Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of bimekizumab, a medication given as an injection under the skin. It is aimed at adults who have psoriatic arthritis, a condition that causes joint pain and swelling. Bimekizumab works by blocking proteins that cause inflammation, helping to reduce pain and swelling.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with active Psoriatic Arthritis who previously completed certain studies (PA0010 or PA0011) without withdrawal. Women must be postmenopausal, sterilized, or use effective contraception and not plan pregnancy during the study or within 20 weeks after the last dose.
What is being tested?
The trial tests Bimekizumab's long-term safety and effectiveness when given as a subcutaneous injection to treat Psoriatic Arthritis. It aims to understand how well patients tolerate this medication over an extended period.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, Bimekizumab may cause reactions at the injection site, increase infection risk, and potentially lead to other immune-related conditions due to its action on the immune system.

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
The most common treatments for Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) often target specific interleukins involved in the inflammatory process. Bimekizumab, for example, inhibits both IL-17A and IL-17F, which are cytokines that play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of PsA by promoting inflammation and joint damage. Other treatments, such as Ustekinumab, target IL-12 and IL-23, which are also involved in the inflammatory cascade. TNF inhibitors like Adalimumab block tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), another key cytokine in PsA. These targeted therapies are important for PsA patients as they help reduce inflammation, alleviate symptoms, and prevent joint damage, thereby improving quality of life.
