Two‑Year Imaging Outcomes from a Phase 3 Randomized Trial of Secukinumab in Patients with Non‑Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis
Arthritis Res Ther. 2023;16;25(1):80 doi 10.1186/s13075-023-03051-5
Braun et al. studied a large cohort of patients with nr-axSpA, that demonstrated a secukinumab reduced SI joint inflammation (BME), this reduction was sustained over 104 weeks, from an overall low baseline level of spinal inflammation or structural damage.

Efficacy of Secukinumab on Dactylitis in Patients with Active Psoriatic Arthritis from the FUTURE 5 study
Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2023 doi: 10.55563/clinexprheumatol/vezf95
The presence of dactylitis was associated with a higher disease burden in patients with PsA compared with those without dactylitis at baseline. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of secukinumab in patients with dactylitis at baseline over 2 years.

Factors Associated with the Retention of Secukinumab in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis in Real-world Practice: Results from a Retrospective Study (FORSYA)
RMD Open. 2023 doi: 10.1136/rmdopen-2022-002802 Epub Ahead of Print
This study reported the overall retention of secukinumab in daily practice in the period following its approval in France was approximately 59% at 1 year in axSpA patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether OSI were predictive of secukinumab retention at 1 year.

Enthesitis in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis Treated with Secukinumab or Adalimumab: a post hoc Analysis of the EXCEED Study
Rheumatology (Oxford).2023;kead181. doi 10.1093/rheumatology/kead181.
Results from the 52-week phase 3 EXCEED study showed that secukinumab and adalimumab both display similar efficacy in time to resolution of enthesitis, in patients with PsA, irrespective of baseline enthesitis severity and individual site distribution.
Secukinumab Improves Physical Function and Quality of Life and Inhibits Structural Damage in Patients with PsA with Sustained Remission or Low Disease Activity: Results From the 2-year Phase 3 FUTURE 5 Study
RMD Open 2023;9:e002939 doi 10.1136/rmdopen-2022-002939
Results from the 2-year phase 3 study FUTURE 5 show that the majority of patients with PsA who are treated with secukinumab were able to achieve sustained low disease activity or remission by week 104.
A Patient with Adalimumab-induced Refractory Paradoxical Palmoplantar Pustulosis was Successfully Treated by Ixekizumab: A Case Report
Clin Cosmet Investig Dermatol. 2023;16:879–881 doi 10.2147/CCID.S406164
Ixekizumab, has been shown to be efficacious against paradoxical palmoplantar pustulosis which has been reported following the administration of therapeutic TNFi. Following the increased use of biologic therapies that improve patients’ quality of life are causing paradoxical adverse effects
