Axial Spondyloarthritis | Unmet Need | US/EU | 2018
In the last ten years, TNF-α inhibitors have transformed the treatment of axial spondyloarthritis, including ankylosing spondylitis and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and have brought new attention to this enigmatic autoimmune disease. Today, a second wave of biological therapies is being approved for this indication, and their success will be shaped by the remaining unmet needs within this population. In this report, we examine areas of unmet need in the treatment of axial spondyloarthritis, including current therapies’ lack of demonstrated ability to inhibit radiographic progression and the lack of FDA-approved therapies for axial spondyloarthritis patients without signs of radiographic damage.
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
