Psoriatic arthritis
For people living with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the comfort of a good night's sleep may feel out of reach for many.
The last day was jammed with important reports and research including the late breaking abstracts.
A few things we know about opioids: use is common; it’s not efficacious in the treatment of spondyloarthritis; and, there is an opioid epidemic and its users are stigmatized. Abstract 0402 is a retrospective study that looked at patients with psoriatic arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis in the FORWARD databank. It sheds new light and leaves us with some food for thought

Curtis et al. Primary non-adherence to csDMARDs and b/tsDMARDs in RA/PsA/SpA. Medicare and commerically-insured patients. 20-44%! of new prescriptions not filled by 6 months. Higher for csDMARDs than b/tsDMARDs @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#2199 https://t.co/Pwg6GKu7Gg https://t.co/wPF0pu1UDa

Ritchlin et al. Bimekizumab in bDMARD naive PsA. 52 week results. Not surprisingly, week 16 outcomes sustained. No joint difference to ADA, skin slightly better @RheumNow #ACR22 Abstr#L02 https://t.co/RjCV8Hb3HR https://t.co/a0NQFyFZlt

A new murine model to study Pso and PsA!
Immunodeficient mice NSG-SGM3 🐁 injected w/ serum & PBMCs from Pso and/or PsA pts = pro & arthritis (same phenotype than pts)
Mice skin & synovia >effector memory CD8 T cell & < naïve

Get the skinny on Bimmy! Gotta learn this name #Bimekizumab in bio naive PsA N=852 Bimmy=IL17 A & F inhibitor Great data on skin & joints. Where will it fit in as we have other IL17Ai’s is IL17F giving added value? #ACR22 #ACRBest @RheumNow https://t.co/wNAzTaLhsM
