(FOREMOST) Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability Study of Apremilast to Treat Early Oligoarticular Psoriatic Arthritis

This study aims to explore the efficacy of the drug Apremilast in treating early stages of Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) with limited joint involvement. Apremilast currently is used as an effective treatment for PsA at later stages of disease activity.

This study will determine whether the drug is also effective at preventing joint involvement and further progression of the disease.

Patients who have a recent diagnosis of PsA (2 years or less) that are interested in participating in the study are encouraged to contact the study team to see if they qualify.
