Efficacy of secukinumab on dactylitis in patients with active psoriatic arthritis from the FUTURE 5 study

Clin Exp RheumatolPublished Post-hoc analysis of the FUTURE 5 randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

Patients with dactylitis at baseline were associated with higher burden of disease. Secukinumab provided sustained improvements across all clinical outcomes, QoL and inhibition of radiographic progression in PsA patients with dactylitis at baseline over 2 years.
