Risk of IBD in Patients with Psoriasis, PsA & Ankylosing Spondylitis Starting IL-17 Inhibitors
In February A&R, Penso et al. reported on the results of their study, which explored whether patients with psoriasis, PsA and AS have a higher risk of developing IBD when treated with an IL-17 inhibitor compared with apremilast, a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, or etanercept, a TNF inhibitor.
Risankizumab Effective Against Refractory Psoriatic Arthritis
NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Risankizumab, an inhibitor of interleukin (IL) 23, provides some relief for patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) whose symptoms have responded poorly to standard treatments, according to 24-week results of a phase-3 trial. “Despite the range of available therapies for psoriatic arthritis, efficacious, well-tolerated therapeutic options are needed to treat the diverse…

The Big Picture: How to Assess Disease Activity in Patients with axSpA & PsA in Clinical Practice
Two experts described the measurements of disease activity used in axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis and how rheumatologists can apply them in practice.
New Supplement to The Rheumatologist Highlights Psoriatic Arthritis Advances
It feels like a long decade has passed since March 2020. At The Rheumatologist, we closed out 2020 with a special supplement on gout.

Minimizing Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis
The use of objective, validated outcome measures to track progress in symptom control for patients with psoriatic arthritis was discussed in a session at the 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting titled Optimizing Outcomes in Psoriatic Arthritis: A Domain-Based Strategy. In the years since this presentation, additional research has helped supply greater insights into this topic and…
A Dematologist’s Perspective on Choosing an Anti-Psoriatic Drug
We are fortunate to have clinical practice guidelines for the management of psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) from multiple organizations to help navigate today’s rapidly evolving therapeutic landscape.
