Efficacy and safety of tofacitinib in an open-label, long-term extension study in patients with psoriatic arthritis who received adalimumab or tofacitinib in a Phase 3 randomized controlled study: a post hoc analysis.
Arthritis research & therapy · 2024 · Open access · Likely link

Summary

This is a 12-month study investigating the effectiveness and safety of tofactinib in treating the signs and symptoms of active psoriatic arthritis and improving physical function and preserving bone structure in patients with an inadequate response to a traditional, nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug. Adalimumab is used as a comparator.
