TNF inhibitor
Dr. Jack Cush reviews and highlights his favorite abstracts and presentations from last week's virtual EULAR 2021 meeting.
Dr. Philip Mease et al presented results of a phase II trial (OP0227) at EULAR 2021 that shows the efficacy and safety of an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TYKi), deucravacitinib, for treatment of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
It seems like every conference we are presented with data on the newest biologic for treatment of psoriatic arthritis, but the question is, do we need it?
Oral presentation (6937) discussed that issue and addressed our need for a more personalized approach to the treatment of PsA.

@almirall_m I don't monitor routinely. High rate of seroconversion post-TNFi but only small cases of TNFi-induced SLE (mild mostly). To screen with ANA if develop SLE features
