Brief Summary

The general objective of the OPTIMA study is to assess the time course and interrelationship of imaging (ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging), clinical, laboratory, and Patient Reported Outcome variables in patients with active Psoriatic Arthritis (any subset) and Rheumatoid Arthritis starting therapy with a Jak-Inhibitor (Upadacitinib), during the first 6 months of follow-up. Participants will be evaluated at the start of therapy with upadacitinib and during the follow-up visits at 2 weeks, 1, 3, and 6 months post-treatment initiation. At each visit (with the exception of the 2-weeks visit), data relating to the clinical evaluation, laboratory tests, and ultrasound of the affected joints will be collected according to standard clinical practice; questionnaires on disease activity will also be completed. In the case of axial involvement, a magnetic resonance imaging will be performed at baseline and after 6 months of therapy, only if required by the standard of care.

Eligibility Criteria

The inclusion criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis patients are: 1. Patients diagnosed with peripheral Psoriatic Arthritis according to the CASPAR criteria or with axial Psoriatic Arthritis according to ASAS criteria and with at least one of the following: 1. With active peripheral Psoriatic Arthritis regarding ongoing therapy in one of the following sites: MCP joints 1-5, proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of hands 1-5, distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints of hands 2-5, wrists, elbows, knees and ankles/heels and feet, according to any of the following criteria: I) DAPSA ≥ 15 and joint inflammation according to the Global OMERACT-EULAR US scoring for synovitis and power Doppler (GLOESS) with a grade at patient level \>3,2 II) With a clinical enthesitis and an active enthesitis (positive power Doppler of any grade), in the clinical symptomatic site, according to the OMERACT US definitions III) With active dactylitis (clinical diagnosis made by the physician at the time of baseline visi
