RESUMEN
The Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) leadership congregated for a strategic planning meeting before the 2022 GRAPPA annual meeting in New York, USA. Meeting aims were to review GRAPPA's performance in relation to its 2016 goals and identify successes and areas for further improvement, identify key GRAPPA priorities and activities for the next 5 years, and explore committee structures to best support these aims.

At the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) 2022 annual meeting, the Collaborative Research Network (CRN) met to present updates on several projects. These included the GRAPPA-Industry biomarker projects, Axial Psoriatic Arthritis Molecular and Clinical Characterisation Study, Axial Involvement in Psoriatic Arthritis Cohort (AXIS) study, and the Health Initiatives in Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Consortium European States (HIPPOCRATES). The meeting concluded with a discussion on pathways to further academia-industry collaboration.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis with a highly variable clinical presentation that does not have a validated molecular or imaging test, making accurate diagnosis a challenge. Consequences of diagnostic delay include irreversible joint damage and significant morbidity. Over the past few decades, there have been major advances in the understanding and treatment of PsA, leading to more targeted therapies. However, there is no current method to predict optimal treatment strategy to achieve minimal disease activity and prevent medication-related adverse events in the management of early disease. PsA is also associated with other comorbidities that include metabolic syndrome and psychosocial burden; two areas that are often unaddressed in the clinical setting and have associated sequelae. This chapter focuses on key domains of unmet needs, which include diagnostic challenges, delay in diagnosis, prognostication systems and stratified medicine approaches and precision medicine strategies for established and emerging therapies.
