Abstract

Psoriatic arthritis is a medical condition that lies at the intersection of various fields of medicine, and its therapy always requires a comprehensive, holistic approach. Biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) constitute an extremely effective treatment method for PsA, provided that appropriate principles for patient qualification for the drug are followed, along with subsequent monitoring of the response to treatment. Based on their mechanisms of action, four main groups of bDMARDs used in PsA can be distinguished (TNF inhibitors, IL-12/23 and IL-23 inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, CTLA4 agonists). Clinical trials are ongoing in search of registration for additional bDMARDs, and the tasks for doctors and scientists worldwide include patient education, increasing treatment accessibility, and optimizing its costs.
