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.

Disclosures: This study was funded by Sun Pharma Global FZE, and the analyses were funded by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Princeton, NJ, USA. Some of the authors reported receiving research grants, honoraria, consulting fees, and/or speaker fees from various sources. AM Mendelsohn and SJ Rozzo reported being an employee of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, Inc. and/or holding shares in Johnson and Johnson.
