<h3>Background</h3> Enthesitis and dactylitis are hallmarks for patients with psoriatic arthritis and mechanical injury are common risk factor for enthesitis and dactylitis [1-4]. Biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL), phosphodiesterase type 4(PDE-4), Janus kinase (JAK) blockers and abatacept have shown efficacy on enthesitis and dactylitis in patients with PsA. <h3>Objectives</h3> The aims of this study are to summarize the efficacy of the bDMARDs on enthesitis and dactylitis in patients with PsA. <h3>Methods</h3> Systematically review of articles published up to Jan 2019 in Medline and Web of Science, and abstracts from the two last EUropean League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) meetings. Primary endpoint was the proportion of patients with resolution of enthesitis or dactylitis from week 12 to 24. Secondary endpoint was the mean change in different enthesitis score (Leeds Enthesitis Index [LEI, 0-6], Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score [MASES, 0-13], PsA modified MASES [0-15]) and dactylitis score (Leeds Dactylitis Index [LDI, 0-60], dactylitis severity score [DSS, 0-60], [DSS, 0-20]) from week 12 to 24. Odds ratio (OR) and standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% CIs across studies were synthesized. <h3>Results</h3> Nineteen studies (8,208 patients), 10 drugs (adalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab pegol, golimumab, secukinumab, ustekinumab, ixekizumab, abatacept, tofacitinib and apremilast) and 22 treatments were evaluated. Patients treated with bDMARDs were more likely to achieve resolution of enthesitis compared with placebo (OR for pooled: 1.99, 95%CI:1.74, 2.27; OR for IL blocker: 2.06, 95%CI:1.78, 2.38; OR for abatacept:1.82, 95%CI:1.05,3.14; OR for PDE4 blocker:1.67, 95%CI:1.14, 2.45) (Figure 1) and have significant improvement in terms of LEI (SMD for pooled: -2.17, 95%CI: -2.87, -1.46; SMD for tofacitinib: -3.83, 95%CI: -5.24, -2.43; SMD for TNF blocker: -1.43, 95%CI: -2.38, -0.48; SMD for ixekizumab: -1.47, 95%CI: -2.42, -0.52; Figure 2A), MASES (SMD for apremilast: -1.50, 95%CI: -2.80, -0.21; Figure 2B), PsA modified MASES (SMD for golimumab: -0.32, 95%CI: -0.52, -0.12; Figure 2C) compared with placebo. Patients treated with bDMARDs were more likely to achieve resolution of dactylitis compared with placebo (OR for pooled: 3.26, 95%CI:2.45, 4.33; OR for IL blocker: 3.88, 95%CI:2.97, 5.06; OR for abatacept:1.54, 95%CI:0.71, 3.34; OR for PDE4 blocker:1.50, 95%CI:0.97, 2.33) (Figure 3) and have significant improvement in terms of LDI (SMD for pool: -1.73, 95%CI: -3.07, -0.40; SMD for TNF blocker: -1.67, 95%CI: -3.72, 0.38; SMD for ixekizumab: -1.67, 95%CI: -3.69, 0.12; Figure 4A), DSS [0-60] (SMD for pool: -2.10, 95%CI: -3.11, -1.10; SMD for tofacitinib: -3.39, 95%CI: -4.95, -1.83; SMD for TNF blocker: -0.84, 95%CI: -1.48, -0.20; Figure 4B), DSS [0-20] (SMD for apremilast: -1.20, 95%CI: -2.07, -0.34; Figure 4C) compared with placebo. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Biologic DMARDs was effective for PsA patients with enthesiitis and dactylitis. IL blocker is probably the optimal option to consider when patients present with predominant enthesitis and dactylitis <h3>References</h3> [1] Kaeley GSet al, Semin Arthritis Rheum. 2018Aug;48(1):35-43 [2] Kaeley GSet al, Semin Arthritis Rheum. 2018Oct;48(2):263-273 [3] Schett Get al, Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2017Nov21;13(12):731-741 [4] McGonagle Det al, Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2019Feb;15(2):113-122 <h3>Disclosure of Interests</h3> None declared
