As second-line therapy, the use of some DmArDs appears to be beneficial for patients with psoriatic arthritis (strength of recommendation [sor]: A, based on systematic reviews of good-quality randomized controlled trials) and ankylosing spondylitis (sor: B, based on systematic reviews of moderate quality trials). Data on the safety and efficacy of DmArDs as second-line therapy for other arthritic conditions is limited (sor: C, based on small prospective cohort trials). |
