Comparing five advanced treatments for axial spondyloarthritis and psoriatic arthritis
Official title: Clinical Characteristics, Treatment Patterns and Outcomes in Patients With axSpA and PsA Following Initiation of Bimekizumab, Risankizumab, Guselkumab, Upadacitinib or a TNF Inhibitor
Run by Adelphi Real World · NCT07166315 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will see how well bimekizumab, risankizumab, guselkumab, upadacitinib, or a TNF inhibitor work for adults with axSpA or PsA who have just started one of these medicines, using medical records and patient surveys.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with a clinical diagnosis of axSpA or PsA who started one of the listed advanced therapies within one month before enrollment and are not enrolled in another clinical trial.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients already taking the treatment for longer than one month before enrollment, those currently enrolled in another clinical trial, or those unable or unwilling to complete surveys are unlikely to benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This observational study will follow adults with axial spondyloarthritis or psoriatic arthritis who have begun treatment with one of five advanced therapies at participating NHS hospitals in the United Kingdom. Patients will complete surveys about symptoms, quality of life, and treatment experience during the study period. Investigators will also review participants' medical records retrospectively toward the end of follow-up to capture clinical outcomes, medication history, and healthcare use. The design is intended to provide real-world comparisons of effectiveness and patient-reported experience across these therapies.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help patients and clinicians choose treatments that work better in everyday practice and better reflect patient experiences.
How similar studies have gone: Registries and observational studies have produced useful real-world effectiveness and safety data for TNF inhibitors and JAK inhibitors, while comparable real-world comparisons including newer agents like bimekizumab and some IL-23 inhibitors remain relatively limited.
