Le filgotinib diminue l'inflammation du corps vertébral et de la colonne postéro-latérale dans la spondylarthrite ankylosante : Résultats de l'essai TORTUGA
Rheumatology 2022;61:2388–2397. doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/keab758
Maksymowych et al., assessed the effects of filgotinib on inflammatory and structural changes at various spinal locations, based on MRI measures in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis in the TORTUGA trial. Correlations between changes in the inflammation score and clinical outcomes were also evaluated.

Impact du filgotinib sur les lésions structurelles de l'articulation sacro-iliaque obtenues par imagerie par résonance magnétique à 12 semaines chez les patients atteints de spondylarthrite ankylosante active (essai TORTUGA)
Rheumatology 2022;61:2063–71 doi:10.1093/rheumatology/keab543
Maksymowych et al., carried out a post-hoc analysis to assess the effect of filgotinib on MRI measures of structural change in the SI joint in patients with active AS in the TORTUGA trial. This study evaluated lesions using SPARCC SSS definitions for erosion, backfill, fat metaplasia and ankylosis by two independent scoring readers.
