Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the retention rates and remission outcomes of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who started treatment with secukinumab over 24 and 48 months.
- Data was collected from 13 European registries, revealing that retention rates were around 51%-64%, and patients with no prior biologic treatments showed better outcomes compared to those with previous treatments.
- The findings suggest that secukinumab remains effective over four years, with higher success rates in treatment-naïve patients compared to those who had already tried other therapies.
