Does anyone know anything about this new drug approved to treat PsA?
Here is a recent thread: http://discussion.livingwithpsoriaticarthritis.org/forum/topics/apremilast There are actually several just search apremilast. Several of our member were in the trials. I think one is still activley posting. It was pretty much only approved in the US because it worked in some folks that had failed other Bios when nothing elses did. Its initial chance of approval were slim as the phase three trials dropped significantly (as did calgenes stock) Amazingly they redid the trials and got enough improvement in efficacy to wash.
Thanks Lamb, Hopefully someone that was in the trials will let me know about it. I am going to get the ball rolling for the weight loss surgery but it will take a while. I am going to wait and have the surgery one year from now. Between now and then, for insurance to pay I have to lose 10% of my body weight and go through 6 months of psyc eval. I refuse to try another biologic after getting so sick after one dose of Humira. I was really hoping this new drug would help with the inflammation.
