Evaluations of treatment effects were conducted by the PSARC, ACR 20, 50 and 70, LEI, PASI, BSA, HAQ and CRP at wks 4 and 12. Results. The sings of activity of PsA at baseline were: DAS=4,8 (4,0; 5,45), LEI=4,25 (0,25; 8,05), PASI=10,5 (7,2; 12,1), BSA=1,75 (1; 2), HAQ=1,125 (0,875; 1,5), СRР=27,9 (11,4; 34,6). After 4 wks all parameters significantly improved: DAS=2,85 (2,1; 3,1), LEI=1,86 (0; 3,97), PASI=6,4 (2,8; 8), BSA=0,75 (0,15; 1), HAQ=0,375 (0,125; 0,625), СRP=1,7 (1,4; 3,2) and were maintained after 12 wks: DAS=1,6 (1,3; 2,03), LEI=0,38 (0; 0,89), PASI=1,1 (0,4; 2,2), BSA=0 (0; 0,9), HAQ=0,312 (0; 0,625), СRР=1,75 (0,7; 3,6); p
