Key clinical point: Tofacitinib improved disease activity outcomes and clinical manifestations in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who initiated and continued treatment with tofacitinib.

Major finding: At 6 ± 3 months of follow-up, 25.0% and 7.8% of patients achieved Clinical Disease Activity Index for PsA-defined low disease activity and remission, respectively, and 18.2% of patients achieved minimal disease activity. A substantial proportion of patients also reported the resolution of dactylitis (29.4%) and enthesitis (42.9%).

Study details: Findings are from an observational study including 222 patients with PsA from the CorEvitas PsA/Spondyloarthritis Registry who initiated treatment with tofacitinib, of whom 123 patients had 6 ± 3 months of follow-up.

Disclosures: This study was funded by Pfizer. Four authors declared being employees and stockholders of Pfizer Inc. The other authors declared having ties with various sources, including Pfizer.
