Key clinical point: Treatment with tildrakizumab was more effective than placebo and was well tolerated through 52 weeks of treatment in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Major finding: At week 24, the proportion of patients achieving at least 20% improvement in the American College of Rheumatology response was significantly higher for any dose of tildrakizumab vs. placebo (71.4%-79.5% vs. 50.6%; all P less than or equal to .0125). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs occurred in 64.5% and 3.3%, respectively, and were comparable among treatment arms.
Study details: Findings are from a 52-week phase 2b study of 391 patients with PsA who were randomly assigned to tildrakizumab 200 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W), tildrakizumab 200 mg, 100 mg, or 20 mg every 12 weeks or placebo Q4W.
