We explored whether serum cytokines could be used as biomarkers for optimal use of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNF-i) and interleukin (IL) 17 inhibitors (IL-17-i) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Methods. In cohort 1 (47 patients treated with IL-17-i [n=23] or TNF-i [n=24] for ≥1 year), we identified serum cytokines that predicted the achievement of Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis- remission (DAPSA-REM), Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 and Minimal Disease Activit… Show more
