some by the wayside:
- NGF
- TrkA
but some very much in play and exciting:
- neurotrophin-3
- TRPV1
- Nav1.7, 1.8

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

RCT in axSpA (N=200): Digital therapeutic Axia added to stable treatment led to significant improvements in BASDAI (–1.66), BASFI (–1.12), ASQoL (–2.51), with ASAS20/40 responses of 51%/23% vs 9%/3% for usual care. Supports role of DTx in axSpA care. Abstract LB0002 @RheumNow https://t.co/oF6bjIwNIY

LEVI-04 (neutrophin-3 inhibitor presented as #ACR24 late-breaker in knee OA)
more good efficacy data, no rapidly progressive OA safety signal.
For us clinicians: impressive impact size, esp relative to alternatives.
Finally, something that works??

It’s a hot topic at #EULAR2025, but the messages on AI in medicine from patient-professional discussions is clear:
- potential upside massive in many domains, but
- patients still want their clinicians by their side

👁️Uveitis in axSpA:
-Up to 40% can present before SpA dx
-NMA of 44 RCTs showed tx with TNFi, JAKi and IL-17i protective effects against uveitis
-Low rates of uveitis in axSpA pts on BIME trials suggests its possible beneficial effects.
