The Evidence Based Rheumatology Podcast

E50: Housekeeping 2

Super brief "checking in" podcast this week.  In short, say "hi" at ACR, write me a review on apple podcasts, send this to a friend, and keep listening :). 

E49: IL17i vs. TNFi for Psoriatic Arthritis (SPIRIT-H2H)

Today I dive into the emerging therapies for psoriatic arthritis, focusing on the IL17i ixekizumab and the recently published SPIRIT-H2H trial. It's a great combination of my favorite thing in RCTs (head to head trials) and my least favorite thing in RCTs (RCTs that were designed in such a way that they don't answer the question I want to know).  

E48: ADACTA - Tocilizumab or Adalimumab in MTX Intolerant Patients with RA

This week I revisit an old paper - the 2013 ADACTA trial that assessed tocilizumab and adalimumab for patients who cannot take or were intolerant of MTX.
