Efficacy and Safety Analysis of IL-17A/IL-17F Dual Inhibitors (e.g., Sonelokimab) in Psoriatic Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis

Efficacy and Safety Analysis of IL-17A/IL-17F Dual Inhibitors (e.g., Sonelokimab) in Psoriatic Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis Researchers developed sonelokimab as a nanobody. It blocks both IL-17A and IL-17F. These cytokines drive inflammation in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA). Dual inhibition offers stronger control than blocking IL-17A alone. Efficacy in Psoriatic Arthritis Doctors tested sonelokimab in […]
