COMPLETE-PsA Trial studied MTX vs MTX + leflunomide in 78 active untreated PsA pts. MTX+LEF was superior to MTX alone at wk 16 (PASDAS 3·1 vs 3·7; p=0·025). Combo group had more N/V (44% v 28%), ^ALT (31% vs 18%). https://t.co/22DhyJUeuo

INBUILD Study of 170 pts with autoimmune related ILD showed nintedanib signifi. slowed the rate of FVC decline in FVC decline over 52 wks (NIN -75.9 mL/yr vs PBO -178.6 mL/yr). AE's (mostly diarrhea) leading to D/C was NIN 17.1% vs PBO 10.2% https://t.co/CmbF5NQMfJ #BestOf2022

There is considerable overlap between fibromyalgia tender points and an enthesitis score in axial spondyloarthritis pts. 526 pts in the Predict-SpA study (53% men, 38% FM) assessed 18 TP and 13 Entheses found ICC between both scores of 0.7 https://t.co/ESmP26plDB https://t.co/7X1XhyML0f
