Abstract
Purpose of review: An overview of how the treatment landscape of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) has shaped our understanding of the disease.
Recent findings: Prior to the millennium, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were the only treatment for axSpA, yet only 30% of patients responded and many developed side effects. In 2003, the first biological disease-modifying drug (bDMARD) was licensed for axSpA which substantially improved outcomes in comparison to NSAIDs. In 2022, there are now several bDMARDs for axSpA; however, they too are not universally efficacious in treating axial inflammation and may have deleterious effects on extramusculoskeletal manifestations. Nevertheless, successful or not, each bDMARD gives invaluable insight into axSpA immunobiology. This review discusses how much we have learned from the use of bDMARDs in axSpA, how this has redefined our understanding of the disease, and how we might use this knowledge to develop new and better treatments for axSpA in the future.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in the field of rheumatology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care and prevention of rheumatologic conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas such as the many forms of arthritis, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also occasionally provided.
