SURPASS: SEC vs ADA for axSpA Outcome: %pts with no radiographic progression Not benefit- Secukinumab not better than adalimumab Though negative study, in all groups the progression was very low (<1 mSASS) - both interventions did well! @RheumNow #RNL2023 https://t.co/Vt58jSXCMd

First Head-to-Head bDMARD study in axSpA to assess radiographic progression - secukinumab vs. adalimumab biosimilar - 66% of either arm prevented radiographic progression - no difference between two arms but good news is radiographic progression is low! @RheumNow #RNL2023 https://t.co/xq8GhN7kzr

Late breaking ACR abstract '22 SURPASS study (H2H TNFi vs IL17 in AS radiographic progression.) Primary endpoint was not met. However, Dr. Deodhar's take away: spinal radiographic progression over 2 years is very low despite high disease activity in both txs! #RNL2023 @RheumNow https://t.co/TsukRs29pC

Bimekizumab is a dual IL-17A and IL-17F inhibitor, for nr-axSpA and AS - it works but is it different from existing IL-17i? - appears to work well in TNFi-inadequate responders - are TNFi-IR pts immunologically different? niche category for IL-17A and F use? @RheumNow #RNL2023 https://t.co/dWkakahHAi
