8 Overall conclusions
8.3 Implications for research
The ERG believes that some uncertainty still remains due to a lack of robust evidence on some key model parameters. Further research is needed into:
The natural history of HAQ score change.
Rebound to HAQ on withdrawal from treatment. Further evidence is required to identify which scenario is most likely to reflect clinical reality.
HAQ and PASI related costs. The limitations of these data were fully discussed in the previous submission and no attempt has been made to address the limitations.
A properly powered trial of ustekinumab versus TNFα inhibitor therapy is required. Any such trial should clearly distinguish between prior anti-TNFα experience and anti-TNFα class
