improvements have been observed in both anti–TNF-naïve and anti–TNF-exposed subjects, although anti-TNF-naïve patients experienced greater benefit. Additional phase III studies, including FUTURE-3 (ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT01989468), FUTURE-4 (ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT02294227), and FUTURE-5 (ClinicalTrials.gov/NCT02404350), are planned in order to further assess dosing regimens and patient outcomes. Given the increasingly recognized role of IL-17A in PsA, secukinumab represents an important therapeutic agent in treatment algorithms.
