Objectives: This pilot study aimed to identify early predictors of drug retention in patients with clinically active peripheral psoriatic arthritis who initiated or switched to therapy with biologic and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs and tsDMARDs).
Methods: Clinical and ultrasound assessments were conducted at baseline (t0) and subsequently at 1 (t1), 3 (t3), and 6 (t6) months. Ultrasound evaluations targeted joints/entheses according to PsASon-Score13 and the most clinically involved joint/enthesis/tendon or the two most clinically involved joints/entheses/tendons (MIJET and 2MIJET).

Objectives: In this post-hoc analysis of ESTHER trial, we aimed to investigate the longitudinal relationship between inflammation on MRI and the achievement of inactive disease/low disease activity in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) treated with long-term tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor etanercept.
Methods: Of the 76 patients with active axSpA in the ESTHER trial, we included all patients treated with etanercept for at least 6 months for main analysis. All clinical and MRI data from 4.
