Uncover Study Results with TREMFYA®

Additional TREMFYA® Results at Week 24

FEWER PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS—MORE OF WHAT YOU USED TO DO

TREMFYA® can help reduce the joint pain, stiffness, and swelling that make everyday tasks harder to do. Patients’ ability to perform everyday activities was assessed in a questionnaire. People taking TREMFYA® showed an overall improvement in their ability to perform daily activities such as:

 

FATIGUE WAS REDUCED IN SOME PATIENTS

Treatment with TREMFYA® resulted in improvement in fatigue. Patients’ level of fatigue was assessed using a questionnaire to measure self-reported tiredness, weakness, and difficulty conducting usual activities due to fatigue. Patients were asked to indicate their level of fatigue in the seven days prior.

Feeling Fatigued?

In addition to joint pain, stiffness, and swelling, some psoriatic arthritis patients feel more than just tired. In fact, in a small study of PsA patients, 73% experienced PsA-related fatigue.*

*Study was performed in Denmark. Fatigue was assessed using a patient-reported questionnaire.

MORE THAN JOINT RELIEF—CLEARER SKIN, TOO

Psoriatic arthritis patients treated with TREMFYA® saw an improvement in psoriasis skin plaques.

Additional TREMFYA® Results at 2 Years

LESS JOINT PAIN, STIFFNESS, AND SWELLING IS POSSIBLE EVEN AT 2 YEARS

For patients who continued on TREMFYA® for 2 years, a similar percentage (7 out of 10 patients) saw a 20% improvement in PsA symptoms at 2 years.

At 24 weeks and thereafter, patients and healthcare providers knew that TREMFYA® was being used. This may have increased results. Results may vary.

Individual results may vary.
