Clinical, Review, Journal: Children with enthesitis-related arthritis could benefit from treatments targeted for adults with spondyloarthritis. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2022 Considering the similarities between adult spondyloarthritis and ERA in terms of etiology, genetics, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations summarized in this review, medications approved for axial SpA or peripheral SpA should also be studied in children with active ERA involving axial or peripheral joints, respectively, with the intent to achieve labeling for use in children. Considering the current lack of effective FDA-approved therapies for ERA, the FDA should also consider requiring pediatric studies for medications that have already been approved for the treatment of adults with SpA.

All of them synchronously received mepolizumab for EA and another biologic agent (adalimumab, certolizumab, etanercept, rituximab, or secukinumab) for their AD for different periods with a duration ranging from 6 to 44 months. Preliminary results support that synchronous biologic therapy with different agents in EA and AD is feasible with the conservation of their individual efficacy and the absence of any notable adverse outcomes.

Recurrent psoriatic arthritis involving the temporomandibular joint, successfully treated by adalimumab (e-Poster Hall) - Jun 13, 2022 - Abstract #EADVSp2022EADV_Sp_457; Patient was suffering last 3 years by nail psoriasis and axial psoriatic arthritis,treated by certolizumab pegol due to secondary failure to brodalumab treatment...Patient underwent complementary treatment with methotrexate 15mg weekly combined with adalimumab in the dosing regimen of 40mg every second week, after the starting dose...Hence collaboration between dermatologist and rheumatologist is very important for early diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis and its exacerbation that can occur with involvement of TMJ. Early biological treatment initiation can both improve the underlying disease and prevent the recurrence such as TMJ involvement, as well.
