Certolizumab Pegol Reduced Anterior Uveitis Flares Compared With Standard Non-Biologic Treatment: Results From an Overlap Weighting Analysis in High-Risk Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is the most common extra‐musculoskeletal manifestation of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). This study compared the effect of the tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) certolizumab pegol (CZP) with standard non‐biologic care, on AAU flare rate in patients with axSpA and high risk of recurrent uveitis ...
