Summary

This study tested two injectable drugs, secukinumab and ustekinumab, in 119 adults with active psoriatic arthritis who had not responded to or could not tolerate TNFα inhibitors. The main goal was to see which drug better improved physical function over 28 weeks. Both drugs aim to control disease activity, but patients may need ongoing treatment.
