Adult patients (aged 18–80 years) with active rheumatoid arthritis (Disease Activity Score in 28 joints >3·2), who were naive to targeted disease-modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), had not had methotrexate or leflunomide in the past 3 months, and had no previous pneumococcal vaccinations were included. Patients were excluded in case of treatment with methotrexate or with leflunomide within the previous 3 months and absolute or relative contraindications to methotrexate. Patients were vaccinated with PCV13 at randomisation, before being randomly assigned (1:1) to either the immediate group (methotrexate treatment [maximum dose 15 mg per week] initiated at the same time as PCV13 vaccine) or the delay group (methotrexate initiated 1 month after PCV13 vaccine). Randomisation was stratified by sex (self-reported) and DMARD naive status. 2 months later, patients in both groups were vaccinated with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Humoral responses, disease activity, infections, and adverse events were assessed at baseline and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PCV13. The primary outcome was the responder rate at 1 month, defined by positive responses against at least three of five target serotypes (ie, 1, 3, 5, 7F, and 19A). Responders were defined according to a 2 or more-fold increase in IgG concentrations with ELISA or opsonophagocytic assay compared with baseline.

Patients aged 16 years and older with psoriatic arthritis or axial spondyloarthritis and stable low disease activity for at least 6 months participated in the original DRESS-PS trial. Patients were randomly assigned to either a treat-to-target tapering strategy (the intervention group), which involved extending the interval between TNF inhibitor doses, resulting in doses of 100%, 66%, 50%, or 0% of the defined daily dose, or to a treat-to-target strategy without tapering (the control group). All patients who participated in the DRESS-PS trial were eligible to participate in this extension study, in which treat-to-target tapering was allowed for all patients, and treatment decisions were made through shared decision making between physicians and patients. The primary outcome was the difference between the original intervention and control groups in the proportion of patients with low disease activity at 24 months; this difference (adjusted for stratification factors at randomisation) was compared, without and with imputation, with the prespecified non-inferiority margin of 20% from the original DRESS-PS trial, and non-inferiority was determined from the adjusted 95% CIs.
