part of the JAK family?
Are TYK2 inhibitors JAK inhibitors? Are they effective in PsA? Are they safer than JAKi? Read on to learn more.

Updates in Psoriatic Arthritis at EULAR 2022
At EULAR 2022, I look forward to key topics and presentations in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Here's a preview of nine studies I'm particularly interested in at this meeting.

🚨 Study on MTX and male fertility
Analysis of semen parameters in
🙋🏼♂️HC
🙋🏼♂️RA, PsA and PsO MTX naive
🙋🏼♂️Post MTX
Reassuring data as NO significant effect of MTX was observed on several semen parameters.

Rahman et al. Pooled safety data from IL23i guselkumab clinical trial programme in PsA. 1508 patients 2125 PY. No increase (and generally lower) than PBO. No IBD. @RheumNow #EULAR2022 POS1015 https://t.co/9otcpwW9ni

Rahman et al shows factors associated with variability of fatigue in PsA are systemic disease 34%, joint disease 16%, skin involvement 12%, accounting for 62% and leaving a residual effeect of 38% that was unexplained and needing further research #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0025 https://t.co/RoqjS64Xjy

Dermatologists doing ultrasound (US) for earlier diagnosis of PsA? Grobelski et al showed in this study of 140 PsA patients, pre-US sensitivity/specifity was 81%/55%, post-US this changed to 62%/91%. Targeted US improved accuracy of referrals for PsA #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0029 https://t.co/iajqMuPqcd

Kading et al reports axial disease in 1/3 of patients with PsA, 55% females, 45% HLA-B27+, in 20% there was spinal but no SI joint involvement. Starts to define the Axial PsA patient as more female, less HLA-B27+ and may have only spinal inflammation #EULAR2022 @RheumNow OP0026

Important to capture MDA in the first year! Failure to achieve MDA in 1st year after PsA diagnosis associated with worse quality of life persisting despite intensified treatment.

No longer a "seronegative" disease?
Serological collagen biomarkers (degradation markers of type I and VI collagen) can differentiate PsO pts from PsA.
Potential biomarkers of MSK involvement?

6 psoriatic disease specific risk factors associated with incident cardiovascular events in PsA/PsO patients: PsO area, TJC, SJC, HAQ score, ESR, daily use of NSAIDs

Do biomarkers correlate with change in disease activity in #PsA? Esp IL17F not so much other IL17s, and IL6, IL23. Ian McInnes ? next steps 🤷♀️ to separate responder and non responder @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0024 https://t.co/JMmENRa80t

Proton Rahman discusses #PsA and #fatigue ⬇️ in #Guselkumab RCTs. 2/3 of fatigue was explained by pt factors - pt global and pain, skin, joints, CRP, function drove the data. Ask pt and treat what is treatable.

Cdn cohort of #PsA and CV events - u risk factors were associated with MACE and NSAIDS ⬆️ risk and TNFi ⬇️risk and poor HAQ⬆️ risk. #OP0030 @RheumNow @eular_org Too small events, lipids often absent and spanning 30+ yrs.

AxSpA and AxPsA 2 sides of the same coin or 2 different diseases? Divergent IL-23i efficacy data seem to suggest the latest.
German GESPIC AxPsA cohort:
*More frequently 🚺
*Less frequently B27+
*20% isolated Ax involvement

More from the VITAL study Dr Costenbader @karen_kc123 et al. 5 year supplementation followed 2 year follow up. Vit D 2000iu ⬇️incident autoimmune disease 21%. RA, PMR, psoriasis trend towards reduction. No effect omega-3 @RheumNow #EULAR2022 OP0038 https://t.co/kbKqDhtN9z https://t.co/HcFXbweEPm

in case you're interesting in the causal diagram for the mediation modelling for this:
far from proven, but certainly does raise some questions about a potential advantage of IL-23 inhibitors in a crowded PsA market #EULAR2022 @RheumNow https://t.co/bSuE3tDHUO

#What’sHot? Axial PsA cohort as some drugs seem to work differently in axPsA vs axSpA Less HLAB27+, less male, 17% isolated axial in PsA #OP0026 @RheumNow #EULAR2022 @eular_org https://t.co/I0azSymVrr

Minimal disease activity achivement by PsA domain over 2y, in guselkumab phase 3
Everyone goes on about skin efficacy with guselkumab, but pretty good early on for enthesitis & swollen joints too... has challenged my uninformed thinking!

Can you train #dermatologists to do ultrasound to detect #PsA if pt has joint pain. POCUS of up to 3 painful joints. US ⬆️derm suspicion of PsA- but this is not feasible in busy offices and no reimbursement @RheumNow #EULAR2022 @eular_org OP0029 https://t.co/9a3gDgIBp0
