Key clinical point: Apremilast led to a significant improvement in enthesitis and dactylitis activity among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) presenting with enthesitis and dactylitis phenotypes, with more than one-third of patients achieving remission after 1 year of treatment.

Major finding: After 6 and 12 months of apremilast treatment, remission was achieved by 25% and 34% of patients with enthesitis and 47% and 44% of patients with dactylitis, respectively, with significant improvements in the Leeds Enthesitis and Dactylitis Indexes (P < .001).

Study details: Findings are from a retrospective study including patients with PsA who presented with either enthesitis (n = 118) or dactylitis (n = 96) phenotype and received apremilast.

Disclosures: This study received no external funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
