At the "What Is New in Psoriatic Arthritis" session at EULAR 2026, Professor Dennis McGonagle (Leeds, UK) took the audience on a whirlwind yet compact tour of the field, touching on three themes: the pathophysiology of PsA, individualization of clinical management, and emerging research and future directions.

Despite the advances in the treatment of PsA with biologic (bDMARD) and targeted synthetic (tsDMARD), less than half of patients with this condition achieved remission or low disease activity. Combination DMARD treatment is often used in order to achieve remission or minimal disease activity. The standard practice is to use a conventional synthetic (csDMARD) with a bDMARD. The use of the combination of bDMARD with a tsDMARD such as a JAKi or TYK2i is a new order in the treatment of PsA.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) can affect up to 30% of patients with psoriasis (PsO). Understanding the factors that predispose patients with PsO who progress to PsA is the first step in understanding how early interventions in PsO may augment the progression to PsA. At #EULAR2024, there are a few presentations on this topic that will help us understand this progression from PsO to PsA better.
