Treat to Target in Psoriatic Arthritis.

A treat-to-target approach to psoriatic arthritis has emerged as a topic of interest following successful application of this treatment paradigm to rheumatoid arthritis. In psoriatic arthritis, this has been examined in one randomized trial to date showing benefits of a tight control treatment strategy over standard care. Nonetheless, international treatment recommendations have called for clinicians to aim for a target of remission or low disease activity, although little or no consensus exists on how to measure these targets. An ideal measure to define a treatment target should be able to address all the disease domains and preferences pertinent to an individual patient.
