#EULAR2026 LB0001 BOLD results in #PsA. First H2H RCT showing superiority of Bimekizumab (IL17A- & F-i) vs Risankizumab (IL-23-i) in primary endpoint, ACR50 49% vs 38% at WK16. The difference was seen from WK4 & sustained to WK24. May help inform choice of Tx @RheumNow #EULARBest https://t.co/s4zbFiepuP
