Taltz is indicated for adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), for adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and for adults with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) with objective signs of inflammation. Taltz is also indicated for patients aged 6 years or older with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

Primary endpoint=ACR20 response at week 24.
The uncontrolled extension period of the study (weeks 24-156) has limitations (eg, no placebo comparison; patients remaining in the extension phase may be those more responsive to treatment).

§P<.05 vs Humira at week 24.
All patients had BSA ≥3%; patients with BSA ≥10%, PASI ≥12, sPGA ≥3 followed the dosing for moderate-to-severe PsO.9
Primary endpoint=simultaneous achievement of ACR50 and PASI 100 at week 24.9
Major secondary objective met: demonstrated noninferiority of Taltz vs Humira on ACR50 response at 24 weeks (95% CI [-4.3%, 12.1%]) for noninferiority with -12.0% margin.
ACR70 at week 24 was prespecified but not type-l error-controlled; therefore, results cannot be regarded as statistically significant.

Primary endpoint=ASAS40 at week 52.
Starting at week 16 and up to week 44, changes could b made to non-biologic background therapy and/or patients could be transitioned to open-label Taltz 80mg every 2 weeks at the investigators' discretion. Patients who switched to Taltz 80mg every 2 weeks, were missing week 16 or week 52 data, or discontinued double-blind treatment were considered nonresponders. Taltz 80mg every 2 weeks is not an approved dose for nr-axSpA.
