Psoriatic Arthritis – Clinical Development Insights

Psoriatic Arthritis – Clinical Development Insights

IAG’s Imaging Expert Team Discuss Psoriatic Arthritis – Clinical Development Insights

Join Dr. Olga Kubassova, Prof. Mikael Boesen, and Prof. Philip Mease during a live webinar to discuss how medical imaging can support targeted patient selection and more precise, objective assessment of the treatment impact.

Watch this webinar

About the Webinar:

One of the challenges in treatment of patients with Psoriatic Arthritis  (PsA) is the disease’s variable presentation. PsA may present in several clinical domains, including synovitis, dactylitis, skin disease, nail disease, spine disease (spondylitis) and each of these domains has subtly different immunologic pathophysiology drivers. Thus, drug developers may find that their new therapies do very well in individual patients or within some of the domains. Medical Imaging, quantitative biomarkers coupled with efficiencies of modern scanners can support targeted patient selection and more precise objective assessment of the treatment impact.

Key discussion points:

  • How can we assess a new treatment efficacy through a clinical trial designed to give us a new comprehensive understanding of the treatment’s impact?
  • Are there biomarkers and imaging techniques which can help differentiate patients early?
  • State-of-the-art and emerging imaging techniques in trials of psoriatic arthritis
  • Imaging biomarkers – in patient selection and efficacy assessment of new treatments targeting PsA

About Dr. Olga Kubassova:
Mathematician and computer scientist with 10+ years expertise in actively managing innovation in life science companies. Scientific interests are in quantitative imaging, development of novel efficacy methodologies, AI, Machine Learning in clinical trials.
