• Study countries:
  Italy
• Study description:
  This study aims to develop a clinical prediction model for the achievement of 6-month minimal disease activity (MDA) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients starting golimumab. PsA patients who have been newly prescribed golimumab in routine clinical practice will be invited to participate in the study. Data in this observational study will be collected from multiple clinics throughout Italy. Information from a clinical predictive model will permit clinicians to tailor treatments to individual patients and practice more effective and personalized medicine, optimizing the outcomes of patients with PsA.
