APEX Phase 3b trial: #guselkumab (Q4W or Q8W) reduces joint damage in #PsA ✅ ACR20: 67–68% vs 47% (PBO) ✅ ↓radiographic progression (vdH-S: 0.55/0.54 vs 1.35) No new safety signals identified. @RheumNow #EULAR2025 #LB0010 https://t.co/LLN1TXvOC3

Results from open label extension of BE-OPTIMAL: -Bimekizumab in bDMARD naïve pts showed sustained efficacy after 1y until 3y. -No significant major tolerability issues or major SE. abstract #POS1294 #EULAR2025 @RheumNow https://t.co/VAEiciCR1z

✅Exciting results from POETYK PsA-1: -Deucravacitinib (TYK2i) in PsA -ACR 20 was achieved in significantly more patients treated with deucravacitinib vs placebo at W16 (54.2% vs 34.1%; P < 0.0001), with similar results for ACR 50 and ACR 70 -Also met 2dary endpoints. -Post hoc https://t.co/S4DhovMCma

Hidradenitis suppurativa is newer to us in rheumatology, but it seems like inflamm arthritis is a problem - at least to a similar extent as in psoriasis. Time for us to look for it & to see what therapies like IL-17 inhibitors do for this arthritis #EULAR2025 POS1237 @RheumNow https://t.co/b5EQdDEAhq

Low disease activity more difficult to achieve in vulnerable populations. All rheumatic diseases - #RA #PsA #AS initiating DMARDs takes longer in these population #EULAR2025 @RheumNow https://t.co/voIivshKRt

In the APEX Phase 3b RCT (N=1020), guselkumab (IL-23p19 inhibitor) significantly reduced radiographic progression (ΔvdH-S 0.55 & 0.54 vs 1.35 PBO; p≤0.002) and improved ACR20 (67–68% vs 47%) at W24 in biologic-naïve PsA. Safety consistent with prior data. Abstract LB0010 https://t.co/mFDsBsCg6m

In 4,121 SpA pts (mean age 45y; 61% male), composite scores w/ joint counts (DAPSA, DAS28, DAS44) best discriminated peripheral arthritis activity vs PGA & SJC alone. All scores had excellent construct validity; CRP weakest. Composite indices may optimize SpA assessment. https://t.co/oM97BEkkH5

In clinical practice, not all US enthesitis findings are SpA-specific. Enthesophytes/calcifications common in healthy pts. Inflammatory lesions (PD signal, erosions) at Achilles, distal patella & greater trochanter better distinguish PsA/axSpA. Target key sites to improve US https://t.co/jO61QjKfQp

In 581 PsA pts (EuroSpA), MRI showed axial SpA features in 31%: BME (69%), erosions (68%), fat lesions (58%). MRI-axPsA pts: younger (41y vs 46y), male (70%), HLA-B27+ (55%), ↑CRP (13 vs 7 mg/L). Radiographs identified sacroiliitis in 29%. MRI adds key detection. POS0297 https://t.co/nAw0BDAH22

Using high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT), patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) & psoriasis (PsO) show reduced cortical volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) & thinner cortex vs controls. Bone mechanics impaired: reduced stiffness & failure https://t.co/ghH2cwOYJc

In real-world PsA, IL-23 inhibitors (guselkumab/risankizumab) showed clinical response in axial/mixed PsA. Best response seen in pts meeting ASAS axial SpA criteria (RR 7.64) & baseline ASDAS-CRP >2.1. Supports role of patient stratification in axial PsA. Abstract#POS0113 https://t.co/qowZZmJOpM

Are we missing axial/SIJ lesions in PsA or are we misdiagnosing AxSPA + PSO pts for PsA? 5 register studies including 580+ pts w/ PsA/AxSPA+PSO 1/3 PsA routine care patients had SIJ MRI = SPA 29% Rx SII r-mNY criteria+ of which 38% MRI lesions AxSPA @RheumNow #EULAR2025 https://t.co/DJljlm7T9m

Prediction of PsA in PSO pts: does it work? First predictive model using mainly clinical data and labs extracted from primary care Performs well in the cohort it was trained w/ but not in validation cohort. Often an issue with prediction models! Needs more granularity than https://t.co/5cVgqfd4fX
