Methotrexate plus leflunomide is a more effective treatment option for psoriatic arthritis than methotrexate monotherapy, but less well tolerated, a single-centre randomised trial shows.

Dutch researchers say their findings add to a growing body of evidence to support the “seemingly superior efficacy” of this combination therapy for patients with active disease.
