US Bursitis and BMI Predict Joint Issues in Psoriasis
In patients with mild psoriasis and no initial musculoskeletal signs, ultrasound bursitis at entheses was associated with the development of inflammatory symptoms suggestive of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and those who developed musculoskeletal symptoms had higher BMI and fatigue scores and had a higher risk for transition to PsA. METHODOLOGY: This prospective multicentre study included 78 patients with mild psoriasis without musculoskeletal symptoms who were not on systemic treatment; 82% of them had mild disease and 39.7% presented with onychopathy. Researchers performed ultrasound evaluation of 40 joints and 10 entheses bilaterally at baseline and during follow-up; these were assessed for synovial hypertrophy, power Doppler signal, and entheseal changes including bursitis. Study outcomes were the diagnosis of PsA and new-onset musculoskeletal symptoms. The median follow-up duration was 76.6 months. TAKEAWAY: Among 60 patients who completed the study, 6.6% developed PsA over a mean of 20.2 months according to the CASPAR criteria, corresponding to the annual incidence of approximately 1%. Overall, 56.6% of patients developed musculoskeletal symptoms and had significantly higher BMI ( P = .013) and abdominal circumference ( P = .022) at baseline. = .013) and abdominal circumference ( = .022) at baseline. These patients also scored higher on pain (2.14 vs 0.91; P = .047) and fatigue (3.25 vs 1.21; P = .011) components of the baseline Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease questionnaire than those not developed musculoskeletal symptoms. = .047) and fatigue (3.25 vs 1.21; = .011) components of the baseline Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease questionnaire than those not developed musculoskeletal symptoms. Ultrasound bursitis at entheses was present in 80% of patients who developed inflammatory arthralgia suggestive of PsA ( P = .049). = .049). The total joint ultrasound score at baseline was significantly higher in patients who developed musculoskeletal symptoms ( P = .037). IN PRACTICE: "Around half of the patients with PsO [psoriasis] developed MSK [musculoskeletal] symptoms during the follow-up and they had significantly higher BMI, more joint US [ultrasound] findings and scored higher in pain and fatigue scales at baseline PsAID [Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease] questionnaire, defining a subgroup with potentially higher risk to develop PsA. On the other hand, US bursitis at enthesis was related to the onset of MSK symptoms suggestive of PsA," the authors wrote. SOURCE: This study was led by Ana Belén Azuaga, Hospital Clinic, Barcelona, Spain. It was published online on June 04, 2025, in Rheumatology . LIMITATIONS: The sample size was relatively small, potentially underestimating the incidence of PsA in patients with psoriasis. The exclusion of patients with musculoskeletal symptoms and those on systemic therapy likely excluded individuals with a higher risk of developing PsA. Additionally, a significant proportion of patients initiated disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy during the study, including biologics, which could have affected the development of PsA symptoms. DISCLOSURES: This study was supported by research grants from Pfizer and Novartis. Additional support came from the Innovative Medicines Initiative 2 Joint Undertaking. The authors declared having no conflicts of interest.

J&J reports new data from Phase III trial of icotrokinra for plaque psoriasis
Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has reported new data from the Phase III ICONIC-TOTAL trial, which evaluated icotrokinra, an oral peptide, in treating plaque psoriasis (PsO). The randomised clinical trial focused on the adult and adolescent patients aged 12 and above, having a body surface area as low as 1% and with at least moderate psoriasis affecting critical skin sites. The study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the therapy against placebo for treating plaque PsO in 311 subjects who have at least moderate severity affecting areas such as scalp, genital and/or hands and feet), with overall Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1 with a minimum of a two-grade improvement as the primary goal. The primary endpoint was met, with 57% of subjects treated with the therapy achieving clear or almost clear skin at the mark of week 16 based on the IGA score, against the 6% in the placebo group. J&J noted that the therapy also showed high skin clearance rates in subjects having scalp and genital psoriasis, with 66% and 77% of patients, respectively, achieving clear or almost clear skin, compared to 11% and 21% with placebo. In a smaller subset of subjects having hand/foot psoriasis, the therapy's treatment demonstrated a numerically higher rate of skin clearance, with 42% achieving a hand and/or foot Physician's Global Assessment (hf-PGA)score of clear (0) or almost clear skin (1) against 26% for placebo. The safety profile of the therapy was found to be favourable, without any safety signals observed. Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine vice-president and immunodermatology disease area lead Liza O'Dowd said: 'These new findings build upon the impressive scalp psoriasis results seen in ICONIC-LEAD and strengthen the breadth of data demonstrating the potential for icotrokinra to shift the treatment paradigm in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, by offering a combination of skin clearance and favourable safety in a once daily pill.' This study is part of the larger ICONIC clinical development programme, which began in the fourth quarter of 2023 with two trials, ICONIC-LEAD and ICONIC-TOTAL, under a licence and partnership agreement between J&J's Janssen Biotech and Protagonist Therapeutics. Plaque PsO is stated to be a chronic immune-mediated condition leading to painful, inflamed, scaly plaques on the skin. Also known as JNJ-77242113 or JNJ-2113, icotrokinra is tailored to selectively block the Interleukin-23 (IL-23) receptor, which is a key player in the inflammatory response associated with plaque PsO, ulcerative colitis, and other IL-23-mediated conditions. Last month, Johnson & Johnson reported data from the ICONIC-LEAD trial's subgroup analysis, assessing icotrokinra in treating moderate-to-severe plaque PsO.
