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) affects approximately 30% of patients with psoriasis (PsO), and diagnostic delays are associated with worse prognosis, making early detection crucial. At EULAR 2025, several studies highlighted progress in prediction strategies. Here's my review of three of them.

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.

Years of IL-17 vs. IL-23 debate in PsA finally got tested head-to-head: bimekizumab outperformed risankizumab on joint outcomes in the BE BOLD trial, while a GLP-1 combination study suggests weight and metabolic status are active drivers of PsA — not just comorbidities. This recap also digs into early signals that biologic choice may influence whether psoriasis progresses to PsA, and why some well-controlled patients are still in pain.

Psoriatic arthritis develops in approximately 20 to 30 per cent of patients with psoriasis, yet predicting which patients will make the transition and when, has remained one of the most clinically challenging questions in rheumatology. A study presented at EULAR 2026 provides the most granular ultrasound characterisation yet of the journey from psoriasis, through subclinical disease, to early clinical PsA. The study identifies the specific imaging features that distinguish patients whose arthralgia is progressing toward arthritis from those who remain stable.
